We service law firms in the North and Midlands. We cover all areas of law in firms big and small. We do not believe that Search is only to be used for Partner positions - it can be used whenever demand for talent exceeds supply.

In Langdale's first three years of trading a staggering 87% of our revenue came from placement fees - showing that we fill jobs rather than taking retainers and failing to fill positions. We have filled EVERY Search for which we have been retained to date, with the one exception being where the client cancelled the Search due to market conditions detiorating during the grip of the credit crunch.
Most importantly, however, at Langdale Search & Selection we take a methodical, thorough approach which maximises the chances of filling your position within a healthy timeframe.
As such, if you are a law firm looking to partner with an experienced legal recruiter who will take time to get to know you and to understand your needs and is concerned with filling positions rather than winning retainers, then you should talk to us.
