Legal People is a leading, highly reputable specialist legal recruitment service provider located in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD in Bourke Street (opposite the Law Institute of Victoria). We are one of the first established legal specialist recruitment agencies in Australia having celebrated our 35th anniversary in December 2008!
The company was founded on the philosophy of providing a personalised service and maintaining enduring relationships with clients and candidates. It is these values which have underpinned Legal People’s long-term success.
Despite our Melbourne based location we are able to source quality legal candidates on a global basis. We have affiliated offices in Sydney, Brisbane, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. This strong allegiance has enabled the servicing of national clients in the provision of professional staff, practice mergers and legal support staff.
Legal People takes pride in the ongoing rapport and excellent reputation, established over three decades, with a broad ranging client base which includes corporations, large to medium national and international law firms, through to the smaller specialist boutique style practices.
Specialising in the provision of high calibre legal personnel, Legal People assist clients with their lawyer and support staff appointments on a permanent, temporary or contract basis. For many years, Legal People has also provided practice merger/acquisition, strategic business and succession planning advice.
Our knowledge of the legal market is second to none. Combined our consultancy team has over 50 years of legal recruitment expertise!
