Legal People Celebrated its 40th Anniversary!

2014 marked a very special occasion for Legal People as we celebrated 40 years of being in business! We are one of the longest established and reputable specialist legal recruitment agencies in Australia, an achievement we are all very proud of!

During this time Legal People became a market leader in legal recruitment, including both lawyer and legal support recruitment. We are now an exclusive and preferred legal recruitment service provider to many national, international and locally based law firms.

By our 40th anniversary, we had in excess of 20,000 registered candidates and due to our extensive networks and our focus on building long term relationships with our clients and candidates alike, we were very fortunate to have an ever-growing referral base of high calibre legal people.

We are very thankful to our candidates and clients who have entrusted their careers and often pivotal roles in our hands. We always focus on trying to find the best long term match & solution for both parties involved, rather than just a short term fix.

Combined, the Legal People team has over 85 years legal recruitment industry experience making us one of the most experienced teams in Australia!

We are excited about the year ahead and look forward to celebrating many more milestones to come!

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Warm regards,

Sharon Henderson
