Client services

gmk set up in 1998 and are now one of the UK’s leading legal recruitment businesses. We specialise in placing lawyers at all levels from newly qualified to partner. We are discreet, knowledgeable and produce results. All of our consultants are ex lawyers, which gives us a first hand understanding of what law firms and lawyers do.

We work on a contingent basis so that regardless of how much work we put in, if we don’t make a placement we don’t charge a fee. Our clients include all the major law firms in London and the South. Additionally we act for various firms internationally in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and our financial services division acts for many of the leading banks in the UK and overseas.

Over the years we have adopted the policy of only submitting details of candidates who match a job specification and who are suitable for interview. Our ethos is a quality rather than quantity approach.

As we generate a huge amount of loyalty amongst our candidates with over 50% of the candidates we place coming from recommendations and referrals, many of the candidates we submit will be dealing with us exclusively.

Apart from placing lawyers we also provide the following services to our clients:

  • Undertaking advertising campaigns
  • Providing salary advice
  • Advising on recruitment methods and retention of staff
  • Advising on specific sectors of the market.
