Legal

As former lawyers and Magic Circle recruiters, our Legal team members have a deep practical and technical understanding of a broad spectrum of roles across the law sector.

The legal profession continues to attract high calibre candidates, drawn by its range of career opportunities.

Legal practice requires a sharp analytical mind, agile problem-solving abilities, commercial acumen and the interpersonal skills that win client confidence. Those who work as solicitors, barristers, in-house counsel, in paralegal services or who serve on tribunals share a passion for helping others, good judgement, the stamina to handle a demanding caseload and an enthusiasm for new ways of working. The rewards are commensurate with the challenges – a top salary, constant stimulation and opportunities to be part of a highly motivated and intellectually diverse team of colleagues.

Understanding this diversity and its accompanying challenges is one of City CV’s strengths. Not only does our team understand the sector but we know how to support our clients on their journey to find the role that best meets their qualifications, goals and aspirations.

For some, this means identifying and consolidating their skills through a targeted coaching programme. Others benefit from a fresh approach to their personal branding documents, resulting in powerful CVs and LinkedIn profiles which reflect their professional expertise, their command of a legal specialism, their commercial value, and give an immediate snapshot of their career history and achievements.

Whether for an in-house lawyer position, a general counsel, partner, a family, tax or corporate lawyer or just seeking a change of direction, individuals and organisations can take advantage of our executive coaching programmes.

“I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I have been offered the role at the law firm that I was interviewing for. I have no doubt that I would not have got this role without the help of City CV – writing my CV, writing my LinkedIn profile and the interview coaching. Without these things I would have been in the same position as before – getting nowhere. I have already thanked Nick, the interview coach and Rachel for writing my CV and LinkedIn profile. And thank you City CV – money well spent!”
