In-house Legal & Compliance Jobs - and nothing else!

Florit Legal is a recruitment and search consultancy focused on in-house legal jobs and senior governance, risk and compliance positions in the UK.

Our range of expertise spans the full range of scenarios requiring the search and selection of in-house legal and compliance professionals. We specialise in General Counsel, Chief Legal Officer and Head of Legal positions, and help these senior lawyers to build strong teams. Aside from the Heads of Governance, Risk and Compliance, we help clients to recruit niche subject matter experts in pervasive legal compliance specialisms, as well as more industry-specific compliance roles.

Our clients are typically constituents of the different FTSE Indexes, AIM-listed PLCs or large PE-backed enterprises looking to grow their in-house legal and compliance functions across a range of industry sectors. Where businesses are beginning to scale rapidly, we are often recommended to recruit their first in-house lawyer. Other projects see us partnering with overseas businesses seeking lawyers for UK or EMEA legal functions.

Employers

The challenges to overcome in filling in-house legal jobs:

  • CANDIDATE ATTRACTION: Internal recruiters find legal recruitment harder than their mainstream hiring projects. Its low-volume nature means they often lack the experience required to fill roles effectively – this leads to delays or unfulfilled requirements.
  • APPLICANT QUALITY: Unless it’s a major brand with high recruitment ‘kerb-appeal’, a company may struggle to attract the highest quality candidates. Advertising often attracts too many of the wrong people. A headhunting approach is time-consuming in the wrong hands.
  • BEHAVIOURAL ALIGNMENT: The best technical legal skills alone won’t result in a successful long term hire without the right behavioural fit. You need both to avoid a bad hire.

Our depth of experience and proven LTAR® methodology overcome all these challenges and our market-leading guarantees will significantly de-risk your hiring process.

Candidates

Whether you’re working in-house or in practice, you want:

  • IN-HOUSE ROLES: In-house legal and compliance roles are all we deal with. We never act for law firms. So we won’t push practice roles your way. That’s a promise.
  • MORE FULFILMENT: Whatever the root cause, you’re probably here because you’re dissatisfied on some level. When our model delivers a potentially suitable opportunity for you, we’ll try our very best to make sure it takes you in the right direction.
  • THE ‘BEST FIT’ FOR YOU: Our LTAR® system doesn’t just benefit the employer. Behavioural assessments are the best way of predicting whether you’re going to be happy in a role. In recruitment, behavioural fit is often more important than the technical experience you have. And ‘fit’ works both ways.

Whilst the nature of the in-house legal job market means we might not have exactly the right role for you immediately, we know you won’t want to be overlooked on a search in the future.
