We are a market leading, global legal search and recruitment specialist business, with an extensive network of legal, compliance & risk professionals. For over thirty years we have been connecting candidates with the world’s leading businesses and law firms.

Our success comes from investing in long-term relationships with clients and candidates who trust our expert advice. We set up the first specialist recruitment consultancy in most markets we are in, building a knowledgeable team of advisors who thrive in a collaborative culture.

As a global legal recruitment specialist and search firm, we reach a diverse and extensive candidate pool. We connect people and create opportunities.

An opportunity has arisen to join Taylor Root’s highly successful in-house legal team, within the Corporate & Commercial division. This is a fast-paced interim desk specialising in recruiting lawyers for temporary positions. You will get the opportunity to work with an impressive portfolio of clients including companies in the heavy industry space (construction, property energy and renewables, property, manufacturing, telecommunications, defence and services) as well as consumer sectors such as retail, media, technology, leisure, gaming, FMCG and not for profit.

Our culture places a huge amount of trust in our team – no KPI’s, no micromanagement, we all know what is expected of us and we are committed to delivering as individuals and as a team.

Taylor Root has a very strong reputation within this area and therefore whilst you will be expected to generate new business, there is a very strong emphasis on relationship management rather than cold calling new clients.
