Private Practice
Working not only with Australia’s largest and most prestigious law firms but smaller boutique firms and local practices, Hughes-Castell’s private practice team has a strong history of placing lawyers at all levels from newly admitted to salary and equity partners.
Our methodology is simple: we do not headhunt from our clients. Because we do not headhunt, we represent the whole market and not just a narrow section – we believe this methodology secures far greater choice and provides the best results for our candidates.
Within our private practice team we have some of the most experienced and highly regarded legal recruitment consultants in Australia, all of whom are former lawyers themselves. Meaning, we have a depth of understanding from our own experiences.
As a candidate, where possible, you can be assured that you will have one point of contact to guide you through the whole process. This is in contrast to a number of other agencies who frequently have a plethora of different individuals from the same company calling you about their varying roles on the same day. We feel this approach encourages a short-term approach towards you, rather than one consultant being genuinely interested in helping you make career choices.
Our consultants have a long-term interest in forming a strong personal relationship with you. They can afford to help you to take a far more objective view to ensure that you make the best move, not simply the first move.
Whether you are looking to make a move for cultural reasons, salary, more challenging work or more work-life balance, Hughes-Castell are well positioned to help you make the best move. Contact one of our consultants.
