Origin Story

Recruiters with
life-changing ideas

After working at a handful of ‘legal recruiting shops’ our founder, Rohan was disillusioned with the industry.

Traditional legal recruiters prioritise the interests of law firms over the interests of lawyers.

Although, this appears logical (law firms are the ones who pay our fees after all), when you dig deeper, this doesn’t work for lawyers and law firms.

Placing in lawyers into firms, that do not align with their goals, leads to unhappy lawyers. Unhappy lawyers leave firms. Replacing lawyer’s costs time and money, leading to unhappy law firms. Vicious cycle.

Something had to change… and this is where Law Ladder was born.

Law Ladder is a legal search firm, that puts the needs of lawyers at the centre of everything we do.

We are not your typical legal recruiters. We do not “place” lawyers, and we most definitely do not “hunt heads”. What we do is much simpler.

We work with lawyers over the long term, to help them find their dream role. This maximises the happiness of lawyers, which maximises the happiness of law firms. Simple.

We like simple.

We helped Marianne join Farrer & Co Marianne Kemp / Associate – Employment

We helped Rory join Addleshaw Goddard Rory White-Andrews / Senior Associate – Restructuring

"Rohan helped to facilitate my move from Allen & Overy to the Addleshaw Goddard restructuring team and was absolutely fantastic!

I would highly recommend Rohan to anyone that is looking to move law firms!"

We helped Paige join Stephenson Harwood Paige Achilles / Associate – Stephenson Harwood

"Rohan was fantastic in liaising with the various firms I applied to and interviewed with. He seamlessly arranged interviews for times that suited me, and also listened to my concerns and thoughts when deciding where I wanted to continue my career. He was very helpful in reviewing my CV and providing me with advice and support through the interview process. 
I was able to lean on Rohan for his specific knowledge when considering the offers I had on the table, and helped me make my decision in moving to Stephenson Harwood."

We helped Rhiannon join Osborne Clarke Rhiannon Gilling / Associate – Commercial

"Gabriel was very helpful throughout the recruitment process, taking time at the beginning to understand my background and the type of role I was looking for and then providing support throughout and particularly at interview stage.
