Why Eastbridge Legal: Discover Our Advantage
As former attorneys, we offer a unique pipeline of talent
In today's highly competitive job market, it pays to partner with a recruiter who has a distinct advantage. Drawing on our experience as former practicing attorneys, we provide exclusive access to law firm alumni contacts, personal networks, and high-caliber lawyers open to new opportunities but not actively exploring other channels.
We've probably already worked with your firm, in the UK or elsewhere, with great results
We rebranded in 2024, bringing with us over 15 years of seasoned experience in partner and associate placements with Global 100 firms and other high-caliber law firms across international jurisdictions.
Our incentives are aligned
We provide both contingent and retained services. Specifically, in retained searches, we prioritize fair fee agreements, ensuring our recruiters stay deeply invested – a commitment often lacking when others charge exorbitant fees just to compile a candidate list. We're different; we have skin in the game and we're partners in your success.
Our track record speaks volumes
We've been pivotal in high stakes placements, including managing partner searches, international office openings and hiring associates of the highest caliber. Even fellow recruiters at a much larger, publicly traded company have reached out to us for regional assistance in a challenging cross-border search.
Our impact surpasses our size
We're not the largest recruiter - nor do we aim to be . We merge the impact of a larger agency with the bespoke, personal touch of a boutique consultancy. We can tell you how many times we've heard something like: "I don't normally reply to recruiters, but your approach caught my attention" or just "you're different." These are the candidates you'll meet through working with us.
International recruitment
We have deep experience in associate and partner recruitment into Japan, China & Hong Kong, Singapore, and other international hubs, reflecting our origins as a cross-border UK/US to Asia recruitment specialist. Rest assured, your international placements are in safe hands with us.
Our Services
We connect firms with top talent – associates, partners, groups; your success, our expertise
Associate Recruitment
We've placed associates with Magic Circle, Wall Street, Global 100 and other leading firms of all shapes and sizes. For your recruitment needs in the UK, Japan, China, Singapore and the US, we offer an extensive network, including candidates open to moves but not actively looking. We won't inundate you with CVs. Rather, we'll find the candidates who fit like a glove.
Partner Recruitment
We've been key players in global partner transitions, guiding partners, managing partners, and other senior candidates to successful elevations. As former practicing attorneys with experience on several continents, our unique and geographically diverse network and talent pipeline set us apart.
Other Services
We provide targeted outreach services for specific senior associate and partner candidates you may be interested in connecting with. Additionally, we offer candidate mapping and strategy sessions for senior hires in local or international markets. If there's anything else you need, please don't hesitate to reach out and ask.
