For Clients
The Very Best People for Your Firm.
We identify exceptional legal professionals who will make a meaningful difference to your business .
Why Choose Ogilvie & Davies?
Over many years in legal recruitment, I have developed an extensive network of partners, directors, senior associates and leading lawyers across the profession. These are relationships built through discretion, trust and an understanding of the market. As a result, when I approach someone about an opportunity, they are prepared to listen — even when they are not actively considering a move.
I also maintain an established network of experienced lawyers who remain open to a confidential conversation when an opportunity of genuine quality arises. This gives clients access not only to lawyers who are actively available, but to a much broader pool of proven talent that conventional recruitment methods may never reach.
Whether you are looking to strengthen a practice through a lateral partner appointment, identify an exceptional senior lawyer or build a team around a particular area of expertise, my approach remains straightforward: combine market knowledge, long-standing relationships and a discreet, highly personal approach to identify the right individual.
Private Practice
Private Practice
At Ogilvie & Davies, we provide a discreet, considered approach to recruiting exceptional legal talent for private practice. Drawing on an extensive network of high-calibre lawyers across the profession, we identify and introduce individuals whose expertise, ambitions and experience align closely with the needs and culture of each firm.
Our approach is deliberately personal and consultative. We work closely with both clients and candidates to understand the wider context behind every appointment, from the demands of a particular practice and the aspirations of a growing team to the long-term ambitions of an individual lawyer. Whether supporting an emerging talent or a highly experienced practitioner, our focus is always on creating appointments that deliver lasting value.
Since 1993, we have built a reputation for supporting law firms throughout the UK and beyond, with expertise spanning a broad range of private practice disciplines, including property, litigation, intellectual property, finance, planning, data privacy and many other specialist areas.
Our knowledge of the legal market, combined with the depth of our relationships, enables us to provide a level of insight and access that goes well beyond traditional recruitment.
In-House
In-House
At Ogilvie & Davies, we work with organisations seeking outstanding legal professionals to operate at the heart of their business. Our in-house practice focuses on the appointment of Legal Counsel, General Counsel and senior legal specialists, connecting organisations with individuals whose legal expertise is matched by commercial judgement, leadership and an understanding of the wider business.
The role of an in-house lawyer extends far beyond technical legal advice. As trusted advisers to senior leadership, they are often closely involved in strategy, risk, governance, transactions and significant commercial decisions. Consequently, we look beyond a candidate's qualifications and track record to understand how they influence, communicate and operate within an organisation.
Our network encompasses both established in-house practitioners and high-calibre lawyers considering a move from private practice. This enables us to provide access to talent across a broad spectrum of industries and at every level of seniority, including individuals who may not be actively considering a move.
Whether you are an established international business, a growing enterprise, or entering a new market, we provide a discreet and highly considered search process designed to identify legal professionals capable of making a meaningful contribution to your organisation's long-term success.
