About Us


Independence

Douglas Scott Legal Recruitment is an independently owned recruitment business that services Private Practice, In House and Contract resourcing needs across all Legal sectors for any size of law firm throughout the UK. Decidedly entrepreneurial we are always striving for that competitive advantage, something that will encourage candidates and clients to contact us first with their recruitment matters.

Legal Recruitment Experts

Legal is a fantastic market to be in, it is what we specialise in, nothing else floats our boat. On a day to basis we are in touch with the talent, professionals, specialists in their field, movers and shakers, decision makers, entrepreneurs and business leaders that shape the legal services market. They demand the highest quality service and for us that is where the bar is.

By using a legal recruitment expert employers can be assured that they are appointing the best person for the job. Think general builder or experienced plumber for the leaking pipe. In these circumstances it pays to employ someone who is going to get it right first time not learning on the job, someone who can provide a long term fix and deliver the best value for money. At Douglas Scott Legal Recruitment we take pride in doing the best job possible, our consultants are friendly, sincere and genuinely happy to be of help. It is how we like to do business and we think you will notice the difference.

Our Culture

In a nutshell...

We love legal recruitment. Our customers are king and queen. We are legal recruitment experts. We want to be the best without bashing the rest. Get it right first time. Listen. Get out what you put in. Be legal, be ethical. Innovate. Constantly improve. Work and play. Spot talent. Develop talent. Respect tradition, shape the future. Think long term relationships. Reward hard work. Be friendly and work together. Do more better.

Where Are We Now?

Today we see ourselves as one of the UK's leading legal recruitment consultancies. We are not the longest established or the new kids on the block but we have a track record that stands up to scrutiny, having placed at all levels in all the major cities in England and Wales.  From offices in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Birmingham we work hard to make the recruitment process a pleasure rather than a pain. The team pride themselves on offering a service that is not only honest and effective but also fast and efficient. We consider ourselves able to work on the most demanding of briefs and enjoy getting things right first time.

As for the rest of the story... we could tell you about the many years combined legal sector experience our team has... that our consultants focus on a wide range of specialist legal disciplines. We could wax lyrical about our hard-earned reputation for customer service excellence... or highlight our unparalleled understanding of the diverse legal marketplace... or that we consistently find the right people for our clients and the right roles for our candidates - at every level, both in-house and for private practice.

But the only thing that really matters is what we can do for you.
