Partner Moves
Confidentiality
Let's begin by building
some trust. By clicking on this page you have declared an interest
in our Partner Service. A job advert may have caught your eye or a
seed may have been planted in some other manner. Before any further
progress is made we think it is important that you know we
understand the absolute need to protect your current postion.
The right option may not be out there and a move may not
materialise, it is critical that confidentiality is maintained
from your initial point of contact. All the processes we have in
place are watertight, information regarding your move
is tightly controlled from day one when a single
senior consultant becomes your connection with Douglas
Scott.
Reasons To
Move
In one of our most successful Partner moves to date we
facilitated the lateral move of a high profile London based Partner
into a Top 100 national law firm. The motivation for her move was
her needing a better platform for her product, in securing her
services the law firm bolted on a new legal product to their
portfolio.
Other reasons for
a move include relocation, desire to work closer to
home to address work/life balance; change of business direction; change
in culture; practice area no longer considered core to the
firm's activities; lack of co-operation or poor cross-selling
culture across the firm; personality clash or political
undercurrents; poor financial situation or feeling you are
keeping the ship afloat; basic economic reasons and/or redundancy,
market forces.
The First
Step
Call us, a telephone
call on a private phone remains a most discreet and
confidential way of communication leaving little audit trail for
any interested parties. Contact us at any of our offices
and ask to be put through to Jon Paul Hanrahan or Kathryn Riley the
senior consultants who manage Partner and Senior Moves at Douglas
Scott Legal Recruitment.
Our Partner
Service
What makes Douglas Scott different from the rest is our day to
day commitment to proactive recruitment activity. We have a broad
client base but understand the importance of not standing still
and so we speak with decision makers and business owners on a
daily basis. We know our market and use this as the foundation for
our Partner Service.
Over the course of several meetings we will help you build a
profile, give your CV a makeover, assist with your business plan,
talk current options and agree on a clear strategy for the
confidential marketing of your profile. Acting on your
instruction we can take a pro-active approach or simply
maintain a watching brief and keep you appraised on potential new
openings in the market.
