PARTNER REPRESENTATION
OUR APPROACH
Choosing the right search firm to represent you and your interests when considering a career defining move is a crucial first step in the process. As experienced consultants we add value at every stage of the process, from advising you on where your current remuneration package sits within the market, through to comprehensively profiling the options available to you (both active and potential).
Veritas will independently advise you on the benefits (and potential drawbacks) of each of the options available to you
before taking the stress out of your search by managing the interview process and contractual negotiation, to secure you the very best package .
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
At Veritas, our team of consultants use their extensive combined knowledge and experience in helping senior individuals make lateral moves at Partner or Partner-designate level across London and the South East, as well as those looking to move internationally. Our client base is extensive, and built upon established relationships with many of the leading US, International and City law firms in London, as well as West-End boutiques and a range of the leading firms in key regional hubs across the South East. We also offer an extensive range of In-House opportunities.
​
Our innovative SOCIUS program has been developed in association with top International law firms and senior Magic Circle lawyers to offer the very best service proposition to senior lawyers considering either a lateral move in Private Practice, or an In-House move.
​
Our international relocation programme supports Partners with relocation to London from various jurisdictions, including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the United States.
WORKFLOW
INITIAL CONSULTATION
We schedule a confidential 1-1 consultation with one of our experienced consultants, held face-to-face wherever possible, to gain an in-depth understanding of your current practice, career aspirations (both short and long-term) and specific preferences. At this stage, Veritas is able to provide clear and consultative market information to help you make a decision.
MARKET ANALYSIS
Veritas utilises our In-House research function and extensive list of industry contacts to map out a full list of potential opportunities, across either the Private Practice or In-House market. We detail both active requirements and potential lateral growth opportunities to ensure you are provided with a comprehensive view of the potential options.
INTRODUCTION
Having identified an appropriate shortlist of potential opportunities, we work closely with you to develop a clear and well-informed business plan. We then utilise our extensive network of contacts to make the appropriate introductions direct to the key stakeholders.
PROCESS MANAGEMENT
We act as trusted advisors throughout every stage of the recruitment process, helping ensure that you have the relevant information and preparation ahead of each interview and utilising our network to ensure you have all the information available to you to make an informed decision about the next step in your career.
OFFER MANAGEMENT & SUPPORT
Our experience and market knowledge mean we are well positioned to manage contract and remuneration negotiations, as well as sensitive discussions regarding your longer-term progression within the target firm. We assist with issues around exit, and continue to act in an advisory role once you have joined the firm, on hand in order to ensure a smooth transition.
