Leading the way in legal recruitment

About Us

Origin Legal

recognised as one of the UK's leading providers of legal jobs at all levels for lawyers, legal executives, solicitors and paralegals.

Origin Legal is a specialist legal recruitment company launched in January 2005 by a management team that first came together in 1996. The company’s primary goal is to deliver the highest quality of service and through successful legal recruiting develop and maintain long term client relationships with firms throughout the UK and internationally.

The legal recruitment team at Origin have their roots in search or headhunting and offer a reliable and efficient solution to legal recruitment through the provision of a fully integrated service combining the benefits of both a proactive approach and more traditional methods such as client advertising.

The company has grown steadily since its launch by recruiting fully experienced legal recruitment consultants to offer comprehensive recruitment services to National and International Law firms and In House legal teams for roles ranging from temporary and contract Paralegal to Partner and Senior Counsel and including all legal HR functions and Support Services.

Contingency Based Database Search

This service is exactly as described. We have been handling and advertising over 75 vacancies a month since launching in 2005 and accordingly have built up a considerable database mapping lawyers and their skill sets throughout the UK and internationally. An introduction fee is contingent on a completed recruitment assignment when the successful candidate starts. This service can often provide a rapid result to an immediate problem.
