Why Bishopsgate?
If done properly, legal recruitment can positively change the lives of lawyers and the fortunes of law firms.
This positive outcome is the most satisfying part of the job for us and so we founded Bishopsgate to enable us to do it better and more often.
Our long-term commitment to our clients and candidates enables us to match the right people to the right teams. This enables firms and lawyers to make long-term commitments to each other.
Our model:
Is established on listening first.
Gives you time to make the right decision to ensure long-term satisfaction for lawyers and law firms alike. Our greatest measure of achievement is when satisfied candidates become clients.
Protects your reputation and saves you time by limiting introductions to those that are truly beneficial. We cut out the noise by delivering fewer, more appropriate introductions.
