FWA In-house™
In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of lawyers pursuing in-house roles. This is true for people at all levels and stages of their career.
There has also been a greater demand in the legal recruitment market for lawyers looking to make the move in-house.
The in-house sector is diverse and presents a wide range of industry-specific recruitment needs. At FWA, we have the expertise and experience to help you find your perfect in-house role.
At FWA, we have developed our own unique Interim Solutions™ Division. This innovative addition to our service allows us to utilise our years of experience and considerable knowledge of the legal recruitment market to provide Interim Solutions to short-term recruitment and project needs of our clients.
This approach is based on maximising cost-effectiveness and precision, ensuring we match you with the candidates whose skills and experiences align best with your company culture and are best suited to meet your goals as a business.
Interim roles are not restricted to private practice, and are just as common in in-house roles and in the public sector.
In the same way, there are no restrictions as to practice areas or levels of seniority. Lawyers at all levels and across all practice areas may be of relevance, depending on the needs of the firm or organisation at the time in question.
Sometimes seen as a luxury resource in any firm, our FWA PSL™ division was set up in 2000 in recognition that capture, control and dissemination of a law firm’s – ‘know-how’ is key to its success.
And so, the role of the professional support lawyer or ‘PSL’ – qualified lawyers who do non-fee earning work in support of a particular team’s fee-earners – has evolved as a vital resource.
Although FWA is based in Scotland, we also operate in the English and overseas legal recruitment markets – assisting both lawyers who wish to return to Scotland from further afield and those who are interested in re-locating in the UK or abroad.
If you are contemplating moving to or returning to Scotland and would to learn more about how relocating to Scotland could enhance your career or quality of life, click here to visit our Working in Scotland page.
