As with our clients, we recognise that every candidate has different needs and our first job is to find out as much as possible about you and what you are looking for. From there, we advise you on current market trends and expectations, help to ease the interview process and secure you the job that you want.

Diversity & Inclusion.

At Inception Legal we embrace diversity and are deeply committed to inclusion for both ourselves and for our clients. Diversity is a top priority for us and central to the recruitment consultancy that we endeavour to be.

While the advantages of a diverse workforce are increasingly recognised, developing and implementing strategies to build one remains a challenge. At Inception Legal, we support our clients to achieve an inclusive and diverse workforce.

Securing the most talented professionals in the legal sector requires an innovative approach to access more diverse talent pools. That is why diversity and inclusion is one of our strategic business priorities.

Grow

We have a growing talent pipeline which is inclusive of professionals from all backgrounds.

Support

We aim to support our clients increase diversity and inclusion at every step of the recruitment process

Lead

Our flexible working and Family Policy actively promotes a healthy work-life balance and removes a culture of presenteeism

“By recruiting from a range of backgrounds, our clients gain access to a wide variety of viewpoints, experiences and perspectives.”

What Our Customers Think.

I highly recommend Inception Legal as an agency that can fulfil your legal hiring requirements. I have worked closely with Lee now for a number of years and he has always delivered on the brief no matter how challenging it is. Aside from the delivery side they provide excellent customer service with a good honest approach to recruitment and candidate management. Lee is always contactable and stays in touch regularly throughout the process. I much prefer to use Inception legal over a large corporate legal recruitment firm.

Naomi Wilson

Talent Acquisition Manager, Allegis Group

I’ve been working with Lee and his team for a number of years now. They have the knack of finding really great candidates. The personable nature of the team makes the whole recruitment process so smooth.

Partner, Head of Environment/Utilities, National Law Firm

I have worked with Inception Legal (and particularly with Lee) now for many years and would highly recommend them to any legal resourcing professional looking for a consistent, reliable and service-orientated recruitment consultancy. Lee is that unicorn recruiter who always presents candidates that are worthy of serious consideration, and who I know will be the right cultural fit for my organization.
