Deacon Search Information

Deacon Search is an independent boutique specialising in retained legal search in relation to partner and partner designate appointments. Partners and teams are more mobile than ever before and for well managed firms with a clear strategy, there are unprecedented opportunities to recruit senior talent. As recruiters, our challenge is to offer added value to the law firms we advise and to the candidates we represent. At the heart of our ethos is a belief that honesty and transparency are absolutely non-negotiable. Our experience and clear focus on moving partners has given us access to law firm decision-makers and unrivalled market knowledge. All of our consultants are ex lawyers and/or experienced recruiters with nearly 70 years of recruitment experience between us. We recruit for some of the biggest names in the City but are as well known for our value-added services and particularly our unrivalled Market Report which tracks and analyses senior movement across the legal market Success Since our inception in 1999, we have been behind substantial numbers of partner/team moves in London and beyond and several mergers. We have successfully acted for Top-10, US, medium-sized, West End and niche firms and there is no practice area that we have not recruited in. Additionally, we act for individual partners who wish to explore their own options across the market. We offer a consultative and collaborative approach and because our contacts are with law firm decision-makers, we often know of strategic vacancies before other recruiters.
