About us & why us

Napier Scott Legal Search is a legal search firm focusing on the identification and subsequent successful placement of partners and senior in-house counsel across multiple practice disciplines, both on a domestic and international basis.

• Our consultants combine over 40 years of experience in the search industry and a track record of advising and placing senior lawyers into law firms and investment banks, both in the UK and globally.
• Our research capability and database can provide you with sensitive market intelligence beyond the reach of the public domain.
• Our global network will allow you unparalleled access to the leading talent in all the main jurisdictions.
• We work strategically with law firms, advising on the search process for individual and team hires (and merger potential) both domestically and internationally.
• We have a track record of working with organisations as diverse as multi-national law firms, niche practices, global investment banks and smaller financial institutions.
• Discretion is vital in the ultra-competitive 21st century business environment – we only work on the instruction of our client and do so ‘under the radar’, ensuring you are represented to the market in a discrete fashion.
• We are client driven. Our experience allows us to advise our clients and tailor our product to your needs and the demands of  any given requirement.
• Our retainer fee is fully refundable should we not achieve agreed parameters in a pre-agreed timeframe; hence any unreasonable financial risk to our client is removed. We have never been obliged to refund a retainer fee.
• Our reputation in the market is formidable. We deliver a professional, bespoke service and, most important of all, successfully complete our searches.
