Precedent Consulting is a specialist business providing careers advice to lawyers and recruitment services to law firms and other businesses.
Unlike many of our competitors, rather than being a sales based organisation we are a true consultancy offering impartial advice tailored to the needs of the individual or employer.
Our aim is to build long-term relationships with the best lawyers, law firms and companies acting as an honest broker using our extensive knowledge of the legal market to achieve the best results for those we advise.
We work with lawyers at all levels including newly qualifieds, assistants, associates and partners and employers including law firms, commerce and industry and the public sector. We have particular experience of partner lateral hires and helping experienced lawyers achieve their first partnership role.
As a subsidiary of award winning global search & selection firm Ellis Fairbank we also offer a range of value added services including benchmarking, referencing, stress management, culture audits, business perception studies and psychometric profiling together with M&A and corporate finance advice.
Our business is founded on the following principles:
- Knowledge based - our advice is based on extensive knowledge of the legal sector and of the recruitment process. All of our consultants are experts in their field and we continually work to enhance our understanding of the markets we serve. This means you can be confident that the advice we give is accurate and appropriate for you.
- Professional ethics - Our reputation is our most valuable asset and we will not jeopardise it for short term profit. Often the right outcome for you will not make money for us and we are comfortable with this, as by giving the right advice we enhance our business proposition in the long-term. You can rest assured that we will give you the advice that is right for you, not what is expedient for us.
- Long-term relationships - Whilst we have a strong focus on the job in hand, we want to work with you over the long-term, assisting you at the key stages in your career and as your business develops and grows.
We look forward to working with you.
