For a variety of different reasons, there has in recent years been a significant increase in the number of lawyers, at all levels and stages in their careers, keen to pursue in-house roles.
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.
Our Interim Solutions™ Division has created an opportunity for us at FWA to use our years of experience, as well as our considerable knowledge of the legal recruitment market and our client relationships, to present to our candidates an increasing number of opportunities on a short-term basis. 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, and 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 firms – ‘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.
