Legal support built for recruitment agencies.

Recruitment businesses sign a high volume of contracts, and rarely on their own terms. Client terms of business, candidate agreements, supplier and umbrella company contracts, and referral agreements all tend to arrive already drafted by someone else, which means your negotiating position starts from someone else's paperwork rather than your own.

Aligning your position against these third-party contracts, without slowing down a placement or damaging the client relationship, is the core challenge. Recruitment moves fast: a candidate needs to start, a client needs terms agreed, and a slow legal process costs fees and goodwill. That means turnaround speed matters as much as the quality of the review itself.

At the same time, senior recruitment leaders are often the ones stuck reviewing terms of business personally, because nobody else in the business has the experience to do it safely. That pulls them away from winning new business and managing key accounts, which is exactly the work that grows the company.

We support recruitment businesses by reviewing and negotiating client and supplier contracts quickly, aligning terms to your standard position wherever possible, and holding the line on the clauses that matter, such as liability caps, rebate periods and payment terms. That frees senior executives to focus on relationships and growth, while keeping the upper hand in negotiations rather than accepting whatever the other side proposes. As with every sector we support, we also build the fallback positions and playbooks that let your consultants negotiate confidently themselves.
