Our core values drive everything we do...
Trust is the key quality that defines us. It’s what we stand for and what our customers can expect from us.
Our story and values
RedLaw was set up in 2009 with the aim of doing things differently. What was missing from the industry was a proactive consultancy offering a bespoke service going beyond the existing recruitment models.
Our insight and knowledge ensure lawyers and legal professionals find the best career opportunities, and law firms achieve their strategic goals. The groundbreaking introductions RedLaw makes play a vital role in our clients’ growth, enabling law firms to strategically change their businesses. They build teams and practices, enter new sectors and extend their reputation in their existing fields.
The professionals we place make a longstanding contribution to the success of the firms they go to, and in turn make a lasting impact on the wider legal sector. Our moves are regularly reported in the legal and financial press.
Since RedLaw began, we have built a reputation as a leading independent recruitment consultancy meeting the needs of clients in the UK, US and internationally. By maintaining a boutique approach, our skills, knowledge, expertise and experience combine with the flexibility that enables us to adapt to each client’s individual needs. This is why lawyers and law firms trust RedLaw – we offer a truly personal and results-driven service with no boundaries restricting our capabilities.

Taking responsibility in the community
Helping others is at the heart of our business. We are proud to have established a business with a culture which cares about community, social enterprise and giving back to the wider world.
We continue to raise money year on year through fundraisers, such as the London to Brighton bike ride, a sky dive and Tottenham Hotspur's Dare Sky walk which have enabled us to fund five scholarships for Kenyan secondary school children through the Red Rubber Ball Foundation. This has such transformative power on these children and changes their lives and those of their families for ever.
In partnership with Ecologi, our RedLaw forest has funded the planting of over 1,000 trees across 57 projects. Over 400 of our trees have been planted on a Mangrove site in Madagascar. They have employed local people in impoverished nearby villages as agents to grow, plant and guard to maturity these trees. We purchase trees annually, for each placement, for every person attending our events and webinars, as gifts.
We support a homeless charity, Providence Row, with CV/interview workshops for their homeless clients to help get them ready for the world of work.
We also fundraise for charitable organisations linked to the legal industry and beyond. Examples; Great Legal Walk and Great Legal Bake for the London Legal Support Trust charity.
