Search firm Major, Lindsey & Africa (MLA) has announced that it has significantly expanded its Partner Practice Group in London, making it the largest law firm partner recruiting team in the UK. Five consultants, specialising in partner level searches for law firms globally, are joining from legal search boutique LTN & Partners.
This strategic investment into the London partner market will provide partners and law firms with an enhancement of the world class service for which MLA is renowned. With a deep understanding of the business of law – having built out firms as recruiters, lawyers and legal business support professionals – this combination of teams creates the most impactful and powerful law firm partner recruiting team in London.
The expanded Partner Practice Group brings a wealth of experience across the UK and key European markets, complementing the launch of MLA’s Dublin office earlier this year. Beyond Europe, the new team has a strong track record working in the US legal sector, and the expanded team will collaborate closely with MLA’s global network of offices, especially in the US.
This addition will also further bolster MLA’s expertise in priority practice areas including financial services, private equity, disputes, restructuring, and capital markets.
“LTN & Partners have proven themselves to be an exceptional organisation and we are excited to welcome them to our firm,” said Brent Harris, Vice President at MLA. “The team’s relationships with top firms and expertise working on high-level placements and advising law firms across the UK, Europe, and beyond, will further expand our global reach and add significant value for our clients and candidates.”
Maurice Allen, Managing Director, added: “LTN brought a fresh approach to legal recruitment, advising both law firms and candidates with our deep market knowledge allied to first class recruiting capabilities. MLA is an elite organisation and by combining forces we can take our business to the next level and provide our clients and candidates with a unique global reach.”
