Our experience positions us as a leader in helping clients identify the right legal talent for their corporate teams, from Partners who drive high value transactions to Associates skilled in M&A, governance, commercial contracts, and financing work.
When the market shifted in recent years, the corporate landscape evolved just as quickly. Traditional transactional work now sits alongside increasingly complex financing structures, heightened regulatory expectations, cross border considerations, and greater demand for strategic, commercially driven legal support.
The most forward-thinking businesses are ensuring they have the legal talent in place to navigate these challenges – professionals who can manage high value corporate transactions, support rapid growth initiatives, advise on governance and compliance, and mitigate risk in an ever changing market.
At The People Of, we help leading firms and organisations secure outstanding corporate legal talent, from Big Law Firms, Regional firms to high growth companies, international corporates, private equity firms, investment groups, and fast scaling startups.
We match our clients with lawyers who bring the experience, commercial awareness, and technical expertise needed to support M&A, corporate governance, joint ventures, commercial contracting, venture financing, restructurings, and broader strategic transactions – all while managing timelines, stakeholder demands, and complex deal structures.

Are you looking for the right corporate lawyer to support your company’s transactions, strategic initiatives, or ongoing governance and commercial needs?

Why Choose The People Of?
As we’ve already mentioned, honesty and transparency are core values at The People Of. As a bespoke recruitment partner, we focus on doing what is right for our clients rather than chasing quarterly targets or volume driven placements.
Working with some recruiters can feel transactional – like you are just another name on a spreadsheet, being pushed toward roles that don’t align with your goals or being presented with candidates who simply don’t meet the standard.
At The People Of, we take a different approach. We genuinely care about the lawyers, firms, and businesses we support, and we invest the time to understand what success means for each of them.
There is a reason so many of the lawyers we place return as clients later in their careers.
We have helped senior corporate legal professionals move into impactful roles across leading firms, financial institutions, private equity groups, high growth companies, and multinational corporates – supporting them as they take the next step in their professional journey.
