ThirtySix Search

Description

At ThirtySix Search, we advise on senior legal hiring where the decision carries real consequence, whether within law firms or in-house teams navigating growth, change, or complexity. Our work centres on hires that shape what comes next: senior lawyers stepping into leadership, partners redefining a team or practice, and in-house leaders building capability at critical stages. In these situations, access to candidates is rarely the issue. More often, the challenge is clarity, around the mandate, alignment within leadership, and what success should genuinely look like in the context of the organisation’s wider ambitions. We work closely with leadership teams to bring structure, perspective, and judgement to these decisions, often before a search formally begins. That may involve pressure-testing assumptions, refining a brief, sense-checking timing, or determining whether hiring is the right answer at all. Where it is, we lead discreet, research-led searches for senior legal and leadership appointments. Our work is grounded in a detailed understanding of the market, with close attention paid to cultural fit, commercial intent, and long-term impact, not just immediate need. Alongside search, we support organisations navigating wider periods of growth and change, including succession planning, expansion, and structural considerations. Our approach is judgement-led, insight-driven, and intentionally measured. We won’t tell you what you want to hear. We’ll tell you what we see.
