Elliot Jackson

Director

Elliot has 20 years of experience operating in the legal market, both as a legal recruiter and, previously, a corporate lawyer. His practice focuses on representing leading US and UK law firms in London on their strategic lateral hires of individual partners and teams.

Elliot is passionate about finding lawyers the right opportunities and working closely with his clients to unearth the best legal talent in the market. Having been on the other side of the recruitment process as a lawyer, Elliot has a deep appreciation of adopting a consultative approach to his candidate’s job search. He also works tirelessly to ensure that he finds lawyers that fit his client’s brief and are closely aligned with the culture and ethos of the firm.

Elliot qualified as a corporate lawyer in 2012, spending his first three and a half years in practice at Nabarro before moving to Paul Hastings in 2015. He moved into legal recruitment in 2016 and his experience includes a leadership role with Dartmouth Partners where he launched and built their legal recruitment desk over an eighteen month period.

  • Chris and Elliot were both a pleasure to work with. They handled the whole process from start to finish with care, patience, and delicacy, without which I would undoubtedly not have felt able to explore and ultimately seize the opportunity presented.

  • It was a pleasure working with Elliot on my recent lateral partner move to a leading US firm. As well as having great market connections and knowledge, Elliot really listens and doesn’t waste time presenting unsuitable roles. He communicates very clearly and is evidently well regarded amongst top firms. Elliot was able to identify exactly the right role and then supported me throughout, which made the process as straightforward as possible. I would certainly recommend him to partners looking for a new challenge or to find the right platform for their practice.
