Sarita Rai

Client Strategy Lead In-house Legal, Commerce & Industry

Sarita Rai is the Client Strategy Lead for Marsden’s London in-house legal recruitment team within the Commerce & Industry sector. She helps businesses hire exceptional General Counsel, Heads of Legal, and senior legal counsel across Technology, Media & Telecommunications, Life Sciences, Transport, and Energy. 

She partners with FTSE 250, Fortune 500, and high-growth SME clients to design and build high-performing in-house legal teams that balance commercial insight, legal expertise, and cultural fit.

Known for her intuitive, relationship-led approach, Sarita quickly connects with both clients and candidates to create long-term, trusted partnerships. Much of her most rewarding work involves collaborating closely with General Counsel to structure and develop in-house functions, ensuring a blend of diverse skill sets and perspectives that align with the business’s goals.

Sarita is passionate about the evolving role of the in-house lawyer and frequently engages in thought leadership, industry events, and conversations around the future of legal teams. She also enjoys coaching lawyers considering a career change, offering a creative and human-centred perspective on career development.

Before moving into recruitment in 2005, Sarita began her career as a lawyer, giving her a first-hand understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing today’s in-house legal professionals. With nearly two decades of experience, she brings insight, empathy, and strategic perspective to every search.
