Common questions

Do boutique law firms hire junior lawyers?

Many do, usually one or two at a time and often recruited directly rather than through structured campaigns. Others hire only laterals. Either way the approach is the same: research the firm, find the right partner, write to them.

What work do boutique corporate firms actually do?

Mid-market M&A, IPO and listings work, fund formation, shareholder arrangements and regulatory matters. The deals are smaller than the international firms' mandates but the drafting is the same craft, with far more client contact per lawyer.

How is this different from legal directories like Chambers?

Chambers ranks firms for clients buying legal services. This list exists for people researching careers and business development targets: 89 boutique corporate practices with size, focus and verified links in one place, built to be filtered and worked through.
