About Us

ThirtySix is a discreet headhunting and strategic search partner to boutique and small law firms.

We work with firms where every hire or every growth move matters. Culture, capability, and client relationships are as important as technical expertise.

As a boutique search practice, we take a partner-led, research-driven approach. Whether the need is a senior hire, a team move, or exploring a merger/acquisition, every search is built around the people involved, not an off-the-shelf process.

We combine deep legal market insight with clear, straightforward communication, building trust on both sides of the table. The result: moves that not only meet the brief but strengthen your firm for the long term.

Why Choose a Boutique like ThirtySix?

We're not recruiters, we're headhunters and strategic search partners, working only with boutique and small law firms where every hire, team move, or growth decision matters.

Our approach is precise, discreet, and intentional. We invest time in understanding your strategy, culture, and ambitions, then build relationships with the people who can help shape your firm's future.

No shortcuts. No templates. Just smart, strategic search.

More Than Just Results

At ThirtySix, a search isn't about filling a vacancy, it's about finding the people and firms who will shape your future.

We work as discreet advisers, combining market intelligence with a deep understanding of your strategy, culture, and client base to identify the right opportunities.

Every search is guided by a clear plan, not urgency. And every move is chosen to make a lasting, measurable impact.

A Personal Touch in Every Step

Working with a boutique partner means working with someone fully invested in your success. Every engagement is led personally, ensuring both clients and candidates or firms experience a search that is thoughtful, transparent, and relationship-driven.

We don't treat people as transactions. We build long-term partnerships that shape futures.

Flexibility Without Compromise

Being boutique gives us agility without ever compromising on quality. Whether you're making a key partner hire, strengthening a team, or exploring a strategic acquisition, we adapt to your firm's needs and deliver with precision.

Our work is structured and methodical, but never rigid.

Direct Access, Real Time Decisions

At ThirtySix, discretion and responsiveness go hand in hand. You will always have direct access to our partners, no layers, no delays. We are available when you need us, giving you the confidence to move quickly when the right opportunity or individual presents itself, without ever compromising on quality or confidentiality.
