Executive Legal Services
Quinn Allan’s specialist team hosts some of Australia’s most experienced legal search and selection consultants. We take pride in understanding our clients’ business needs, the precise skills they seek and who would make the best cultural fit for the organisation. We partner closely with our clients and candidates to forge long term, trusting and rewarding relationships.
Private Practice
Our clients are recognised as leading National, International and Regional law firms, and we work exclusively with just a select few to provide them with the widest and deepest access to the majority of the market. We specialise in assisting individual Partners, teams and senior lawyers with their career transition into new firms. Our core markets are corporate & commercial, banking & finance, litigation, employment, real estate, energy & resources and IT/IP/Data. We ensure that each placement supports our client’s strategic goals as well as maintaining their key values and culture.
In-house
Quinn Allan also works with a diverse range of leading banks, financial institutions, listed and private companies, helping them secure unparalleled legal talent. This specialism differs from private practice in that it focuses on understanding the unique requirements of in-house legal teams, where candidates must not only possess great technical expertise but also a strategic, business-oriented mindset to navigate complex corporate environments.

He always sources outstanding candidates,and consistently manages the recruitment process in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Oliver has excellent knowledge of the local legal market, and I consider him to be a true leader in the field of legal recruitment. He makes it a priority to understand his clients’ business imperatives before undertaking new assignments, and really appreciates the importance of culture and fit when sourcing candidates. I recommend Oliver without hesitation, and will happily engage him for my future recruiting needs”.
