Business Scenario

National mid-tier law firm facing the sudden departure of its Brisbane-based IT/IP team, including two Partners, a Special Counsel and two Associates, creating immediate capability gaps and significant commercial risk.

Solution

We were engaged urgently and immediately activated our network, supported by a targeted market mapping exercise to identify leading IT/IP talent across Brisbane. 

In the short term, we secured a senior lawyer to join the firm on a contract basis, ensuring continuity and stabilising the team. In parallel, we proactively approached key Partner-level talent in the market, managing a streamlined interview and selection process. 

Within a matter of weeks, we presented a curated shortlist, progressed a preferred candidate through to offer and successfully appointed a Partner, who joined the firm shortly thereafter, bringing a Senior Associate with them.
