Counsel Connect

LegalConnect

At LegalConnect, we are trusted experts in the Western Australian legal market. With decades of combined experience and strong relationships across the profession, we have built a reputation for connecting organisations with exceptional legal talent. Our clients — from privately owned and listed companies to leading law firms — rely on us to deliver the right people, at the right time.

We understand that every business faces different challenges. Sometimes you need a permanent hire to strengthen your legal team for the long term; other times, a short-term secondment lawyer is the most efficient solution to manage peaks in workload, parental leave cover, or specialist project needs. Our flexible model allows us to provide both, giving clients the confidence that their legal requirements will be met seamlessly.

Our seconded professionals integrate effortlessly into your team, bringing commercial acumen, technical expertise, and the ability to add value from day one. For permanent placements, we leverage our unrivalled local network and in-depth market knowledge to secure high-calibre lawyers who are not only skilled but also aligned with your organisation’s culture and strategic goals.

  • Secondments
  • Permanent Recruitment
  • GC and Law Firm Advisory

We provide highly skilled lawyers and legal professionals on a flexible, contract basis to help cover project surges, leave or gaps in expertise. Our seconded professionals integrate seamlessly into your team with minimal ramp-up time. Ideal for parental leave cover, large transactions and temporary internal resource or skills shortages.

When to use us:

  • For peaks in workload
  • To cover an extended leave period of a member of your team
  • Parental leave cover
  • Fill a gap whilst you recruit more permanently
  • When you are lacking a specialist skill for an interim project

Finding the right long-term fit is critical. Our recruitment service goes beyond resumes – we get to know your legal team and culture to deliver candidates who align with your values, needs, and goals.
