Delivering Legal Talent With Discretion

Hiring the right lawyer changes more than just the team composition, it represents your firm and values, contributes to client trust, expedites deal execution, and impacts firm growth. Finding that lawyer is rarely good fortune; it takes discipline, technical knowledge, and hard work.

At Trostan Dene, We have over a decade of industry experience, focusing on connecting top legal talent with leading law firms and in-house teams across London, the UK and internationally.

We’ve built our reputation on trust, discretion, and a genuine understanding of the legal landscape which has culminated in over 70 placements across private practice and in-house across the globe.

Let’s talk

We believe the best recruitment partners reflect the specialisms of the clients they support. That’s why we focus on core transactional practice areas, with a particular strength in private equity-driven practice groups. In a talent-short market, our refined focus allows us to go deeper – building stronger networks, uncovering harder-to-reach talent, and delivering precisely when it matters most.
