Who We Are

HIA Legal is a search and market intelligence firm for lawyers. Founded in 2016, we focus on London, New York and the other principal US markets.
 
We advise leading firms and in-house teams on partner, associate and counsel appointments and on where demand, timing and movement sit across those markets. That work is supported by LexQuest.ai, our proprietary market intelligence and candidate relationship platform. It gives us a live view of lawyer movement across the Am Law 200, Magic Circle and other top-tier firms, and a sharper read on demand and timing.
 
We combine that insight with a discreet, high-trust process: helping clients identify, attract and retain high-calibre legal talent, and helping candidates consider a wide range of opportunities – many of them unadvertised, with clear, confidential advice and no pressure to move.
