Swing into your new career move.

QED Legal was founded in 2012. We are a nationally recognised legal recruitment consultancy that places lawyers at all levels, from Partners and Solicitors to Legal Executives and Paralegals, together with support staff in private practice law firms across the UK ranging from US London and L500 Commercial firms to regional heavyweights and high street practices as well as internationally across a number of jurisdictions.
In addition QED has a strong In House Legal Recruitment offering that places lawyers into legal teams within industry and includes a complete capability to resource for compliance and regulatory professionals as well as Company Secretary specialists.
As of September 2024, QED Legal completed its transition to employee ownership via an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). The company is now 100% owned by current employees.
The main drivers for the transition to becoming employee owned are:
Best option to ensure a sustainable, successful future in which the QED team remain in charge of their own destiny.
Best option to protect the established values, ethos and working culture of QED.
Provides fair value in return for the sale of the business to the current owners – and allows the new Trust to purchase a 100% shareholding on behalf of all employees.
Provide clarity and comfort to colleagues because business will not be sold to a third party.
Can help to secure a strong future performance from the business (including by empowering individuals to take individual responsibility for driving performance).
Supports continuity for the current team and provides opportunity for them to benefit from future growth as owners (without having to take personal risk).
