How we work
We work exclusively with you to ensure the best possible service levels. We value collaboration, transparency, and above all honesty in our interactions with you.
We provide assistance with your business plan which will form the basis of a management plan, guide you through the interview process, and ensure you are properly prepared every step of the way. We are accountable and will provide you with timely responses on request. We will guide you through the resignation process and we have a network of legal advisors we can refer when negotiating your exit strategy. Most importantly we see that beyond the placement stage we continue to add value by making sure that your career objectives are being met, and provide you with insights, opportunities for career development, market information, network and referrals. That is why many of the senior lawyers we work with end up becoming our clients.
Craig provided a great deal of support in my recent move between firms. He took the time to get to know me and my professional history and was always available for a chat. I also thought Craig gave an honest opinion about the quality of the offer I was presented with. He cares about ensuring the right fit for your career.

Leaving a law firm you have been with for many years is a stressful experience, however Burrows Legal was outstanding through the entire process. Craig took the time during our first meeting to learn about me – my personality, background, family and career goals – and then found the opportunity to match. He also provided invaluable insights as he helped me transition into a new role.

What You Can Expect
As trusted advisors all discussions are treated in the strictest of confidence. Because we care about long-term relationships, we identify your needs first and then suggest strategic options rather than present you with a list of positions.
At our initial meeting you can expect a strategic discussion about your career direction, a realistic discussion about financial expectations, and a positive evaluation of how a potential move will fit with your overall strategy. It’s about identifying the challenges where you are and providing solutions which will fit within your overall career strategy, as well as appreciating your timing. It’s also about knowing which clients, and panel arrangements will work with the career options. We impart knowledge and can give you insights into firms and organisations that add value before you reach the interview stage.
