What do you do in your organisation to Teflon-coat your people for when the headhunters come hunting? It’s surprisingly straightforward. Treat them well, respect the fullness of their lives and support their growth. People stay where they’re valued, included and invested in. The grass is only greener if you neglect your lawn. Make your organisation a place filled with people who say ‘no!’ 🖐️ to Steven Fulop! #HumanResources #People&Culture #Leadership #Retention

Is recruitment "by far the biggest obstacle" to law firm growth? 🤔 In many chats with law firms, the concern around recruitment keeps popping up. Is it really the biggest hurdle to growth? Despite a rise in law graduates, many firms are still struggling to find the right talent at the right PQE. Recruiting isn't just about filling vacancies; it's about finding the right match - someone who fits the firm's culture and meets client expectations. 60% of new candidates at Thornton Legal receive a job offer within 28 days, but the journey to find them is far from simple. At Thornton Legal, we've realised that building strong, honest relationships is key. With our high retention and offer acceptance rates, we're proud to consult and support our partners. 📈 The UK legal scene is competitive, and talent retention is a crucial part of this puzzle. 92% of candidates we place are still with the same firm after 12 months, a testament to our thorough process and commitment to quality. What do you think? Is recruitment the main barrier to growth for law firms?

Why the Christmas break is the ideal time to explore legal opportunities 🎄 🎅 🎄 Slower Work Period: Lawyers have more time to reflect on their career goals, update resumes, and network without the usual pressures of a hectic workload. 🎄 Year-End Hiring: Firms often have hiring budgets that need to be spent before the end of the year. This makes December an active hiring period as firms finalize their staffing needs for the upcoming year. 🎄 Strategic Start Dates: By securing a new position in December, a lawyer can negotiate to start in January. This aligns with the new fiscal year and provides a fresh start after the holiday break. 🎄 Bonuses and Negotiation Leverage Many lawyers wait until after receiving year-end bonuses to transition, but starting the job search in December gives candidates an edge. Employers know candidates might be willing to negotiate to avoid waiting until January, which could lead to more favorable offers. 🎄 Alignment with New Year Goals: Starting a new job at the beginning of the year aligns with personal and professional resolutions. It’s a symbolic and motivational way to kickstart a new chapter in one’s career. By leveraging these factors, lawyers can take advantage of the holiday season to set themselves up for career growth in the new year. At Eos Adonis we specialise in connecting top legal talent in both the London and Germany market. Please do get in touch if you would like to have a short discussion regarding your best options.

Handling High-Stress Situations in Legal Practice💼 Stress is part and parcel of the legal profession. Technically complex cases, tight deadlines, and high client expectations can all add up. But it's essential to manage stress effectively to ensure both personal well-being and professional success. One effective technique is to prioritise tasks. ✅ Break down larger projects into manageable steps, setting achievable daily goals. Meditation and mindfulness practices can also make a huge difference. Don't forget the importance of support networks. 🗣️ Regularly engaging with colleagues or mentors can provide both emotional support and practical advice. Physical activity, whether it's a walk on your lunch or a session at the gym, can also be a great stress reliever. Regular exercise releases endorphins which are natural stress fighters. Let's hear your strategies! Comment below on how you tackle stress in your legal practice.
