About

Ten-Percent.co.uk Limited was formed at the beginning of 2000 by 3 lawyers and 1 doctor. It is a legal recruitment consultancy, concentrating on the recruitment of solicitors. One of the directors had been through the recruitment process, and discovered that there was a gap in the market for an online legal recruitment company operating on the web, offering fast, hassle-free service for both candidates and clients. Ten-Percent Legal Recruitment was formed, and the website set up.

The directors also decided to donate 10% of our annual profits to charity, with a review after 5 years. For the first year of trading (2000-2001) we donated £500 to Rainbows, a children's hospice in Leicestershire. We also raised £200 for Rainbows by completing a sponsored walk in June 2000. Since then we have gone on to donate over £30,000 via the Ten-Percent Foundation, and we hope to increase this year on year as we expand our legal recruitment operations.

In 2002 we established a charitable trust called the Ten-Percent Foundation. All charitable donations will be made through this in future. For further information about our charitable donations you can visit the Ten-Percent Foundation website. We get over 60,000 hits per month from lawyers and law students. Our costs are low, as we advertise mainly on the internet, on search engines and recruitment sites. We get a significant proportion of our work through personal recommendations from candidates we have already assisted.

The company also owns the Jonathan Fagan Legal Recruitment website, Crime Solicitor Recruitment - specialising in crime solicitors, ChanceryLane.co.uk, an independent legal job board for lawyers and solicitors at all levels, www.lawyer-recruitment.co.uk and another 5 regional sites. We also have a growing niche in Independent Financial Adviser Recruitment.

How does it work?

We are already aware of a lot of vacancies and seek out new positions all the time. When you register with us, we let the firms in the area you seek employment know that we have a candidate looking for a particular type of work, and give them a reference number. If interested, they contact us, and we let you know the firm's details. If you are interested, we contact the firm and arrange an interview for you, letting the firm know your name at that point.

We do not send out personal details, and never identify you prior to you giving us consent to reveal your name to firms. We are particularly successful in the regions, but regularly place candidates in the City and in Greater London. Our service is different to the normal recruitment consultancy. We do not pressure you into accepting positions or interviews, but instead make you aware of the opportunity to speak to interested firms.

We cover the following fields of law:

ADR/CDR Agricultural Asset Finance Aviation Law Banking Capital Markets Charity Law Child Care Civil Litigation Clinical Negligence Commercial Contracts Commercial Litigation Commercial Property Company/Commercial Compliance Construction Consumer Law Conveyancing/Residential Corporate Corporate Crime Corporate Finance Corporate Recovery Corporate Restructuring Corporate Tax Crime Debt Recovery Derivatives Finance e-Commerce EC Law Education Law Employee Benefits Employment Energy Enfranchisement Enterprise & Technology Environment EU Competition Family/Matrimonial Financial Services Fraud Funds Health & Safety Healthcare Housing Human Rights Immigration Information Technology Insolvency Insurance Intellectual Property International Law Landlord & Tenant Law Costs Draftsmen Law Costs Draftsperson Libel & Defamation Liquor Licensing Media/Entertainment Mental Health Mergers & Acquisitions Mortgage Repossession New Media  Patents Pensions Personal Injury PFI Projects Planning Plot Sales Prison Law Private Client Private Equity Probate (Contentious) Procurement Professional Negligence Project Finance Property Litigation Public Sector Real Estate Regulatory Remortgaging Reparation Securities Share Schemes Shipping Law Sports Sports Law Taxation Telecoms Trademarks Transport Travel & Tourism Trusts & Tax Welfare Benefits Wills & Probate

We do not have a quota of CV's to send out, there are no targets for us to reach, we do not employ salespeople to "sell" candidates, and we are pleased for you regardless of how you obtain work (ie with or without our services).

We hope that you have found our service useful. If you have any comments, positive or negative, please email us - you can find the link to do this on our contact page.
