Oyster in 2016
January 2016 marks 7 years since we first launched the business during which time we, along with everyone else, have experienced the depths of the global economic downturn and, for the past couple of years at least, the economic upturn and with it, a more buoyant legal recruitment market. Along the way, we’ve recruited in-house Construction lawyers in Dubai, Corporate Partners in London, Master Mariners in Greece and Property lawyers in East Anglia. We’ve also recruited Heads of HR in Asia, L&D Managers in London and Recruitment Managers in the UAE.
Right now, we’re recruiting for D&I Managers in London, Aviation Liability lawyers in Asia and a senior commercial property lawyer for an in-house role in Manchester.
In the year ahead we hope to capitalise on what we’ve achieved so far and to continue to develop our offering by focusing, in particular, on those areas we know best including Human Resources, Real Estate, Construction & Engineering, Financial Services Regulation and Commercial IP/IT.
Closer to home, we’re also keen to expand Oyster and hope to recruit additional Consultants as the year unfolds.
So whether you’re a lawyer looking to move firms or go in-house, perhaps even relocate abroad or possibly returning home then we’d be delighted to hear from you. Equally, if your an HR professional, Generalist or Specialist, looking for permanent or interim work then please do get in touch.
In the meantime, we’d like to thank our clients and past and present candidates for their continued support.
Best wishes in 2016
Michael

Recruitment Update – Legal Vacancies – East Anglia
The East Anglian legal recruitment market remains buoyant with a number of law firms continuing to develop their offering in the region and beyond. At least one new firm is set to enter the market in the next few months and our existing clients report strong demand for qualified lawyers in areas such as Commercial IP/IT, Life Sciences, Corporate, Real Estate and Agricultural. There are also signs to suggest that some firms are looking to diversify their offering with “bolt-ons” as a means of extending their range of client services and increasing revenue and profitability.
In the immediate term, Oyster would be particularly interested in hearing from partners and associates in the East Anglian region who are looking to move firms, together with anyone looking to relocate to the region from elsewhere and in need of advice and guidance about living and working in East Anglia and the kind of opportunities available to them. We would be very pleased to speak with you.
