Legal

The legal market has changed substantially in the past decade. When the arrival of non-standard law firms in the market and low productivity levels are taken into account, then it's clear why only the largest legal service providers seem to be prospering.

Odgers Berndtson Executive Search works with law firms, Barrister’s Chambers, legal associations, and regulators. We help those clients find the candidates with the strategic vision to deliver long-term value to their organisation and their clients and to navigate the future of the law.

Germany

Germany’s strong economy and the growing activities of German companies around the world have created an attractive environment for international and domestic law firms, producing the largest legal market in Europe.

But with increasing competition, pricing pressures, and an overcrowded market, legal service provides cannot rely on growth and new hires to improve their profitability.
From digital transformation, to over hauling tired pricing and product structures, Odgers Berndtson’s German Legal Practice advises legal service providers on the talent they need to grow in a challenging market.
