Principal Consultant - Legal Transformation in London

IGA Talent Solutions is continuing to develop its Legal Technology, Operations & Innovation practice across the UK and US, and we’re looking for an ambitious and commercially driven Principal Consultant to play a key role in that growth.

This is an opportunity to join a high-performing business with an established client base, excellent infrastructure, and significant backing. You’ll step into an active network of leading law firms and legal services organisations, working within one of the fastest-growing areas of the legal market.

The legal innovation, operations and technology space is a rapidly expanding global market. Organisations are actively rethinking how legal services are delivered, creating sustained demand for specialist talent who can support change, efficiency, and innovation. As a result, there is a growing and ongoing need for legal recruitment consultants that can connect exceptional talent with mid-large global organisations. This is a market with long-term structural growth, significant fee potential, and strong repeat client demand across both the UK and US.

About the Role

As a Principal Consultant, you will focus on building and developing relationships across the legal innovation and transformation space. You’ll work closely with law firms, consultancies and corporate legal functions, helping them hire exceptional talent across transformation, legal operations, legal tech and innovation.

Why Join?

• High-performing environment with average monthly PPH of £30k+.
• Access to guidance and support from £1m+ billers within the group.
• A mature, grown-up approach to hybrid working, with 2 days per week in the office and 3 days working remotely.
• Existing PSL relationships and track record with some of the largest law firms across the UK and US.
• Budget to attend leading international conferences and industry events across the UK and US.
• Backing from Hamilton Bradshaw, the private equity vehicle founded by James Caan CBE with access to strategic support and genuine industry thought leaders in the portfolio.
• A supportive, collaborative, “win together” environment with a strong focus on shared success. Rewarding all-company incentives, including trips such as skiing in France and Switzerland, Oktoberfest, and Copenhagen.

The Role Will Involve

• Growing and developing a specialist market within legal transformation and innovation.
• Managing and growing relationships with law firms and legal services clients.
• Delivering high-quality recruitment solutions across permanent and retained strategic mandates.
• Identifying new business opportunities and contributing to the continued growth of the practice.
• Becoming a recognised specialist within the legal transformation and legal technology market.
• Collaborating closely with colleagues across research, operations, and leadership teams.

What We’re Looking For

• We are open to recruiters with experience across:
• Legal transformation and legal technology markets

• General business change and transformation recruitment

You will also demonstrate:

• Business development, relationship management capability and developing a strong candidate network

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• A genuine interest in building a long-term market and personal brand
