Pinsent Masons x DVF

I have had the pleasure of partnering with DVF since 2016 for vacancies in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds across a number of disciplines including Managed Legal Services, Business Change, Technology/Consulting, Legal Project Management and HR recruitment both for the wider Pinsent Masons business as well as Pinsent Masons Vario. This is what sets DVF apart:   

1. Tailored Service: All the consultants I’ve worked with have taken time to understand our firm’s unique needs and culture and ensure that the candidates they submit align not only with the core experience/skill-based requirements but also cultural fit. In addition, they proactively seek feedback on the client experience and implement any suggestions into their future practice which I’m very grateful for. When they are struggling to source candidates, they are honest about their challenges and this enables us to make any changes as we go along, whilst simultaneously managing our expectations.   
2. Open Communication: It’s rare for me to need to chase DVF/Career Legal for an update. I am regularly kept updated and the consultants are quick to flag any risks so these can be addressed together. 
3. Strategic Insights: DVF regularly provide valuable insights into market trends, salary benchmarks, and legal industry dynamics. Their expertise helps to make informed decisions and enhance the firm’s employer brand when going out to market.
4. Successful Placements: We have successfully onboarded talented individuals across the UK who have become integral members of the firm. Recent examples include: 

2 x Lean Six Sigma Managers – Leeds and Manchester 

Solutions Analyst – London 

Legal Project Manager – Leeds 

 In summary, DVF are trusted partners to Pinsent Masons for both legal and non-legal recruitment. Their professionalism, personalised approach, and results-oriented mindset make them our go-to agency. I would highly recommend their services to other law firms and professional services businesses.
