Bowd lawyers are top-tier and major-firm trained.
Many of them have also spent time as blue-chip corporate counsel. They self-select for a spirit of adventure and a love of challenge.
We have paralegals, graduates and senior lawyers up to partner and general counsel level.
Many of our clients need people for months at a time, but sometimes it makes more sense to outsource a matter or project.
If we can’t offer you someone exceptional, we won’t take on the work.
Bowd provides perfect-fit lawyers for corporate and commercial firms anywhere in Australia.
We have the lawyers that HR says will take 6 months to find, and better yet, we often have lawyers that HR will never find.
We focus on contract or fixed term arrangements but we will occasionally take specialised recruitment briefs for our clients.
Our model allows firms to expand their bench space when needed then reduce it again when it is not. It makes parental leave commercially viable, and means you should never need to say ‘no’ to a client.
We also offer a suite of services which will get you out of the back room and into the boardroom.
In addition to finding firms the perfect contractor (and occasionally permanent hire), our clients love using us to:
- Outsource PowerPoint work such capacity statements and pitches
- Buy the time of legal experts by the hour (‘phone a friend’)
- Get paralegal help
- Update their precedent suites
- Draft articles and publications
- Prepare award submissions
It’s just like walking down the hallway and asking for help in a BigLaw firm, only this time you’re in charge.
Our lawyers are your lawyers.
Yes, there are legal secondment firms but none of them specialise in exceptional lawyers who can fit straight into your team.
Most of them focus on the needs of corporate Australia but only offer lawyers to law firms as an afterthought. Many secondment firms are also direct competitors to law firms.
We are here to support you, not compete with you. We have legal talent at a level that is in short supply.
We also solve your needs in other ways by finding great people to do the stuff that gets in your way, such as precedents, publications or legal research.
Our clients tell us it’s refreshing to work with lawyers who are just there to do great work, and no one has to worry about flexible work requests, partnership aspirations or internal politics.
