The London-based specialist international legal recruitment firm Buchanan Law has announced that it is opening a new office in Miami – increasingly regarded as the principal hub for the US east coast legal industry.
With a well-established London office in Hatchers Yard SE1 the firm is now going to operate from the Sabadell Financial Center in Brickell, a commercial hub in Miami. This represents a major statement by Buchanan to the many large law firms who have expanded into the area in recent years.
Heading up the new office will be Thomas Hanlon, director and head of Buchanan’s US practice. Also relocating to Miami is the firm’s CEO James Baker in a reflection of the firm’s ambition for its US practice.
“The global legal talent market is more competitive than it has ever been, and we are seeing firms completely reimagine the hiring process,” said Hanlon. Being ahead of the curve and having our finger on the pulse is what allows us to connect our clients with the very best talent. Our Miami office will allow us to continue to service these clients across the US – the largest legal market in the world, and one that shows no signs of slowing down.”
Buchanan specialises in placing top legal talent across the board from large full-service firms to smaller specialist firms, as well as in-house at major corporates. “While we have been in the US market now for many years, and have built excellent relationships with top firms,” comments James Baker, “the launch of our Miami office solidifies our commitment to providing the very best in legal recruitment solutions at an international level.”
