More than a name. St Leger Brockman is a standard.

Founder, Aidan Parsons

The cheeky little lad in the picture above is Reverend John St. Leger Brockman.

He would grow up to become a barrister, before embarking on a career in the British Civil Service, retiring as Solicitor to the D.H.S.S. and receiving a CB from Queen Elizabeth II for his services.

John, also known as Grandad, inspired our founder to pursue a career in law, and when it came time to choose a name for the legal recruitment firm he established in 2020, there was only one option.

“St. Leger Brockman is not just a name. It’s a standard of excellence. It’s a firmwide commitment to the highest levels of integrity and accountability.”

It’s a promise to our clients that the lawyers we introduce to them are the kind of people we would want to work with, and our guarantee to the lawyers that entrust us with their job search that we would not put them into an environment that we wouldn’t work in ourselves.

Underpinning all of this is one inviolable policy.

Our marketing director says that we can’t say that we don’t work with dickheads.

But it’s true. We don’t.

Why SLB?

At St. Leger Brockman, we provide bespoke, high-touch legal resourcing, matching Australia’s best in-house legal talent with the organisations that need them most.

Unparalleled Insight

We’ve sat in your seat.
Our team has over 35 years of combined experience working in-house, on countless projects across APAC and EMEA and in more than a dozen industries. We understand the unique pressures, stakeholder dynamics, and strategic challenges because we’ve lived them.

Value Over Volume

We don’t chase placement numbers or quick wins. Every introduction we make is someone we’d want in our own legal team.

Beyond Placements

We’re in it for the long haul. Recruitment is just the beginning – our focus is on long term impact.
We stay close, provide ongoing support, and help future-proof your legal function and your career with insight, commitment and care.
We focus on long-term partnership, not transactional recruiting. From onboarding support to career development advice, we’re invested in the success of every placement we make.
The Corporate Counsel Club initiative takes connection and support even further.

“They just got us”

"St. Leger Brockman has changed my (personal) view on external legal recruiters…. SLB was different. They just got us. They were always genuine and dedicated to finding great human beings for our roles. Their drive to find people with the right fit has meant that we have consistently ended up with fantastic team members."
