Strategic Solutions for In-House Legal Teams

Any in-house lawyer will tell you that when it come to delivering outcomes, sometimes good enough is good enough.
But when it comes to hiring the right legal talent? Only the best will do.

What Makes SLB Different?

Industry Intelligence

Our team has over 35 years of combined in-house experience across ASX-listed companies, government departments, and multinational corporations.

When we recommend someone, it’s because we’d want them on our own team. That’s not marketing speak, that’s our hiring philosophy.

Strategic Alignment

When we present a candidate you can be safe in the knowledge that we have considered all aspects of the role, including cultural fit, business acumen, and long-term potential as well as technical competence.

We understand that every hire, whether secondment or permanent, must align with strategic objectives.

Let’s talk to find out what that means for you.

True Partnership

Our relationship doesn’t end when someone accepts your offer. We provide ongoing support to ensure successful integration, monitor satisfaction on both sides, and remain your trusted partner for future legal resourcing needs.

We take our role in building the legal teams of the future seriously.

Our Clients Say it Best

Permanent Hiring Solutions

Building your legal function for the long term

When you partner with SLB, you can expect:

Permanent placements are about more than filling a role – they’re about finding someone who will grow with your organisation, understand your industry, and become a trusted advisor to your leadership team.
Whether you’re hiring your first General Counsel or expanding your existing legal team, we ensure every permanent placement is positioned for long-term success.

Secondments and Flexible Resourcing

Flexible legal expertise when you need it most

Major transactions, regulatory investigations, sudden departures, or seasonal workload spikes – sometimes you need exceptional legal talent without the permanent commitment.
