Consultant – Legal Executive Search (French-speaking)

Location: London

Shape the Future of the Legal Elite with Tenex Search

Tenex Search is a high-growth executive search firm trusted by the world’s most elite law firms – from top-tier US firms to the Magic Circle. We partner with clients on their most strategic senior-level hires: partner moves, office launches, and retained mandates that shape the global legal market.

We’re now building out our French coverage and are looking for a French-speaking Consultant to help lead this growth.

Work that matters

Drive high-stakes, complex mandates – from launching US firms in Paris to orchestrating cross-border team moves involving London, New York and key European markets.

French & global reach

Own a key part of our strategy in France and Brussels markets, while operating on an international scale across the UK, Europe, the US and beyond.

Real career acceleration

Thrive in an environment where your impact is visible. You’ll work directly with founders, have genuine responsibility early, and a clear path to rapid progression.

Exceptional earning potential

With average fees exceeding $250K, our consultants regularly earn £100K+ in year one – with no cap on upside.

We operate with precision, pace and commercial awareness – trusted by leadership teams at the world’s most profitable law firms.

Proven success model

A market-leading track record on retained searches, multiple exclusive mandates at any one time, and a history of launching offices across Europe for leading US firms.

As a French-speaking Consultant, you will play a central role in high-impact hiring decisions in the French and Brussel legal markets:

• Lead full-cycle search assignments – from market intelligence and mapping to partner placement
• Build and manage deep relationships with top-tier lawyers and law firm leadership in Paris and Brussels
• Drive cross-border mandates involving France, the UK, the US and other key jurisdictions
• Identify, originate and execute on strategic opportunities – firm launches, team moves and practice build-outs
• Become a go-to expert on the French/Brussels market within Tenex
• Work alongside our high-performing lead consultant for the French market

We’re looking for sharp, driven and commercially-minded individuals who want to build something significant. You might bring:

• Native or near-native French, with excellent written and spoken English
• Experience in legal recruitment, executive search, or high-end professional services OR a background in law, consulting, finance, or B2B sales
• Strong research, market mapping and analytical skills
• The confidence to engage senior partners and decision-makers
• Drive, curiosity, emotional intelligence – and a hunger to grow fast

Experience in the French legal market is a strong plus, but not essential if you bring the right mindset and skills.

• Year-one earnings potential of £100K+
• Access to high-value, high-profile search mandates with elite US and UK firms
• Hands-on mentorship from market leaders and direct exposure to founders
• A high-performance, collaborative culture with zero bureaucracy and minimal politics
• A platform to grow your career globally – especially across France, London and the US
• We will honour and pay out any outstanding commissions you’ve already earned

Tenex Search is not a typical legal executive search firm. We’re building the go-to partner for elite global law firms, with purpose, precision and pace. We care about quality, relationships and results – not meaningless KPIs, bureaucracy or burnout.

We’re here to win over the long term – and we’re looking for people wired the same way.
