VERMELO | LEGAL & REGULATORY RECRUITMENT SOLUTIONS

TWO ROUTES TO LEGAL AND REGULATORY TALENT

Legal and regulatory hiring reaches our group by two distinct routes, and it serves nobody to blur them.

If you are a regulated business building legal, compliance or regulatory capability inside your organisation, an insurer growing its compliance function, a fintech hiring its first regulatory specialists, a financial services firm scaling in-house legal, that is Vermelo: legal and regulatory hiring delivered inside our talent programmes.

If you are a law firm hiring solicitors and fee earners, or you need a specialist legal recruitment agency for individual appointments, that is our sister brand Gerrard White Consulting, which recruits legal talent across London and the South East.

‍Same group, two very different jobs.

Common questions

Legal and regulatory hiring, answered

Compliance teams, regulatory references, contractors, and which of our two routes you are on.

  • Usually embedded recruitment to start: a recruiter inside your business who understands the compliance talent market, building the team under your brand. If the function keeps growing, the engagement grows with it. We will scope it honestly, including the market reality on salaries and availability, before you commit to anything.

  • Yes. For roles within FCA-regulated businesses, regulatory references and conduct requirements are part of our standard process. It is a large part of why regulated firms work with us in the first place.

  • In-house solicitors and legal counsel, compliance specialists and officers, regulatory affairs professionals, paralegals and legal operations, and risk and governance roles: the people who keep regulated businesses on the right side of complex regulatory environments. Not law firm roles; those are Gerrard White.

  • Yes, through our MSP: interim legal and compliance contractors engaged compliantly, with IR35 status process and screening built in and the regulatory referencing that conduct-sensitive roles need. If contractors are one part of a bigger hiring picture, they sit alongside permanent hiring in an RPO or total talent programme rather than as a separate arrangement.

  • Honestly, no, and we would rather redirect you than waste your time. Law firm recruitment is Gerrard White Consulting, our specialist legal recruitment sister brand covering London and the South East, and it is also where our legal roles are advertised if you are looking for your next move. Start there.
