Ashford Benjamin

Ashford Benjamin is a leading executive search firm, our specialisms include Legal, Risk, Compliance, Technology, and Internal Audit. Many of our projects are retained, confidential searches for notable law firms, financial institutions, and other commercial entities, targeted on finding the highest calibre lawyers and compliance professionals for key, senior vacancies. We were founded with the belief that search firms should offer a better service to clients and candidates. This means taking the time to provide a genuine partnership, understanding our clients’ and candidates’ needs, and pro-actively advising on the best course of action, utilising the decades of experience we have in the legal and compliance search industry. Our mission was to create a new type of search firm. One that combines responsiveness with thorough analysis, knowledge and intellectual rigour, to provide an accurate, comprehensive service. A search firm that is not afraid to question the purpose in each search, and work collaboratively to ensure the best outcome for all confirmed. A search firm that is not afraid to advise professionals to stay where they are, if that is the best course of action for their long term goals. A search firm that has the flexibility to offer a genuinely bespoke consultancy service. To do this, we employ recognised legal and compliance industry experts, with a reputation for integrity and a genuine passion for providing the best service in the market. Our people are judged on the quality of service they provide, which is monitored through feedback from both employers and job-seekers, and the number of successful, long-term placements they make, not by metrics that only benefit the search firm. We believe our success stems from passionately upholding the beliefs and values we have developed over decades of serving our clients and candidates’ needs.
