OUR LEGAL COMMUNITY
Chancery is a business based on other people. Chancery exists because of and for talented lawyers. It is your appetite to grow that enables us to thrive and your challenges that give us a reason to be.
20 years ago we were untested as a business. We owe a debt of gratitude to those managing partners and partners that instructed us in the early days and gave us the chance to deliver.
Without your early support we may not have been where we are now. Certainly, it would have been much less fun without you.
20 years on, almost all our work continues to be driven by personal recommendations and repeat instructions. We are thankful to be part of a thriving legal sector, fortunate to work with people with drive, innovative thinking and robust values. Good people attract other good people and we appreciate every time that we have been recommended by one lawyer to another as the right legal headhunting business to work with. There’s no better endorsement of our work than a personal recommendation.
