EST. Since 2007
In 2007 we noticed a gap in the market, there was no specialist legal recruiter based in the Southwest recruiting on behalf of Law Firms in the Southwest. Through research we established there was a need for such a service and Legal Southwest was formed. Having been established for over 10 years we have recruited over 500 legal staff for law firms throughout Devon, Cornwall & Somerset.
We attribute our success to working ethically and fairly, placing the emphasis on what is best for both client and candidate. We believe that we offer an unrivalled recruitment service and as such, have built and maintained excellent relationships with the majority of Law Firms based in the Southwest.
We are incredibly passionate about our business and strive for excellence when bringing together talented professionals with like-minded organisations. Working closely with our clients, we are a trusted and respected business partner.

Michala Willson
I am a Director of Legal Southwest alongside Sarah. I have worked in the recruitment sector for the majority of my career and this is where Sarah and I met.
Sarah started up Legal Southwest in 2007 and I joined her shortly afterwards. From here we have been working in partnership with law firms across Devon, Cornwall and Somerset providing them with recruitment solutions. I have a passion for recruitment, I believe that you spend so much time at work you need to be happy their.
A quote I always think about is: “choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”. I love my job and I want others to love there’s.
When not working I love spending time with my family, my dog and my horses and of course my business partner!

Sarah Dart
I founded Legal Southwest in 2007 having identified a gap in the market for legal recruiters in the Southwest and I have not looked back since.
I am exceptionally proud of the organic growth of Legal Southwest since 2007, I attribute the success of our business to providing the highest level of client care to every individual that we have the pleasure of dealing with and the fact that Michala and I personally deal with all recruitment ourselves. Therefore, our clients and candidates benefit from the extensive experience and relationships we have built up over the years.
Like many others I juggle my professional life with family life although it is the priority of Legal Southwest to ensure as Directors we also take great care of our mental wellbeing and ensure our work/life balance is how it should be.
