Lawyer profiles
Structured career histories used to understand progression, tenure, practice and movement.
Evidence-led legal matching
Find the right lawyer and the right next move
Three Crowns compares careers, firms and market outcomes to identify stronger matches for legal teams and for lawyers deciding what comes next.
Our market view
A broader evidence base changes the answer
We do not begin with a vacancy board or a contact list. We begin with a structured view of the relevant legal market.

Law firms mapped
Firm directories mapped across practices, offices, seniority and professional histories.
Current published dataset snapshot: 12 June 2026.
Two decisions, one evidence model
A clearer answer for both sides of the match
Clients need to know who is most likely to fit. Candidates need to know which role and organisation offer the strongest realistic next step.
For clients
A shortlist ranked by evidence, not familiarity
We assess hundreds of relevant lawyers, incorporate the client's hiring and retention patterns, and explain why one candidate ranks above another.
- A market mapped beyond the recruiter's existing network
- Candidates ranked against the mandate and client context
- Compatibility, retention outlook and uncertainty made visible
For candidates
A private report on your realistic next moves
We compare your career evidence with firms, companies and observed career paths, then identify the roles and organisations that best fit what you want to build.
- A career profile compared with relevant firms and companies
- Realistic roles, levels and named employers in a private report
- The evidence for each match, its trade-offs and questions to test
How matching works
From a complex market to an explained recommendation
Data widens the search and exposes patterns. Probabilistic modelling handles incomplete evidence. Recruiter judgement turns the result into a decision someone can challenge and understand.
01
Define the decision
We begin with the hiring mandate or the career outcome a lawyer wants to achieve.
02
Map the relevant market
We look across lawyer histories, firms, teams, movement patterns and verified professional evidence.
03
Estimate and rank fit
The model compares realistic options and updates its assessment as supporting or conflicting evidence is added.
04
Explain the recommendation
A recruiter reviews the result and makes the reasons, trade-offs, uncertainty and next questions clear.
Our specialisms
Matching across the legal career
The evidence changes by career stage and mandate, but the question remains the same: where is this person most likely to do their best work?
01 / Private practice
Associate search
Evidence-led matching for associates moving between leading UK and US law firms in London.
Explore02 / Leadership
Partner search
Partner and team search informed by practice economics, migration patterns and institutional fit.
Explore03 / Business
In-house legal
Legal counsel and leadership appointments assessed against the work, organisation and likely tenure.
ExploreProbabilistic, not absolute
Better informed does not mean falsely certain
No model can guarantee that a lawyer will succeed or remain at a firm. Ours estimates compatibility and retention risk, shows uncertainty and updates as evidence changes.
Recruiter judgement remains part of every recommendation. The model supports a decision; it does not make one in secret.
