The difference

We analyse the history behind the CV

Recruitment often relies on familiar networks and keyword matching. We look at how careers and firms develop over time.

The market, not a contact list

We map the relevant lawyer population instead of beginning and ending with people already known to a recruiter.

Careers over time

We examine tenure, progression and movement patterns rather than treating a CV as a static list of roles.

Probability, explained

The model estimates fit and retention risk, then shows the evidence, confidence and uncertainty behind the result.

Our specialisms

One evidence model, applied to different legal careers

The relevant signals change by mandate, but the standard remains the same: understand the person, the team and the likely path after the move.

Royal Courts of Justice, London

Probabilistic, not absolute

A model should explain what it knows and what it does not

No model can promise that a lawyer will stay or that a hire will succeed. Ours estimates compatibility and retention risk, reports uncertainty and updates as the evidence changes. Recruiter judgement remains part of every recommendation.

Developed in formal partnership with Lazy Dynamics, specialists in real-time Bayesian inference.

Insights

What the legal market reveals over time

View all insights
Market movement
What lawyer migration reveals about a firm

Patterns of arrival, progression and departure can reveal more than a vacancy description about how a team operates.

Retention
Tenure is a signal, not a verdict

How to read tenure patterns without treating an individual career or a firm history as a simple score.

Team structure
The composition of a practice changes the hiring brief

Seniority, training background and lateral history help define what a team actually needs next.

Probabilistic matching
Why a useful model must show uncertainty

A recommendation is more credible when it explains confidence, missing evidence and the factors that could change the result.
