Marsden Group is a recruitment firm whose focus is to partner with our clients and assist them on sophisticated hires for growth, development and succession within their firms.  As an extension of our clients we approach our candidates with a strategic plan that compliments our clients needs effectively communicating their message to the market place. 

We decided to embark upon our first external social media initiative to speak to trends and issues facing our clients throughout the legal community and participate in industry discussions in a meaningful way.  With offices in London, Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, New York and Toronto we are live and present in these markets with local intelligence on the ground.  We believe that a blog would be a great way for Marsden to share our presence, connections and knowledge.

With this blog we hope to introduce you to key voices within the legal community that are leaders and trend setters within the industry from across the global legal marketplace; we will highlight many of the bright minds behind technology, innovation, content and trends shaping the legal industry worldwide. We’ll share the unique perspectives of our authors and insiders, and provide new channels for you to network.

We look forward to having you join in on these conversations and hope that you will participate in the discussion.
