Opus Resourcing is a boutique recruitment and executive search partner across three connected sectors: Legal Tech & Innovation, Legal Business Development & Marketing, and SaaS. We hire senior, executive and mid-level talent for global law firms and technology companies across the UK, the US and Europe.
We recruit the AI, engineering, product and innovation talent driving legal technology forward, from AI Engineers and Machine Learning specialists to Directors of Innovation and Heads of Legal Technology. We work with Am Law 100 firms and high-growth LegalTech businesses across the UK and US, reaching candidates who combine technical depth with an understanding of how a law firm actually works.
We deliver exclusive, research-led search for senior Business Development, Marketing and Practice Management leaders across Big Law, with particular strength in New York and London. As firms shift from relationship-led to data-led growth, we find the commercial leaders who help partners win and grow work.
With over 20 years recruiting across the SaaS landscape, we hire commercial, product and engineering talent for technology companies scaling through growth, funding rounds and IPO. Our experience spans B2B software, HR Tech, FinTech and EnergyTech, with particular strength in go-to-market leadership and senior commercial hiring.
Our clients range from seed-stage start-ups to Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies across the UK, US and Europe. They include Am Law 100 and Magic Circle law firms hiring BD directors and innovation leaders, Legal Tech SaaS companies scaling their commercial and engineering teams, and high-growth SaaS businesses building out go-to-market, product, and technology functions.
I recently worked with James at Opus Resourcing during my search for a senior BD leadership role in the legal marketing industry, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first conversation, he took the time to genuinely understand what I was looking for, not just the title or the compensation, but the type of environment, team, and work that would be the right fit for me. What set James apart was how informed and well-connected he was. He had real insight into the firms and opportunities he was presenting, which gave me confidence that his guidance was grounded in something more than a job description. He knew the right questions to ask and helped me position myself in a way that felt authentic.
