Über uns

Steadman & Chase is a London and Düsseldorf-based boutique headhunting firm trusted by market-leading organisations across Legal & Technology.

We specialise in placing elite talent, particularly Magic Circle and Am Law 100 trained legal counsel alongside leading technology specialists, to address a key gap in this niche, where 2026’s demand for AI literacy, data privacy, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and tech-hybrid proficiency is highest.

Our practice is highly selective. We partner exclusively with clients and candidates operating at the absolute highest level. The network we have built is founded on trust, professionals who engage with us directly, frequently outside the visible job market.

Through our proprietary Talent Vault™ framework, we deliver talent shortlists in as little as 48–72 hours, supported by sophisticated off-market execution, market mapping, and benchmarking that directly address 2026’s non-equity partnership dynamics, AI-driven workflow shifts, regulatory pressures, and compensation challenges.

Our core regions are EMEA, The Americas, and APAC.

We support clients through flexible engagement models, retained, contingent, and scale-up partnerships, while providing complimentary graduate and HR hiring programmes to help build sustainable, high-calibre leadership pipelines equipped for the AI-transformed legal and technology landscape.

For candidates, we act as trusted career advisors, guiding pivotal, long-term moves aligned with the highest ambitions in a market where hybrid expertise and rainmaking ability command premium value.
