About Causidicus

We are a specialist secondment business, whose expertise lies in sourcing short and long-term placements for domestic and international clients, exclusively from the ranks of the UK Bar.
We work closely with our sister company, ABC Chambers Solutions LLP, widely recognised for many years as the “go to” consultants for sets of Chambers across the UK.

For a number of years secondment placements involving the UK Bar have been growing steadily. However, gaining access to the best people is not always straightforward with many law firms and in-house legal teams reliant on using legal recruitment companies who depend on advertising and appear to have very little exposure to the UK Bar. Causidicus is different.

Are you looking for secondment opportunities?

What makes us so different?

The world of the Bar is one that we have worked in and specialised in for many years. Our 100% focus on the UK Bar and our enviable list of Chambers’ clients means that you will have access to the best talent for your secondment needs. We have an unrivalled level of experience and have connections and contacts within every major set of Chambers in London and across the UK.
During our many years in the legal industry, we have built an unparalleled level of trust with our clients, many of whom we have known for thirty or forty years. Our vast experience means that we will be able to pinpoint individuals who have the requisite expertise and skills that you are looking for.

Our long-standing professional and personal connections mean that we are well placed to efficiently and quickly find the best options for any secondment vacancy. These range across all areas of law, domestically and internationally, to cover short and long-term secondments. If you are a law firm, an in-house company legal team or a Government organisation looking for additional assistance for a particular project or due to an increased workload, we are perfectly placed to assist you.
