Fixed Term and Permanent Recruitment
Dovetail charges monthly fee of 1.5% of the lawyer’s annual remuneration in arrears to a maximum of 12 months (18% p/a). If the lawyer ceases work so too does our fee. It’s the equivalent of a 12-month pro rata guarantee period. We back ourselves to find the right lawyer.
Fixed-Term

A great option for 6-month requirements. Pay monthly as you go, usually costs 20% less than a secondee. Recommended for projects and parental leave cover.
Directly engage the right lawyer as a fixed-term employee on your payroll.
Permanent

When you are looking to grow your team or replace a team member. We offer month payments, as you go, and a 12-month pro-rata guarantee period.
