Who we are

About US

Barratt Galvin is a specialist legal recruitment agency focused on international law firms in the Middle East. Since 2007, we have been placing legal professionals into some of the world's most respected firms across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and Doha. We also recruit for international law firms in Australia and the UK.


We are not a generalist agency. This is all we do, and we do it with a depth of knowledge and a standard of service that only comes from nearly two decades of focus on one market.

Your Career, Our Focus.

Why work with us?

Whether you are a law firm looking for exceptional talent or a legal professional planning your next move, the way we work sets us apart.


Every search we take on receives our full attention. Every candidate we represent is briefed thoroughly, presented honestly, and supported well beyond the point of placement. We do not send high volumes of CVs and hope something lands. We take the time to understand what is right for each person and each firm, and we stand behind every recommendation we make.



For employers, that means a recruitment partner who genuinely knows your market, your culture and what your next great hire looks like. For candidates, it means a recruiter who will represent you with integrity and support you through every stage of your move.
