Watson Reynolds is a legal and professional services executive search firm. We provide world-leading firms with business growth by delivering partner laterals, team moves and practice / firm acquisitions.

We are also qualified DEIB specialists who combine executive search expertise with our gender and ethnically diverse career management service. Our clients always have access to the best possible talent.

Watson Reynolds became the first executive search firm in the UK to introduce mandatory 50/50 gender-balanced shortlists for all partner-level searches.

Our mission is to continue to build a diverse, robust network and community to become an essential supplier to any firm wishing to secure hard-to-find talent.

Today, we are proud to continue to deliver exceptional results for our clients, ensuring we supply a consistent balance of quality and diversity.

It is accepted globally that board and leadership teams with a balanced gender and ethnically diverse composition outperform those that don’t. Watson Reynolds provides high-quality shortlists with a fair gender and ethnically diverse representation. We do this through a robust search process and our unique partner relationship-driven approach to diverse leadership talent attraction. As well as assignment-specific searches we are career advisors to digital transformation leaders. Over 45% are from historically underrepresented groups. This improves our efficiency when delivering a comprehensively diverse shortlist for your open leadership positions.
