What makes Lawspeed different?
Lawspeed was the first UK law firm to specialise exclusively in recruitment law. Since 1997, we’ve supported agencies with legal advice, contract management and compliance. We’re still one of very few firms with deep expertise in both recruitment and law.
99.9% of our work is in the recruitment sector. We’re specialists, not generalists — and proud of it.
Recruitment law is complex, with unique obligations and risks. We help you stay compliant, protect your revenue, and avoid unexpected liabilities — from tax to disputes.
We founded ARC (Association of Recruitment Consultancies) in 2010. It’s run by recruiters for recruiters, and lobbies the government on your behalf.
If there’s unhelpful, fee-draining legislation coming around the corner, we do something about it. Several notable successes include arguing against inappropriate elements of Agency Workers Regulations.
