Tariq Sheikh's Linkedin Analytics

I’ve been a recruiter for a long time. 28 years, in fact, and during that time, I can confidently say that “the best roles are never advertised, and the best lawyers are never looking.” Yet every month, we see high-profile partners making strategic moves across top-tier firms. These moves aren’t driven by partners actively looking – they’re too engaged in their work, committed to their clients. Instead, they have someone like me advocating for them behind the scenes. My approach is simple but powerful: I work quietly, advocating for lawyers at the very top, securing them better platforms, stronger teams, and ultimately, a better package. My work diverges from typical recruitment – no job boards, no cattle-call applications. I’m not here to see who can compete for a listed role; I am here to shape my clients' careers, seeking exclusive roles and teams where they will thrive. I function more like a sports agent, representing elite lawyers to prestigious firms, keeping everything under wraps with a “no names” approach. Discretion is paramount, especially in a world where confidentiality and brand are everything. I’m known in the market as a disruptor, and for a reason: this isn’t your typical recruiting service. My clients don’t fight to be noticed. They don’t submit CVs or compete against the masses. They are sought after – because of who they are and the value they bring. Working with me is a selective partnership – one based on mutual commitment and shared vision. I take on only the most select partners, focusing exclusively on team moves and placements in global markets including New York, London, Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong. This is about more than placements – it’s about career management. I consider myself your career agent, consistently seeking opportunities for you to level up, to build a more impactful practice, and to gain the recognition your work deserves. For those in my network, I’m not just a recruiter; I’m an advocate, a career strategist, and a true partner in their journey. “A trusted confidant and true professional. Tariq guided me through a pivotal career shift that I never saw coming but absolutely needed. He’s the only recruiter I’ve met who acts more like a career architect than a recruiter, designing your future.” “I was skeptical about recruiters – until I met Tariq. Unlike anyone else in this space, he creates opportunities where others couldn’t. It’s clear he has his ear to the ground and a sense for where the market is moving.” If you’re a partner seeking a bespoke, elevated approach to your career, I’m here to talk
