Why Source by Nova8
We work with legal leaders who need additional legal capability quickly, whether that means covering a planned absence, responding to unexpected pressure, bringing in specialist expertise for a complex matter, making a permanent appointment or standing up a team for work at volume.
We are a legal resourcing partner. We take time to understand your whole function, not just the immediate gap, so the lawyer we place is the right person, at the right level, for the work that matters.
Every lawyer on our panel is assessed by practising lawyers who understand what good in-house work looks like. The judgement is human. The standard is high. The fit is what matters.

THE RIGHT FIT
Not every brief needs a General Counsel. Some do. Others need a capable commercial lawyer for a few months, a specialist for a few hours or a team working to a defined process.
We match the level to the work and to your team preferences rather than defaulting upwards, and the quality bar does not move either way. Our panel runs from newly qualified through to General Counsel, and every person on it will have been assessed by a practising lawyer prior to deployment.
Level and cost travel together, so we would rather have that conversation early than put a shortlist in front of you priced for a different problem.
PEOPLE FIRST
Good resourcing decisions are made by people. Our technology means those people are working from better information and working faster.
Our lawyers and talent professionals then do the part that matters. They test the shortlist against the shape of your team, the nature of the work and the person you actually need – and put forward only the lawyers they would be confident placing themselves.
That is how we are generally able to come back within 72 hours and still hold the standard.
Behind every introduction sits a substantial and continually maintained dataset of lawyers we know, including details of thier practice area, sector, jurisdiction, level, in-house experience, availability and rate. Our matching technology narrows thousands of possibilities to a more credible field in minutes, taking account of your priorities and preferences.
