Dovetail is growing carefully and by design.

The firm has been created as a senior led commercial practice grounded in two principles: collaboration and excellence. Those principles inform not only the service we provide to clients, but also the way the firm develops and the people who become part of it.

Growth is intentional, selective and relationship driven.

A selective professional community

We are open to conversations with senior lawyers whose professional judgement, client approach and working style align with the firm’s ethos.

We are interested in individuals who value:

  • Consistently high standards of advice and execution
  • Cohesive, senior-level collaboration
  • Clear governance, shared expectations, and mutual accountability
  • An environment where reputation, trust, and long-term relationships matter

Every addition to the firm is considered carefully, with a focus on strengthening the collective.

An evolved approach to legal practice

Dovetail is designed to feel different to conventional law firm models. Lawyers operate with autonomy and ownership, but within a structure that prioritises cohesion, consistency and a unified client experience.

That balance allows the firm to function as a trusted group of peers — aligned in approach, confident in each other’s professional standards, and focused on delivering quality work.

If you believe your experience and approach are well suited to Dovetail Law, we are happy to have a discreet, exploratory conversation.
