Waters Legal Search & Selection Limited was created on the back of Andrew's passion for providing international career opportunities for lawyers.

After a childhood of living overseas himself, Andrew completed a double degree in Commerce and Law at Victoria University Of Wellington, New Zealand before qualifying and practising as a solicitor at Russell McVeagh, Wellington.

 

In 2001, he transitioned into international legal recruitment in Sydney with Australian legal recruitment agency Dolman, where he was responsible for placing  Australian and New Zealand qualified solicitors into law firm and in-house positions in Australia, Asia and the UK. 

Like many young New Zealand and Australian professionals, in 2003 Andrew made the decision to relocate to London, continuing his career at international legal recruitment agency Garfield Robbins placing UK, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, Irish and South African qualified lawyers into London law firm and in-house positions.

In 2005 Andrew joined Hays Legal where he was a Business Unit Director responsible for their international legal recruitment division placing UK, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, Irish and South African qualified lawyers into law firms in London, Asia, the Channel Islands, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Bermuda and Middle East.

For the last decade, Andrew has been the Managing Director of UK legal recruitment agency Chadwick Nott, before ultimately deciding to create Waters Legal Search & Selection in 2024.

“Andrew is a very effective international legal recruiter with excellent knowledge about the legal market he operates in. Andrew knows what works and what doesn't, the ins and outs. Andrew is very passionate about his profession, investing a lot of time and effort into matching people with the right roles. Andrew provides advice and guidance every step of the way, from deciding what roles are most appropriate for each person to settling in a new country. I would definitely recommend Andrew if you are thinking about a new role.”

Antony Clerehugh

Counsel

Bedell Cristin, Jersey

"Andrew is a genuine professional delivering at the very highest level at every step of the recruitment process. He invests time and effort into ensuring that the candidate and role are suited to each other as well as providing pertinent advice on the personal aspects of making a move. Andrew's market knowledge and guidance are excellent. I would not hesitate in recommending Andrew to anyone who is interested in finding a new role or recruiting someone for a new role."
"Andrew recently placed me in a top London law firm. Despite already having a number of recruiters already helping me, a friend strongly recommended I seek Andrew's services. Andrew and his colleagues kept me updated with my applications and, when my first interview came around, he and I went through some comprehensive interview preparation which I am sure was very influential in me being offered that particular role. I cannot recommend Andrew and his team highly enough."
