How can in-house legal teams attract and retain talent?

In this episode of In‑House Matters by Lawcadia, we’ll hear from Angela Grant at Day One Recruitment, who specialises in helping organisations find and keep great legal talent. With deep market insight and experience across legal, risk and compliance functions, Angela understands what candidates are looking for and how in-house leaders can respond.

This will be a candid discussion on the realities of today’s hiring climate — what attracts lawyers to in-house roles, the barriers that cause frustration, and the retention strategies that make a difference over the long term. We’ll explore how to position your legal team as an employer of choice, how to streamline recruitment, and the practical steps that set new hires up for success.

This practical 30-minute session will explore:

• How to define and communicate a compelling employee value proposition
• Market insights on motivators and candidate trends
• The hiring practices that shorten time-to-hire while improving quality
• Purposeful onboarding strategies that build engagement from day one
• Retention levers that strengthen culture and career pathways

For Angela, building strong in-house legal teams starts with clarity, preparation, and follow-through — from the first conversation with a candidate to the long-term development of your people. This episode will provide practical insights for legal leaders looking to attract talent, keep them engaged, and build a resilient in-house function.
