ABOUT hrmattr
People matter.
hrmattr is a specialist People & Culture consultancy created exclusively for law firms. We help firms build stronger workplaces, attract better talent, develop their people and retain the lawyers they don’t want to lose.
People & Culture for law firms. Nothing else.
We know the legal talent market.
hrmattr was built from years spent working inside the legal talent market, speaking with law firms, Partners and lawyers about careers, remuneration, progression, culture and why people move. That gives us a perspective traditional HR consultancies don’t always have.
THE MARKET INTELLIGENCE WE BRING
We understand what lawyers are being offered. What makes them take a conversation. Why they reject opportunities. Why they leave firms they once wanted to join. And what makes them stay. We bring that market intelligence into the room when advising your firm.
02. HR THROUGH A LEGAL-MARKET LENS
Generic HR frameworks don’t always translate.
Law firms are different. Your people structure is different. Your career pathways are different. Your commercial model is different.
Ours start with the legal market.
THE REALITIES WE FACTOR IN
Career architecture
Associate. Senior Associate. Special Counsel. Partner.
How firms operate
Billable expectations. Partnership pathways. Practice groups. Partner relationships. Client followings.
Talent pressure
Salary pressure. Lateral hiring. Graduate pipelines.
We want to start much earlier.
The traditional HR model often starts when there’s a problem. We want to start much earlier. How do you become a firm great lawyers want to join? How do you turn good lawyers into future leaders? How do you build Partners who can lead people, not simply matters?
WHERE WE OPERATE
That’s why hrmattr sits at the intersection of People & Culture. Talent. Employer Brand. Leadership.
04. INSIDE THE FIRM. OUTSIDE THE FIRM.
Because what happens inside your firm ultimately determines what people say about it outside.
Inside the firm
We help strengthen culture, performance, progression, leadership, remuneration and retention.
Outside the firm
We help strengthen employer brand, careers messaging, talent attraction, LinkedIn presence and the professional brands of your people.
The model changes with your firm.
We don’t arrive with a generic HR playbook and tell you how your firm should operate. We learn the business. The Partners. The people. The practice groups. The ambitions. The challenges. Then we help build the People & Culture strategy around where the firm wants to go.
That might mean solving one specific problem. Running a People Health Check. Building your Employer Brand. Or becoming your ongoing Fractional People & Culture partner.
hrmattr
Build a firm people want to join, grow with and stay with.
Better attraction. Better leadership. Better careers. Better culture. Better retention. Because when your people are stronger, your firm is stronger.
