Private Practice

Legal Recruitment & Strategic Consulting

We recruit high-impact lawyers—partners, associates, and entire teams—aligned with your firm’s vision and practice areas. Whether you’re growing, merging, or entering a new market, we support every step: strategic planning, market intelligence, and seamless talent integration.

Interim Legal Staffing

Flexible legal talent, exactly when you need it. We provide temporary legal professionals and teams to support due diligence, litigation, and secondments.

Mergers & Alliances for Law Firms

Strategic growth through structured partnerships. We support law firms in identifying compatible partners based on practice synergies, market positioning, and long-term objectives.

In-House

Legal departments are no longer expected simply to manage risk. Today, they are called upon to accelerate the business, support organizational growth, ensure compliance in an increasingly complex regulatory environment, and lead the adoption of new technologies, including artificial intelligence—often with the same resources and budgets.
Unico helps General Counsel, Legal Departments and management teams build more efficient, flexible and business-focused legal functions through an approach that combines talent, organization and technology.

An Integrated Approach

A modern legal function is not built simply by hiring people or investing in technology. It comes from achieving the right balance between three key elements.

People

Professionals with the right skills, brought in at the right time and effectively integrated into the company’s culture.

Organization

Clear processes, effective governance, well-defined roles and operating models designed to scale with the business.

Technology

Digital solutions and artificial intelligence that simplify work, automate low-value tasks and improve the quality of decision-making.
