Diageo Legal Internship, Flex Legal

Flex's main competition are the traditional recruitment agencies who have supplied temporary workers in this sector, but lacking the links to the legal profession they are unable to source the best talent or accurately assess their suitability for roles. Compared to other legal agencies Flex is a step ahead in its matching systems and interface, for instance offering video profiles and automated timesheets and invoicing systems which are not typical in the sector.

As the legal profession continues to modernise, having access to the top new talent will be increasingly important. Flex's contribution is to implement tools like the training journal app, which is the UK's first digital Qualifying Work Experience record. This will bolster Flex's pool of qualified legal talent while supporting students and employees through the qualification process, a win-win for the company and the industry. In 2024, an acquisition by vision-aligned London-based international law firm Mishcon de Raya will see Flex maintain autonomy and benefit from new capital.
