Bluestone Investment Group, a UK-based investment business, has launched Blake Chambers, a legal recruitment agency.

The launch of the agency, which represents a joint venture with legal recruiters Raphael and Reuvan Blake, is part of Bluestone’s expansion of its portfolio of companies. The agency will work with law firms across the UK.

Bluestone Investment Group CEO Stuart McBride said “We’re pleased to welcome Raphael and Reuvan to the Bluestones Investment Group. As part of our expansion plans, we want to operate in many key areas of recruitment. It’s important that we invest in recruitment consultants that we believe have the drive and ability to make a company successful. Both Raphael and Reuvan have a wealth of experience in legal recruitment and we’re confident that they will make Blake Chambers a leading legal recruitment company.”

“Both Reuvan and I are really pleased to have started our own recruitment agency,” Blake Chambers managing director Raphael Blake, said. “We have over 30 years combined experience in the legal recruitment sector. During this time, we have worked with large international law firms as well as smaller family owned companies. We’ve looked at the competition in the UK and feel with our experience we can provide a higher level of service to clients and candidates alike.”

Blake Chambers operates in several areas of law including commercial litigation, commercial IP, employment and residential conveyancing among others.
