I worked with Sershen when he supported us with our Legal and Secretariat recruitment. He was extremely professional and provided a great service and some good quality candidates. I appreciated he was quick to respond to requests and was very good at keeping candidates engaged while selling our brand externally. I hope we can work together in the future and would recommend him if you are looking for a conscientious recruiter.

Sershen is a Senior Consultant.
Sershen has an impressive track record advising clients across the full spectrum of Fides’ specialist services, including executive search, due diligence and consultancy assignments for both leading law firms and corporates. While he is well known for his work on General Counsel and Company Secretary mandates, he also advises extensively on partner-level searches within private practice, working closely with firms on strategic lateral hires, team builds and succession planning.
He brings a comprehensive and well-rounded perspective of the legal market, enabling clients to navigate complex hiring decisions effectively. Sershen regularly leads searches for clients with highly specialist and competitive requirements across multiple jurisdictions, often within niche practice areas and at senior partner level, where market insight, discretion and judgement are critical.
Before entering the legal search profession, Sershen qualified as a barrister working within the litigation team of a Tier 1 ranked firm, on a number of high-profile matters. This background gives him a strong understanding of private practice dynamics and the commercial and cultural considerations that underpin successful partner hires.

What do clients say
Sershen and I have worked together on a couple of roles where I needed support with a quick turnaround and also needed to source high calibre candidates. I found Sershen to be very collaborative, knowledgeable, reliable, and his client engagement style was second to none. Sershen is someone who really listened to what I needed - both in terms of candidate profile, calibre, role fit, culture fit, and process adherence for us. I trust him as an expert in his field - open, honest, sincere and approachable; he knows his market well and will share insight as requested. I have no hesitation in recommending Sershen, and I'm sure I will be working with him again in future.
I worked with Sershen on hiring an in-house Legal Counsel position. He quickly understood the business and role requirements, sending over relevant candidates in short notice. I was impressed by the standard of candidate shared and we quickly filled the role, I would use his services in the future.
Sershen was a pleasure to work with when I decided to look for a new role. He took the time to listen to what I was looking for and offered honest and impartial advice. He also handled negotiations on both sides efficiently and effectively. He would be the first person I’d contact, if I choose to move on from my current position.
