Connecting exceptional lawyers with leading US, UK and EMEA firms — through one dedicated advisor and her network in London and beyond.

The best person to help you map out your next move is someone who has actually walked the path. Sonica specialises exclusively in legal search and recruitment across London, the UK and international hubs — private practice and in-house. What sets Sonica apart is the depth of her experience, having qualified and practiced as an Intellectual Property attorney in both Ireland and South Africa.

That first-hand experience means it’s not a basic CV read — Sonica understands the mechanics of a practice group, the nuances of different billing structures, the weight of a partnership track, and the reality of a cross-border relocation.

Her own path took her from candidate attorney and notary public in Johannesburg, through trade mark practice in Dublin, to a senior role at an International Headhunting firm. She now acts as a true peer and strategic advisor to solicitors, offering data-driven market intelligence and confidential career coaching, while partnering with premier domestic and international firms to place elite lateral associates who fit both the technical brief and the culture.

Sonica was born and raised in South Africa, trained at the University of Pretoria (Universiteit van Pretoria), and qualified there before bringing that grounding to the Irish and UK legal markets.
