ABOUT VIXA PARTNERS

VIXA Partners is a specialist executive legal recruitment firm focused exclusively on Partner and senior lawyer placements across Australia's top-tier and upper mid-tier firms. We operate across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra.

Scott Francis, Managing Director of VIXA, brings over 25 years of direct experience inside Australia's leading law firms — as a lawyer for 20 years in top-tier and international firms, and as National Executive Talent Manager at one of Australia’s leading top tier firms (responsible for partner recruitment nationally), and as an admitted lawyer in New South Wales, Queensland and New Zealand. He is recognised as a dispute resolution lawyer in Legal 500 Asia Pacific, and is an accredited Executive Leadership Coach.

This depth of first-hand experience — inside the firms, inside the roles, inside the partnerships — means VIXA provides genuinely informed advice that goes well beyond what a conventional recruiter can offer. We understand the strategic needs of law firms, the nuances of key practice areas, and what it takes to assess cultural fit, client portability and long-term earnings potential at the partner level.

Our approach is consultative, relationship-driven and unhurried. We take the view that a lateral partner move is one of the most significant professional decisions a lawyer will make — and we treat it accordingly. Candidates are encouraged to ask every question, take their time and reach a decision that is in their best interests.

Confidentiality is absolute. No information about you will ever be shared with any party without your express consent. Your details, your enquiry, and the existence of any conversation between us will remain strictly confidential.
