About
A small practice, deliberately.
Douglas Wren is the legal recruitment practice of Standard 8 Recruitment Ltd. The legal market sits under a separate brand because litigation, housing disrepair, costs and case management systems need their own language, evidence and network.
The model is deliberately direct. The person who takes the brief carries it through search, shortlist, interview and offer, so context does not disappear between desks.
The focus stays narrow across litigation, housing disrepair, PI and family law, costs, legal support and case management systems, where a detailed read of the work matters more than a large database.

Standard 8 Recruitment Ltd
Standard 8 Recruitment Ltd operates specialist recruitment practices with the same direct model: focused markets, clear evidence and one experienced point of contact.
