About Kim Kerrigan
I am honoured to be a partner of empire group, working as a senior Legal Support consultant.
I have over 25 years’ experience in recruitment, and I proudly deploy this experience, knowledge and expertise in my role where I specialise in recruiting legal support staff in small, medium and top-tier firms, as well as in-house.
Prior to empire group, I gained experience recruiting both temporary and permanent support staff whilst working for highly regarded boutique and international consultancies. I also have an intimate and nuanced understanding of the legal industry, having myself (prior to joining recruitment) worked within the legal industry in roles for top-tier law firms and government legal departments.
I am wholeheartedly dedicated to connecting great people by finding the right candidate for the right firm. I believe in the importance of uplifting and developing the careers of legal professionals, and am passionate about helping firms achieve their potential.
When I’m not at empire group, you’ll find me winding down at home with my daughter and dogs, catching up with family and friends over a glass of wine.

Learn moreI worked with Kim and found her to be incredibly supportive and approachable. She helped me negotiate terms in my contract and ensured I was satisfied the whole way. I would recommend Kim to anyone seeking a new opportunity.
Kim was very helpful during my job search. She did most of the job hunting for me while I went about my usual work week. She was very quick in landing interviews for me (at hours that supported my schedule) and she would assist me even outside business hours – which is when job hunting is usually done. She really went the extra mile to help me out, like helping me figure out the best public transport route to get to my interview punctually and safely. I have already recommended Kim to a good friend of mine.
I have had the pleasure of dealing with Kim for many years in many firms. Kim is extremely knowledgeable about the industry and always submits candidates that meet our requirements and, more importantly, fit with the culture of the firm. I would thoroughly recommend Kim for any recruiting needs.
Kim was very helpful and up front about my options for prospective jobs. Very professional service and placed me in a well paying position. Thank you for not giving up on me.
For this particular role, I dealt with Kim Kerrigan. I can’t fault anything at all about Kim and working with her on filling this role. Kim communicated frequently and kept me updated and was a great conduit between myself and the candidate. It was a seamless process and I love how down to earth Kim is. Thank you.
Kim is a consummate professional and always willing to go that extra mile, she is personable and knows exactly the type of candidate we are looking for.
Kim was very knowledge and straight forward to deal with. I highly recommend her. She was very responsible and able to fill the required position without delay.
Kim Kerrigan was responsive (even after hours) and fast. You could tell she had a genuine confidence in her candidate.
