​Next week, we're proud to attend the inaugural Lawyers In Local Government & AMO (Association of Monitoring Officers) Conference as the sole recruitment strategic partner to AMO.

Secured earlier this year, this strategic relationship marks an important milestone in our commitment to the local government legal profession. Alongside our long-standing Corporate Partnership with Lawyers in Local Government (LLG), it reflects Venn Group's role in helping shape and strengthen legal talent across the sector.

Through our work with LLG, we've championed local government law as a rewarding career path, helping attract new entrants, develop specialist skills, and provide clear progression opportunities for legal professionals. At the same time, we've worked closely with councils to build capable, future-ready legal teams.

Our relationship with AMO extends this focus into governance leadership. By engaging directly with Monitoring Officers and senior legal professionals, we can contribute insight around workforce planning, succession challenges, leadership appointments and the evolving demands facing the profession.

Together, these relationships position Venn Group at every stage of the professional pathway, from inspiring the next generation of lawyers to enter local government, through career development and advancement, to the appointment of those entrusted with safeguarding standards, governance and accountability across local authorities.

As Strategic Partner, we will bring specialist market knowledge, recruitment expertise and workforce insight to help authorities attract, retain and develop the talent needed for the future. We are delighted to play a part in supporting an organisation that is investing in the long-term success of governance and legal leadership across local government.

We're looking forward to meeting members and delegates at next week's conference and discussing how we can continue to strengthen and elevate the local government legal profession together.
