    ABOUT SONDER CONSULTANTS

    Sonder Consultants is a leading global legal search and recruitment consultancy with a unique and modern vision. We bring a fresh, unique approach to recruitment utilising our exclusive network, ground-breaking technology and invaluable market insights.

In 2023, we launched an office in Los Angeles, California and next year we have our sights set on Atlanta and Houston. Our reach, however, expands much further than our office locations.
