Founded in 2007, DMJ Recruitment is one of the largest London-based independent staffing businesses placing legal professionals and company secretaries in private practice and in-house roles.

Through Omni’s ownership, the business will operate as a brand within Fortes and extend its focus into other adjacent professional services areas, such as technology, accountancy and finance. The move aims to strengthen the portfolio of companies within Fortes whilst supporting the business’ expansion and growth.

Operating from offices in London and Dubai, DMJ has a portfolio of blue-chip clients including Aviva, Barclays, PwC, Santander, Vodafone and Tesco, together with an impressive list of UK, Magic Circle, and US law firms.

Charles Gallagher-Powell, Head of Private Equity at Omni, said:

“We recognise the real growth potential within DMJ Recruitment. It will be the nucleus of Fortes’ professional services offering, providing a holistic approach to placing the best talent across a range of functional areas and sectors. Marc, David and the senior management team have built an exceptional business in DMJ, and we look forward to working closely with them and their team over the coming years to deliver their vision for the future.”

Marc Tobias, Co-founder of DMJ Recruitment, said:

“It has always been our ambition to scale the core DMJ business. Working with Omni under Fortes provides us with the perfect opportunity to expand beyond our current specialisms. Joining such a progressive and dynamic group in Fortes will enable us to develop and deliver our own strategy for DMJ with the added benefit of learning from other like-minded businesses that focus on complimentary areas, such as technology, accountancy and finance, to support and expand our current and future client base.”
