Meet our Founder

Peter Clark: Director of Legal & Compliance

Peter has extensive experience working internationally, including in the UK, Germany, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. This global exposure shapes his practical, down-to-earth, people-first approach to recruitment.

In 2019, he moved to Berlin and joined Taxfix as an interim in-house recruiter, where he hired their first in-house lawyer. Since then, Deep Blue has become recognised as the go-to legal headhunter for legal and compliance roles in Germany and beyond.

“I see Deep Blue as your external Talent Acquisition Team. Our straightforward, results-focused approach cuts through the noise to find you the right talent efficiently.”

Ambitious

We set the bar high - for ourselves and for our clients. We’re here to help legal teams build better, faster, and more diverse teams, and we don’t settle for average outcomes.

Ethical

We work with integrity, even when no one’s watching. Trust is everything in recruitment, and we earn it through discretion, honesty, and doing the right thing - every time.

Agile

We move quickly, think creatively, and adapt to changing needs. Whether it’s a last-minute interim support or a niche permanent search, we tailor our approach to deliver results fast.

Resilient

Recruitment isn’t always smooth sailing - but we don’t give up easily. We keep going, we learn from every challenge, and we bounce back stronger.

Empathetic

We listen first, act second. Whether we're advising a client or supporting a candidate through a tough decision, we try to understand what matters most to them.

Authentic

What you see is what you get. We communicate openly, avoid corporate fluff, and bring a human touch to everything we do - because people hire people.

Partner of choice for in-house legal teams.
