Legal Recruitment

Legal expertise should be integral to the business, not separate from it. We help you recruit lawyers who understand the business just as well as they do the regulations.

We specialize in recruiting legal professionals!

A corporate lawyer who just says “no” will quickly be left behind. The lawyers who make a real difference can weigh risk against business value, explain why to someone who isn’t a lawyer, and advocate for their issues without holding the organization back. That combination doesn’t show up on a resume.

We base the requirements profile on your actual risk profile and contract flows, and then assess the candidates’ judgment based on real-world situations rather than on legal theory questions.

Extensive network of lawyers from law firms and companies

The legal market is transparent, but mobility is low—most lawyers change jobs only a few times during their careers. We analyze the market and reach out directly, both to lawyers at law firms who want to move into in-house roles and to in-house counsel who are ready to take on broader responsibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Legal Recruitment

What legal positions are you hiring for?

We cover a wide range of in-house legal matters—from Paralegal and Lawyer to Corporate Counsel, Compliance Officer and General Counsel or Head of Legal. We recruit for companies, organizations, and legal departments that are in the process of being established.
Does the candidate need to have experience working at an agency?

Not necessarily. An agency background provides depth and pace, while an in-house background offers business acumen and the ability to prioritize. Which factor carries more weight depends on whether the role involves solving complex individual issues or managing a large, ongoing workflow. We’ll assess this together with you.
Can you help us build a brand-new legal department?

Yes. We often work with companies that are hiring their first in-house counsel. In those cases, we spend extra time defining the scope of the role, the interface with external counsel, and the realistic scope of the role before we begin our search.
How soon can we see the candidates?

We typically present an initial selection of candidates who have been screened, interviewed, and had their backgrounds checked within approximately 2.5 weeks of the requirements profile being approved.
