Recruit a Corporate Lawyer

A corporate lawyer should solve business problems, not just describe them. We’ll help you find an in-house lawyer who makes your business run faster, not slower.

We specialize in recruiting in-house counsel!

The in-house counsel is at the heart of the business: contracts with customers and suppliers, procurement, data protection, intellectual property law, labor law, and day-to-day support for business operations. Unlike a law firm attorney, the in-house counsel must set priorities independently and provide actionable advice.

We are therefore looking for lawyers who can assess the level of risk in conjunction with the transaction, rather than passing the problem on to someone else.

We reach corporate lawyers and law firm attorneys who want to move in-house

Many of today’s top in-house lawyers are currently working at law firms and are considering making the move. We identify both groups and contact them directly, so that you receive a selection that offers both depth of expertise and business acumen.

Our Offer for Recruiting a Corporate Lawyer

Understanding Your Needs: We'll review your contract workflows, the applicable areas of law, your international exposure, and which matters should no longer be referred to external counsel.
Proactive Candidate Attraction: We contact the right lawyers directly instead of waiting for applications.
Thorough selection process: We assess business judgment and communication skills by having the candidate analyze your typical scenarios, rather than hypothetical questions.
Project Management and Support: We'll guide you through the entire process until the contract is signed.

Talent Search ensures fast and efficient recruitment

Using our proven process, we deliver candidates who have been identified, contacted, interviewed, and background-checked within approximately 2.5 weeks. In the meantime, contracts still need to be reviewed—which is why we maintain a fast pace even for a role that would otherwise tend to drag on.

We handle the entire process, from the job description to the hiring decision, and can place an interim attorney through our sister company, Interim Search, if the process needs to be handled immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Corporate Lawyer

When is it better to hire an in-house attorney rather than use a law firm?

The tipping point usually occurs when external costs become difficult to predict, when the contract volume requires an ongoing presence, or when the business needs someone with in-depth knowledge of the industry. We’ll help you determine where your tipping point lies.
What areas of law should a corporate lawyer cover?

The most common areas are contract law, data protection, labor law, intellectual property law, and corporate law—with the emphasis varying depending on the industry. Rarely does a single lawyer need to be an expert in everything; the key is knowing what should be handled internally and what should be outsourced to outside counsel.
Should we recruit from a law firm or from another company?

Law firm attorneys bring technical expertise and a strong work ethic, but often need help prioritizing. Attorneys who have previously worked in-house get up to speed more quickly but tend to have a narrower depth of expertise. We’d be happy to introduce you to both types so you can weigh their pros and cons.
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.
