How we can help

Finding senior legal talent
Hiring at this very senior level is more than just a new hire, it is a new partnership for the business. As a business you will be looking for someone who can not only deal with the pure practical legal matters but someone who can align this to the business objectives in the most commercial way.
We have a proven track record of delivering results in high-profile, complex senior legal talent searches and accessing our strong relationships with the General Counsel community.

Building legal teams
Whether you are looking to build out your headquartered legal team or launch in-house legal resource around the world you will be looking to find the highest quality talent.
Many businesses in recent years have looked to decentralise their legal teams and it has become more important than ever to have legal expertise on the ground. These lawyers provide local knowledge around specific laws and regulations but also local language skills allowing for ease of access when it comes to complicated legal matters.

Hiring your first lawyer
Making this investment is a big step for businesses and there are lots of questions, from when is the right time to bring in this resource to what kind of background should the lawyer have.
As a business, you need to scope the role out and establish where this talent would sit within your business and what long-term benefits having this resource will mean.
