In-House Legal Executive Search
Executive search firm specializing in senior legal roles. We recruit for a wide range of in-house legal positions, from mid-level to C-suite roles. General Counsel, Head of Legal, Company Secretary, Senior Legal Counsel, and Legal Counsel.
Spontaneous mobility among CLOs, General Counsels, and senior in-house counsel with (international) corporate and/or commercial experience is limited. To ensure a swift recruitment process and the presentation of a well-considered shortlist, headhunting plays a crucial role in our placement procedures. We know the legal professional you’re looking for: every week, we conduct exploratory conversations with experienced attorneys and in-house counsel, even when there isn’t a specific job opening involved. And we’ve been doing this since 1997.
This experience gives us an unparalleled network among senior professionals in the commercial legal field, enabling us to act quickly on specific (executive) search assignments. A candidate’s required professional experience is merely the starting point of the conversation: the overall fit determines success. For this reason, we actively seek personal contact with candidates who meet the profile criteria. Drawing on nearly 30 years of experience in the legal sector, we successfully complete virtually all of our search assignments within the agreed-upon timeframe.

We personally guide the process through to the final appointment.
