Legal Services

Overview

Recruitment Practice Group

Our Legal Services Recruitment Practice Group covers positions in-house at leading financial institutions and multi-national corporations and in private practice with law and patent firms. The Legal Services Practice is a core part of our business and generates a substantial portion of our firm’s annual revenue. Although we mainly recruit for partners or senior-level management, we also have experience helping our clients hire of-counsel and senior associates. We tend to focus on local hires, but we also have experience in recruiting candidates from overseas for Tokyo-based positions. We are also active in recruiting candidates in Asia, Europe and the US. Candidates and clients value our experience and we are well-positioned to assist with non-compete agreement analysis, business plans, due-diligence on the candidate’s portable business and client list, and team placements. Our clients include boutique law firms, regional second-tier firms, and major tier-1 international and domestic law firms.
