FAQ

Questions companies and law firms ask us about legal freelance, interim management and project assignments.

What in-house legal departments most often ask us about hiring legal counsels, compliance officers and a General Counsel.

How do you approach hiring in-house counsel, and how quickly do you move when the need is urgent?

Within 48 hours of your request, we set up an introductory call, first online via Teams. We explain who we are and how we work, then mainly listen to you: what defines your company and your legal department — in substance and in culture — which profile you're looking for and why. We spar on your needs and give you an initial view straight away. Every assignment we treat as an executive search: a premium service for you and for the candidates. We carry your story to the lawyers in our network; those who are interested agree to be put forward, after which we facilitate the interview process with prep, feedback and clear expectations on both sides. When the need is urgent, we move fast: we propose legal interim solutions while a permanent answer is being found, so the temporary pressure is absorbed right away and we can pursue the permanent search in a targeted way. Throughout the process we communicate clearly and agree fixed update moments. Request a tailor-made search: #hire-legal-talent-tailor-made

What sets you apart from a traditional recruitment agency, an Anglo-Saxon headhunter or a generalist?

A generalist works through cross-entry points across every department in a company and misses the legal depth a legal team requires. An Anglo-Saxon headhunter works transactionally, from volume and international databases, away from local nuances. Our consultants are lawyers themselves: they speak your language, know the in-house reality and are in daily contact with the market. That warm, genuine connection — what we call caring — means we know who, for the right opportunity, is willing to move. That way we build long-term, successful partnerships, not a one-off placement.

How does a confidential search for a General Counsel or Head of Legal at C-level work?

The search for a General Counsel or Head of Legal is led by our founder and senior consultants. We work on retainer, with the closest personal involvement and — as always — absolute confidentiality. We approach in a targeted way the profiles who don't apply themselves, outside any public vacancy; the exchange runs directly between you and the Managing Partner. We seek out candidates with added value(s) — in intellect, experience and integrity alike — to add real value. Like attracts like: it's in our company culture , our DNA and our track record to fill C-level roles successfully. Book a confidential talk: #contact

What does a collaboration cost, and what terms do you apply for a legal department?

We work on a success basis: you only pay once a hire is made, with no mandatory exclusivity and no lock-in. What binds us is trust, carried by correct and transparent communication throughout. The concrete terms are set during the intake, tailored to the seniority and complexity of your search. Book an intro: #contact Ask for info: mailto:hello@steveskills.be
