Published
vacancies.

We start with an introductory conversation, by phone or (video) face-to-face.

The conversation has three parts.

First, a brief introduction of who we are and the quality we stand for. Then, it is entirely about you: your background, your current situation, your skillset, your ambitions and your wishes. Finally, we discuss the vacancy, the firm or the company: role content, culture and practical matters.

Depending on your interest and whether our expertise can meet your expectations and those of the client, you give your consent to be put forward, anonymously or not. We always explain our view on whether a potential fit exists and, where relevant, suggest alternatives or additional options.

Clear communication and transparency are essential throughout any recruitment process. Why? Out of mutual respect and basic courtesy: we do not waste each other's time and we play the long game. We guide you through every step of the interview process, provide feedback, negotiate salary and deliver difficult messages when needed.

We like speed, but not quick wins at the expense of lasting ones. We look after the interests of both parties because we are in it for the long term.

Interested? Let us know.

Published vacancies are just the tip of the iceberg.

This is where we make the difference, and this is what we mean by our Executive Search for All service: based on your skillset, needs and wishes, we map the market for solutions that work for both parties.

Many compelling roles never see the light of day publicly. For experienced lawyers, in-house counsel, compliance professionals and heads of legal, a significant share of opportunities comes through our network, confidential mandates, or requests along the lines of: "if you find someone with expertise X, Y, Z, feel free to send them our way."

When you are ready, we are happy to introduce you anonymously, with your explicit consent.

Let us know what your expertise is.

Confidentiality is the foundation of our service. Most candidates are still professionally active and want to explore the market without exposing themselves. That is why we never share a CV, profile or personal data without your explicit consent. Every step happens with your agreement.

Read our Privacy & GDPR policy.

Some candidates do apply directly because they know someone at the firm or company.

We advise against it, and here is why.

• We are your objective and free sparring partner. We name the things that matter and give honest, direct feedback to both parties. Our goal is not to "place" but to facilitate the right match. When both parties already know each other, the perspective is coloured. Some things go unsaid or undiscussed. Experience tells us this can lead to disappointment or growing frustration down the line. It is also our role to follow up with both parties for 6 months after the start, to make sure everything is going well and, if not, to bring the clarity needed to get everyone on the same page.
• We scan the broader market. We give you a complete picture and let you know whether there are opportunities that might be a better fit for your profile and conditions. To paraphrase Adele: we are "legal from the other side". We are jurists ourselves, we know the market, the firms and the profession from the inside. We go beyond the vacancy: culture fit, internal dynamics, honest advice.
• Last but not least: you are still working...
  Applying for jobs is a job. It's ours. We take everything off your plate and ensure a smooth recruitment process and transition.
