WHAT WE OFFER
Lawyers within law firms
Whether you are a big corporate law firm, a medium-sized company or a specialized boutique, we will find you a lawyer who perfectly meets your needs. Whether recent graduates, experienced lawyers or senior partners, all our candidates prioritize client interests. Alongside the professional know-how you need, our candidates bring an enthusiasm for new challenges and a fresh approach to your company.
In-house counsels

Areas of legal action within a company are diverse, from company management to the legal department. The more senior the position to be filled, the greater the entrepreneurial responsibility expected. First-class lawyers with good business understanding will move your company forward. We will find you lawyers with real entrepreneurial drive.
Reaching your target
We start every collaboration with an intensive exchange of information, enabling us to develop a clear profile of your ideal new colleague. In the course of a search, we make use of the following three sources:
- A large pool of candidates: our current portfolio comprises some 6,000 candidates nationwide.
- Recommendations: thanks to our excellent network, we have a wide range of contacts within companies and law firms who can put us in touch with suitable candidates.
- Direct approach: after extensive market screenings (also in consultation with you as our customer) we begin the process of contacting potential candidates.
What we stand for
- From lawyer to lawyer: as consultants, we come from a legal business environment and have ourselves worked as lawyers for several years, enabling us to fully empathize with our candidates.
- The perfect profile: we draft detailed search profiles which cover the human element as well as all professional aspects.
- Fast and effective: we start the search as soon as an order has been placed, and generally deliver profiles of suitable clients within one or two weeks.
- Face-to-face: we meet all our candidates in person before we introduce them to you. This enables us to share our first-hand impressions with you, and to evaluate whether a candidate is really the right fit.
- Absolute discretion: we only mention you by name as our client if the candidate is committed to changing jobs and interested in your anonymously-described position.
