Sourcing a General Counsel for one of the leading European Corporations
We were contacted following a recommendation by one of the leading European Corporations after they had conducted an unsuccessful search through a major Search firm.
The company wished to appoint a General Counsel with local knowledge and global experience able to head a 200+ lawyer department. This was a highly sensitive appointment.
Following preliminary discussions, we met with the key decision makers, obtained a detailed brief, agreed procedures/off-limits lists and the terms for our appointment.
After an intensive period of research concentrating on the US, European and Asian markets, we identified a pool of potentially suitable candidates working in a range of jurisdictions.
Targeted headhunts were made to a number of these prospects and those assessed as appropriate were then interviewed and assessed by us. The identity of our client was only disclosed to client-approved candidates at the final stage.
After considering detailed assessments, our client chose to meet with six candidates and following salary negotiations and references checks, a successful appointment was made.
The recruit went on to greatly raise the profile of the legal team.
