International Law Firm Recruitment
There is a growing internationalisation of financial markets and deal dynamics. The rise of high-growth markets in the Middle East, India and South East Asia, has a direct bearing on work done in London, New York, the Bay Area or Frankfurt. Clients are best served when they have access to elite talent throughout the world. Top talent today includes lawyers who have elite local market and international deal experience and qualified in more than one jurisdiction.
