Our stronghold on the in-house legal market allows us to identify exceptional attorneys on behalf of corporate law departments more effectively than any other recruiting firm in the country.
ESQ Recruiting has the capacity to conduct searches locally, nationally, and globally. We possess a strong understanding of the in-house legal market, allowing us to recruit exceptional lawyers around the country. We also have a global network, outside of our listed office locations, that enables us to serve the international legal recruiting needs of our global clients.
General Counsel Search Services
Today’s general counsel is a critical member of a corporation’s senior leadership – an accomplished legal professional who will be required to provide top-flight legal and business advice. Evaluating and quantifying the skills required when assessing candidates for general counsel positions can be challenging, even for the most experienced CEOs. Our experience completing general counsel searches on behalf of leading companies has given us insight into the practices best suited for ensuring that a general counsel search concludes with the hiring of a highly skilled lawyer who will be an invaluable member of the senior management team. As in-house attorney search specialists, we bring to each of our searches thorough knowledge of the legal function, extensive experience conducting general counsel searches, and deep insight and access to the candidate pools in corporations, law firms, and the government. In addition to general counsel assignments, we regularly work on searches for other counsel roles, including chief compliance officers, chief IP or patent counsels, chief regulatory counsels, and other members of a company’s legal department.
