Job Requirements: Recruiting In-House Lawyers

Behind each in-house lawyer appointment is someone doing the appointing, and while the company employer - whether that be a CEO, GC or anyone else in the company - has the greatest say over who will get the job, legal recruitment experts and companies have always been influential and useful. Increasingly, legal recruitment firms are looking at in-house as a particular niche they can exploit, as companies without the legal know-how of private practice seek guidance into the legal world. Mike Evers, who we interviewed earlier this year, is one such person, while Dimitri Mastrocola, a partner and leader of a Major, Lindsey & Africa, was interviewed last week by the Financial Times about legal recruitment.
