Organizations of all sizes and in all sectors today must contend with increasing amounts of regulation, legislation, and litigation. As a result, qualified, experienced attorneys who understand the economic impact of legal and regulatory issues and how to manage the risks are essential members of a management team.

Korn/Ferry has a strong legal recruitment tradition, having conducted nearly 2,000 legal executive searches to date. Our legal recruiters, many of whom are attorneys who enjoyed successful legal careers before entering the field of executive search, undertake legal and compliance searches for a wide range of world-class publicly and privately held companies, premier law firms, and academic and nonprofit clients.

The Legal Center of Expertise team conducts searches in four major areas:

• general counsel and other senior counsel roles.
  
  
• law firms seeking partners and counsel
  with various practice specialties.
  
  
• legal infrastructure/management roles, including law firm executive directors,
  chief financial officers and chief marketing officers; corporate chiefs of staff,
  and law school deans and administrators.
  
  
• compliance function positions ranging from
  securities compliance to corporate governance
  and Sarbanes-Oxley.

With the ability to tap into Korn/Ferry’s global network, targeted market intelligence and research, expansive legal profession contacts, and personal experience, our legal search consultants provide each client with a slate of highly qualified candidates, including those with varied professional experience and diverse backgrounds.
