Legal

Given the complexity of today's business environment, the legal profession has become highly structured into specialist practices. With significant emphasis on regulatory and compliance requirements in many sectors, the need for quality legal services has become an essential element to surviving the rigours of commercial life. This has created an equal demand for in-house corporate talent which places greater pressure on the overall candidate universe. In developing countries where the legal framework may be completely different to international standards with associated language barriers (China for example) there is only a limited benefit to moving staff from overseas locations. ConnectedSearch has a track record of recruiting both in private practice for support professionals and lawyers (predominantly in China) and in-house legal specialists across a broad range of industry sectors.
