About Major, Lindsey & Africa
Established in 1982, MLA is committed to meeting the ever-evolving legal search needs of law firms and corporate legal departments. To truly understand the career aspirations of those in the legal field – as well as the needs of the firms and companies that hire them – a recruiter must have experience, focus and in-depth market knowledge of the legal profession. By being committed specialists, our information systems, networks, search and qualification processes – everything we do – is aligned with the legal profession. We know more people in the profession and we know them better than anyone else in the industry. This knowledge has helped us to expand our recruiting service offerings to bring more comprehensive legal recruiting solutions to both law firms and corporate clients. Our deep understanding of our clients' ever-evolving staffing and recruiting needs has led us to launch successful practices in law firm management recruiting (non-legal positions at law firms) as well as a project-based legal staffing affiliate. Trends in client needs have also led us to open successful legal recruiting practices in London and Asia, servicing the EMEA and Asia regions, respectively.
Our Mission
- Be the partner of choice for our clients, meeting their evolving local and global recruiting needs
- Be the trusted advisor to top candidates in our markets, providing them with career-long counsel and opportunities

Please take the time to review our corporate values statement. It encompasses our unwavering commitment to the highest ethical standards:
How we do business is as important to us as what we do. Values are the foundation of the company's culture. They are the rules that cannot be broken. These statements provide the context for all the decision-making at MLA.
