International Legal Recruitment

To provide our clients and candidates with the greatest possible depth and breadth of service, MLA is the only legal search firm that maintains over twenty local offices around the world, making us uniquely positioned for truly global legal recruitment. The recruiters at each of our offices have their fingers on the pulse of the local legal marketplace – the area’s leading and up-and-coming lawyers, the most attractive opportunities, plus current and future business trends.

But these local specialists also have the unique advantage of being plugged into MLA’s connected and collaborative network of offices around the world, enabling us to serve a legal profession that grows more global every day. This combination of local expertise with global collaboration gives us a distinct advantage as international legal recruiters.

Whether you’re a lawyer looking for opportunities overseas, a multinational in need of top in-house lawyers or a firm planning to expand your international capabilities, you can count on MLA to identify the best candidate – or the best job – quickly and efficiently. We are fully able to provide you with international legal recruiting consultation that is equally sophisticated and knowledgeable about multinational corporations and law firms based in the U.S. and Latin America, as well as the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. We are also prepared to help you resolve complex issues surrounding cross-border placements, foreign re-qualification and expatriates in legal roles. We can even familiarize your staff with customs, cultures and legal environments around the world.

It’s a level of expertise and capability in international legal recruitment you don’t usually associate with a recruiting firm. But it’s what you can expect from an ongoing professional advisor and partner like MLA, and what makes us the most qualified international legal recruiters in the industry.
