Corporate Law Department Leadership

In-House Counsel Recruiters and Search Consultants

You are the General Counsel or other senior lawyer responsible for building your company’s in-house legal team. MLA has the recruiting talent, market knowledge, systems, and research services that enable us to differentiate between an impressive CV and an outstanding attorney who will make a significant contribution to a company’s success.

Many of MLA’s search consultants are former GCs or other experienced in-house counsel, giving us a rare understanding of what it takes to meet your needs. We understand in-house specialties, roles, what makes in-house practice different, and most of all, where the talent is. Having placed many GCs and AGCs, we help them complete their teams with lawyers with complementary skills and dispositions, and a diversity of backgrounds and points of view. We have followed many legal careers from law school to retirement, and know the training, capabilities, and temperament of candidates. We reach candidates who are in the market, as well as those who aren’t actively seeking new opportunities. The call from MLA is considered extremely important, as we have guided thousands of successful careers.

We work with you and your colleagues in HR and other senior managers to assure the best match from a carefully vetted slate of qualified talent. We can also assist your company with its succession-planning needs in the legal function.
