We understand the technical aspect of: 

• Core legal functions: corporate law, contracts, litigation, M&A, intellectual property, employment law. 
• Regulatory focus areas: compliance, risk management, anti-bribery & corruption, AML/KYC, data privacy (GDPR, CCPA). 
• Public affairs scope: government relations, lobbying, stakeholder engagement, policy analysis, crisis communication. 
• Specialized sectors: life sciences (FDA, EMA), financial services (MiFID II, Basel III), energy & environment (ESG, climate disclosure laws).

We are also familiar with the required certifications & credentials 

• Legal: JD/LLB/LLM, bar admission in relevant jurisdiction. 
• Regulatory/Compliance: Certified Compliance & Ethics Professional (CCEP), CAMS (anti-money laundering), CIPP/E or CIPM (privacy). 
• Public Affairs: IABC, CIPR, or PRSA accreditations for communications; public policy certifications.

We also assess the candidate’s Legal & Regulatory Environment Awareness 

• Understanding jurisdictional differences—what’s acceptable in one country may be illegal in another. 
• Awareness of emerging regulations: AI governance, ESG reporting mandates, cybersecurity law… 
• Ability to discuss risk implications for the business when hiring for these roles. 

We have the relevant sourcing & networking proficiency  

• Engaging with professional associations 
• Tapping into sector-specific events: regulatory summits, industry legal conferences, government relations forums. 
• Building confidential pipelines—many candidates here are not actively job-hunting due to sensitive positions. 
• Emphasizing integrity and governance standards 
• Highlighting the strategic influence the role will have instead of listing tasks 
• Outlining ressources and independence – will legal/compliance/public affairs have the backing to do their jobs? 

We are also putting an emphasis on cultural & ethical sensitivity 

• These candidates hold companies accountable— our process must reflect rigor, fairness, and confidentiality. 
• We are also able to answer ethical questions—many won’t join if leadership’s track record is questionable. 
• It is important to also check the respect of conflict-of-interest boundaries in outreach and networking.

We are able to set up tailor-made assessment centres covering: 

• Evaluating technical expertise: Can they interpret complex statutes, draft watertight contracts, navigate regulatory audits? 
• Spotting soft skills crucial for these roles: diplomacy, negotiation, advocacy, ethical judgment. 
• Differentiating advisory vs. enforcement mindsets—some roles require a business partner approach, others a strict gatekeeper role.
