International firm moves (January 2019)

A new year brings with it a new set of personal resolutions and one’s career often features prominently in such resolutions. If you find yourself hitting a plateau or being stuck within a comfort zone at your workplace – and (important qualifier!) this is not due to a lack of effort, motivation or initiative on your part – a positive change of work environment may be the step-up that you need to continue your professional development. Simply moving from a ‘local’ to ‘international’ firm may not be the answer and it is important that you do proper due diligence on the Partner, team and firm to assess if there is a good fit – Does the Partner have a strong book of business? Are the deals more cross-border or complex in nature compared to what you currently handle? Are there Seniors in the team who can continue to guide you? Is the role a replacement or expansion role? Etc.

This is where our recruitment team – comprised exclusively of experienced lawyers – come into the picture. Beyond our personal experience and the information provided by the in-house recruitment/HR managers, we leverage on our extensive professional network to obtain more updated news and accurate insights into the hiring Partner, team and firm. This epitomizes our ‘By Lawyers, For Lawyers’ philosophy, where if we do not personally know the answers to your questions about a role, we are ready to harness the connections within our entire legal network to get these answers for you (often from sources with first-hand experience and knowledge). Should you wish to benefit from such insights when considering your options, get in touch with us at hello@lexmatch.co and we will be happy to work with you to find the right fit.
