As the premier legal recruitment firm in Emerging Europe and Latin America, Legalis has built a strong track record over the years in delivering high quality and high profile hires, especially at the Partner and General Counsel levels.

We focus on the finest legal talent. Our candidates have excellent academic credentials and experience at top tier law firms or corporations. At the same time, the Legalis recruitment process is not simply about matching qualifications to a client's needs. It is about finding people who love being challenged, who pursue knowledge, who can be counted on, and, most importantly, who find personal satisfaction in what they do.

We look at every engagement as an opportunity to partner with our clients, building a long-term relationship that goes beyond any individual search.  Many of our clients have been working with us under our previous brand (Hudson Legal) for over a decade.

The combination of our recruiters' honed evaluation skills and our commitment to the highest level client service sets us apart in the industry. We are your adviser and your partner through every stage of the recruitment process, including compensation negotiations and transition issues.
