In corporations and other organisations across industries, the role of general counsel is growing in influence and importance. Globalisation, increasingly complex international laws, cross-border regulatory variances and other issues are intensifying demand for legal professionals of exceptional calibre and diverse experience.

The legal professional has also become more multinational. Many firms are opening offices abroad to better serve international clients, creating a need for skilled professionals in those locations, as well as highly specialised home-office expertise. Boyden’s global network gives us access to these sought-after candidates in cities around the world.

Our insight into both leadership and the legal sector enables us to pinpoint the skillsets, mind-sets and other attributes that will deliver the most effective talent solutions for our clients. In the current climate, we focus on individuals who not only have strong regulatory expertise, but can also integrate with senior management and function as part of the leadership team. Business acumen is crucial, so that in addition to serving as trusted legal advisors, they can contribute as strategic business partners.
