Senior legal appointments can shape the direction of an entire legal function. Finding the right person means looking beyond legal experience to leadership, judgement and fit.
Found Legal is a specialist in-house legal recruitment business focused on technology and SaaS.
Executive Search is one of the services we offer, focused on senior in-house legal appointments including General Counsel, Chief Legal Officers, Heads of Legal and similar roles.
We understand the senior legal market across the UK and Europe, and the experience, skills and leadership qualities needed to succeed in a senior in-house role.
Finding the right legal leader
The strongest legal leaders are often not actively looking for their next role. Reaching them requires an established network, a good understanding of the market and a credible reason to have the conversation.
We have long-standing relationships with senior legal professionals across technology and SaaS. We know the market and can identify people who are likely to be a strong fit for your business, legal function and leadership team.
We take the time to understand your business, your legal function and what you need from the role, then use our network and market knowledge to identify and approach relevant candidates.
