Clients’ Testimonials
“I have worked with many recruitment agencies over the years, but none have been as successful as Mila Read and Found Legal.
Mila has a unique ability to attract top-tier in-house lawyers that fit our team both culturally and technically. Our company’s name is not very well known in the market, which makes it challenging to draw the right talent. Yet Mila consistently provides exceptional legal talent, tailored exactly to our needs.
Every CV she sends is relevant, and she clearly understands our requirements after just a brief conversation, delivering swiftly with quality rather than quantity.
The lawyers we’ve hired through Found Legal have been incredible additions to the team. They are not only skilled in their roles but also humble, cooperative, and a joy to work with.
I would highly recommend Mila and Found Legal to anyone looking to hire excellent legal talent. Her deep understanding of the market, combined with her ability to source in-house lawyers who are the right cultural fit, makes her an invaluable partner in recruitment.”

“I have worked with Found Legal and Mila Read specifically on a number of occasions and she is simply one of the best recruiters I have come across.
Mila has successfully placed a number of team members for me, each of whom have been fantastic additions to the team. They are all truly motivated, capable, experienced and most importantly, just simply great and personable people which allowed me to build a strong and capable team.”
Deputy General Counsel, Global Software Company, London
“What makes Found Legal stand out is a real personalised service.
On each placement, their director Mila Read took the time to truly understand what I was looking for, to research the company, the products, the services and get a real understanding of the team.
When Mila sent over CVs, instead of sending lots of candidates, she only sent a few who she had thoroughly vetted so they were a clear match to what I was looking for.
By Mila investing upfront a huge amount of time, it has allowed me to trust her with my recruitment needs and allowing me to use my time efficiently in what can potentially be an extremely time demanding activity to undertake. Mila has consistently met my high expectations and I couldn’t recommend working with her enough.”

“Since 2019, I have had the pleasure of working with Mila Read at Found Legal in my capacity as EMEA General Counsel.
Mila’s strong network within the tech lawyers community is evident in the quality of candidates she has provided to us.
To date, she has successfully placed a number of team members with us who have not only been technically strong, with excellent training and experience at top law firms, but also good cultural fits for our business.
Her focus on candidates with multiple language skills has been particularly beneficial for our legal team, which operates across various jurisdictions and often interacts with stakeholders in their local languages.
One of the most helpful aspects of Mila’s work is her ability to understand our specific needs and deliver candidates that match these requirements precisely which saves us a considerable amount of time and effort.”

Candidates’ Testimonials
“Everything is going really well. My manager is very supportive and I think we make a great team together. Work-life balance is generally very good though there are naturally periods that are more demanding. The work is both interesting and challenging, which keeps things exciting. Generally I’m very happy – and need to really thank you for the opportunity!”
Monica, Legal Counsel, Global Tech Company, Spain
“I’m really enjoying my new role. The role is complex, and I’m learning a lot from my manager. The team is excellent. It makes a huge difference to work with people who are genuinely engaged in their legal work — not just handling emails quietly but actively shaping the business. That’s what I appreciate about my manager the most: he’s challenging in the best way, and we’re quite similar in that sense — we care about doing great work and improving the business, rather than just going through the motions. In my previous job, I worked with lawyers who had been in the same position for years without much eagerness or curiosity. It’s refreshing to now be in an environment where that mindset is different.”
A.D., Legal Lead, Fortune 500 IT Company, France
“Mila at Found Legal has been an incredibly engaged and helpful recruiter. She was with me every step of the way by helping me prepare for interviews, giving me all the essential details about the hiring company, being flexible as to when to schedule our calls even with my long working hours, and communicating with companies on my behalf. I am now working in an incredible workplace all thanks to her initiative to reach out to me.”
