Robert Walters Launches New Legal Recruitment Team For Financial Services

Japan

Japan's leading international recruitment consultancy, announced today the launch of its new legal team which will service the specialist recruitment needs of both top international and domestic law firms, as well as in-house roles across industry. 

Following the market crisis, many financial services companies in particular have found themselves balancing the requirements of local regulatory authorities and global compliance policies creating a consistent need for bilingual candidates in the legal & compliance areas.

The newly created legal recruitment team at Robert Walters will recruit for positions across all levels of financial services for the following roles: 
- In-House General Counsel 
- Lawyers 
- Paralegals
- Documentation Specialists
- M&A Specialists
- Compliance Professionals
- Market, Credit and Quantitative Risk Analysts

With both international and domestic private practice law firms operating in an increasingly competitive environment, the Robert Walters legal recruitment team will also focus on providing bilingual and bicultural qualified attorneys specialized in the increasingly demanding fields of corporate and M&A law. 

John McCrohon, Director of Financial Services at Robert Walters comments: “What we are seeing is that a large proportion of Japanese companies are currently implementing globalisation strategies. These strategies are often accompanied by periods of merger & acquisition activity that require the experience of external M&A specialists and compliance professionals to facilitate these deals. Our new legal team will help these growing companies find the appropriate mid to senior-level legal professionals to push their brands globally.”
