Our Story

After nearly 20 years of legal & compliance recruitment in Japan we decided that being independent was the best move for the people we serve and for ourselves. We’ve always taken a logical, customer-focused approach to recruitment – it’s not based on the numbers of CVs sent out to hiring managers, but rather founded on market knowledge, professional integrity, solid methodology and long hours of hard work in-between – all with the goal of trying to make clients and candidates happy. And let’s face it, lawyers and compliance officers are different from other professionals in their options and the way that they think about their careers. Our business embraces those differences to give you customised services. With our intimate knowledge of the market we provide tailored recruitment services and solid career and business advice that you cannot get anywhere else.
