About |
CLC was established to serve the rapidly growing market for legal professionals in China. CLC has two key differentiators which enable us to serve our clients in China to the highest levels. Firstly, the company is based in Beijing and Shanghai (unlike many of its competitors which have no China office). Secondly, the company can draw on the deep resources of its international network to help deliver success for our clients.
CLC is the China arm of Mlegal Consulting Co. (www.mlegalconsulting.com ), a US based legal recruiting firm founded by Joe Macrae who is a 20 year veteran in the UK and US legal recruitment market. The office is managed by Frazer Xia, a senior management professional with an extensive network in China’s legal circles. CLC specializes in placing lawyers for corporations and law firms, including counsels, general counsels, partners and associates.
Why will CLC help you get the best results on your legal search? We believe the answers include:
Focus: We focus on legal recruiting only. We therefore bring deeper market knowledge than a full service recruitment firm which handles sporadic legal searches
On-the-ground: We are immersed in the local market. We do not just cover the market from an overseas base. Instead of just making trips and phone calls, we live with our clients and candidates side by side. We know what our clients want and what will motivate our candidates to move. We currently have an office in Beijing and will soon open an office in Shanghai.
High Quality : We focus on the upper echelons of the legal market. Our typical clients are top US, UK and other international law firms as well as Fortune 500 and other major international companies in China
Our typical candidates are:
Partners who might be moving within the local market as well as the increasing numbers of partners in the US and Europe who are keen to explore opportunities to move to China. Lawyers who are currently general counsels to multinational companies, whether in China or elsewhere in the world, look to work in the region. US/UK/HK licensed 2-7 year associates, moving to or laterally within China
Senior PRC lawyers who are considering a move to an international firm or to an in-house role at a top company.
International: We are the first specialist legal recruiter based in mainland China from the US. We have an international network in place spanning the US, UK and HK through which we can pool resources to work jointly on our clients’ recruitment needs. This allows our cross-border searches to be quick, efficient and effective. For more information about our operations in the US, please visit www.mlegalconsulting.com.
We also differentiate ourselves from our competition by the professionalism of our recruiters, our market knowledge, the effectiveness of our recruitment process, and the accountability we offer to our clients at every stage in a search.
