Focus

We specialise in placing legal, compliance and company secretarial professionals into the financial services sector on a permanent, interim, contract or project basis.

Our experience precedes the 2007 global financial crisis, and we have weathered Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this post-pandemic era, we have pivoted and adapted our approach to meet the changing needs of our candidates and clients.

The In-House Professional

The financial services sector is a challenging and stimulating environment to work in, and the role of the in‑house professional constantly evolves.

Whether a technical expert or generalist, the in-house professional must be an effective ‘risk manager’ and ‘solution provider’ to keep the business moving forward.

Those best equipped to deliver sound and timely advice should be commercially aware, be able to juggle competing demands of the business and effectively communicate with others.
