Stanford Resourcing is an international search consultancy
specialising in the recruitment of legal, risk and
compliance professionals. Headquartered in London, we
have offices in Hong Kong, Dubai, New York and Sydney.
Since Stanford’s inception in 1999, we have developed
a global network that includes international law firms,
financial institutions, regulators, funds, hedge funds,
private equity houses, consulting firms and international
corporations.
Our clients turn to us exclusively to access and solicit
‘best in class’ candidates across a broad range of legal,
risk and compliance disciplines and geographies. Our
consultants have successfully conducted searches in all
of the major cities across Europe, the Middle East, Asia
Pacific and the Americas.
Our practice-specific approach, unrivalled product
knowledge and proven success rate enable us to quickly
deliver recruitment solutions across all levels – from NQ
to Senior Partner (including team moves) and Analyst to
General Counsel. Regulatory, Compliance and Risk are
an integral part of our offering and our consultants are
experienced at conducting searches from Vice President
to Managing Director level (including CF10 and CF11
holders) globally. We are highly experienced at advising
law firms on international strategy and expansion.
Examples of completed mandates we have undertaken
include office openings, team moves, a recent law firm
merger in Australia and a joint law venture in Singapore.
Stanford is structured in a similar fashion
to that of an international law firm, in
that each consultant is practice specific,
enabling them to quickly become experts in
their respective areas. This has also helped
them to develop a candidate pool that has
grown through referrals, recommendations
and headhunting, culminating in a
substantial population of the highest
quality. All this facilitates quicker and more
on-point delivery of candidates, which
in turn results in swifter completion of
mandates than our competitors.
Stanford’s great strength is how
it mobilises its network of contacts
(including many of our clients) to
identify candidates that resonate well
with our existing and target clients.

Upon formal instruction,
our specialist consultants and
dedicated research team will work
together to identify and profile
key talent during an exhaustive
research process.
The initial call to the target candidates
is always made by the relevant
consultant, ensuring your narrative is
clearly communicated to them and the
wider market. We will then meet with
the candidates to provide an outline of
the opportunity and to gain a better
understanding of their suitability to the
role(s). Your identity will only be revealed
if the candidates demonstrate real
interest in the role and we feel that
they represent a good potential ‘fit’.
Once this preliminary research has
been completed, we will meet with
you to discuss our findings. During
this meeting we will agree upon a
short list of individuals, whom we
will then discreetly approach on
your behalf.
Once the preliminary candidate
meetings have taken place, we will
present the candidates’ details to you.
We will then co-ordinate interviews
with the selected candidates.
The final stages of a search can often
prove to be the most challenging,
as the candidates’ employer often
attempts to retain them. Mindful
of the potential difficulties the
candidates will face in the resignation
process, we will always arrange
a meeting with the candidates to
prepare them for this difficult step.
Please note that the timeline for this will vary according to the size and nature of the mandate

specific product expertise/far-reaching
network combine to swiftly produce
accurate information relevant to
the mandate.
Via our extensive global network,
Stanford’s consultants are able to conduct
the requisite due diligence ahead of the
meeting to ensure that only ‘best in class’
individuals are presented to you.
Due to our consultants being experts in
their respective practices, we have the trust
and track-record to operate at the senior level
and to access the most sought-after
talent in the market.
We aim for processes to be efficient and
expedient, but the key objective is to hire the
best person for the role. Our expertise and
responsive coordination of multiple candidate
processes mean we can provide maximum
support to our clients.
In light of Stanford’s focus on building
relationships and gaining trust, as well as
our extensive track record of successful
placements, our consultants are well-placed
to help candidates through the
resignation process.

We offer bespoke compensation reports. Information can
range from information on salary trends within private
practice to granular data points on salaries and bonuses
across all levels within the in-house community.
Stanford’s in-house Research department frequently
produces tailored commentaries on the legal, risk and
compliance sectors, often with a detailed focus servicing
a client’s particular business need or objective. Drawing
upon the consultants’ practice-specific expertise, they
are able to produce a comprehensive and detailed
commentary, identifying and analysing market trends.
At a time when many of our clients are looking to continue
their growth (both domestically and internationally) in
the form of joint ventures, ‘best friend’ relationships
and full mergers, Stanford can facilitate introductions
between the two interested parties via its global network.
