Why Kingswood Global?

Our track record is testament to our ability to identify, source and deliver high quality partners, associates, in-house lawyers and teams, even on hard to fill assignments. Our process is tried and tested along with the ability to think outside the box rather than produce the same old shortlists.

We choose the clients and candidates we work with carefully.

Selecting the best recruiter to work with is equally essential.

  • Credibility: We represent our clients and candidates convincingly and credibly. Our team has been instrumental in brokering a number of high profile senior and team appointments, focusing on hires that add value and last. Our team is led by David Roberts who has over 10 years experience recruiting lawyers. We believe in and encourage complete openness and honesty in all of our relationships.
  • Relationships: We have strong relationships with access to senior level decision makers as well as junior lawyers. Our candidates often become our clients.
  • Top talent: Our proactive approach focuses on the best lawyers in the industry, not just those who are actively looking to move.
  • Successful delivery: Our reputation relies on the successful completion of mandates. We aim to have the highest successful completion rate in the industry and do not take on retained assignments unless we are confident that we can deliver.
  • Candidate exclusivity: Many clients use Kingswood Global on an exclusive or retained basis for specific hires. This grants our clients exclusivity over the candidates we approach for them, improving their ability to hire the staff they want.
  • Confidentiality: We are used to dealing with sensitive moves. We are discreet at every part of the process.
  • Personal referrals: We do not advertise. Most of our contacts are sourced through diligent research, networking and contact referrals. Referrals now constitute a large percentage of our new contacts and this reflects the high level of service we consistently deliver.
  • Working in partnership: Global law firms, financial institutions, corporate entities and the lawyers that work for them, have turned to our consultants for guidance over the years. We partner with these clients and candidates to become trusted advisers rather than just recruiters.
  • Market intelligence: Our market intelligence is second to none and includes information on partner moves, salary benchmarking, law firm perception studies as well as information regarding specific areas of law and the people within them. Our consultants are backed up by an experienced team of researchers.
  • Key positions: We are an executive search firm and therefore do not advertise or focus on volume placements. We do however handle some of the most important and interesting legal jobs across the Asia Pacific region.
