Founded in 1982, Major, Lindsey & Africa recruits the best legal talent for the finest organizations worldwide. Our 70+ recruiters, based in 15 U.S. cities, London and Hong Kong, work in three practice groups: partner search (retained and contingent); in house search (commerce and industry and financial services) and associate search/placement. We combine executive search methodology with database search, networking, web advertising to find lawyers who are both a technical and cultural fit for our clients. By successfully closing searches efficiently and professionally for more than twenty years, Major, Lindsey & Africa has earned its reputation as being "in a league apart from other legal headhunting firms" (American Lawyer).
Our Values:
Integrity: We operate ethically, honestly and in the best interests of our clients and candidates.
Quality: We are known for our reliability, responsiveness, expertise, professionalism and empathy.
Respect: We respect our candidates, clients and colleagues as people and professionals.
Diversity: Major, Lindsey & Africa offers today's organizations direct access to the kind of talent needed to meet their strategic objectives. We emphasize a proactive approach to recruiting which, over the course of more than two decades of professional search service, has produced an incomparable pool of diversity candidates. Our own team reflects our commitment to diversity.
What Separates Us:
Skilled recruiters. Collectively, our recruiters have experienced many different facets of the legal world, nearly all have practiced law in major law firms or corporations or have gone to university with lawyers and (in some cases) are even married to them. Our recruiters contribute to the profession in ways other than recruiting. For example, they participate in the discussion of issues that affect the profession and speak and write regularly on topics such as the globalizing legal market, staffing of global law departments, retention and evaluation, women in law, and mentoring. Our presentations at the last four conferences of the International Bar Association and longstanding relationships with the American Corporate Counsel in the U.S., and Europe, and the Hong Kong Corporate Counsel associationi n Asia strengthen the rich institutional knowledge base that we continue to build everyday.
Geographic coverage. MLA's geographic reach is second to no other legal search firm. Combined with our database of 100,000+ attorneys, whose careers we have tracked across borders, our global network enables us to close searches almost anywhere in the world.
Experience. With more than two decades of experience, we have done a variety of searches in most sectors and as many cities. We have recruited General Counsels and mid-level attorneys for a range of companies from Fortune 500 and global investment banks to Silicon Valley start-ups. Our law firm work is both client (retained) and candidate (contingent) led, spanning global mergers, partner and team acquisitions, advertised campaigns, individual counseling and placement.
