Leadership Transition
The Challenge
Following a regulatory intervention, a Magic Circle firm needed to appoint a new Global Head of Compliance within a tight 3-month window. The role required deep technical expertise and the credibility to reassure both regulators and the partnership.
Our Strategy
RedLaw activated our compliance network immediately, producing a shortlist of 5 candidates within 10 days. We managed a compressed but rigorous interview process across three jurisdictions, coordinating with external counsel and the firm's regulatory advisers.
— COLP, INTERNATIONAL PRACTICE“They understand the technical nuances of risk management better than any generalist recruiter we've engaged. The speed and discretion were exactly what the situation demanded.”
The Outcome
The appointed candidate — a former deputy at a rival Magic Circle firm — was in post within 8 weeks. The regulator formally closed the review within 6 months, citing the appointment as a key factor.
