As far as compliance recruitment is concerned, Laurence Simons was one of the first legal recruiters to respond to the need for compliance professionals outside of the US. Consequently we have overseen a transition in what had been an embryonic market where demand had initially outweighed supply and organisations tended to recruit from the US or internally reposition their existing non-compliance resources. This has begun to change over the last few years and we are now in contact with an unrivalled and ever growing network of high calibre international candidates and contacts.
Our compliance recruitment reach is truly global and we have placed and worked on assignments in locations including the UK, Switzerland, Germany, Finland, Norway, Australia, Singapore, Kazakhstan, Russia and the USA. We continue to maintain our profile through attendance at compliance events including ECOA and EthicalCorp as well as holding our own compliance events in conjunction with the law firm, Covington and Burling.
