Recruiting Legal Professionals for Singapore and Southeast Asia

Singapore

About

I work with legal professionals primarily for the Singapore market, who are navigating growth, transition, and change. After 13 years in corporate agency recruitment, I stepped into a flexible, performance-based recruitment where I can be more present for my family while continuing to support legal team hirings and legal candidates. It gives me freedom — and I'm thankful for faith that gives me hope whilst continuing on this journey of learning about consistency and resilience in an unpredictable market landscape. Today, I partner with law firms and in-house legal teams on: • discreet lateral searches • senior and niche legal hires • confidential career conversations • long-term talent mapping I value relationships over transactions and steady progress over quick wins. If you’re thinking about your next career chapter — or building your legal team — I would love to chat over coffee!
