We place Legal and Compliance professionals — from in-house Counsel to CCOs — at law firms, regulated businesses and global organisations across three markets.
Legal and compliance hiring is high-stakes and time-sensitive. Here's what we hear from General Counsel and HR leaders.
Senior legal professionals — General Counsel, Compliance Managers, CCOs — are a small pool. Finding the right person with your specific regulatory background requires deep specialist connections, not job boards.
Regulated sectors demand legal and compliance hires who understand their specific framework — FCA rules, AML obligations, GDPR or corporate governance. The wrong hire is expensive and risky.
Legal and compliance briefs are often confidential and urgent. Most recruiters can't move fast enough or quietly enough to handle these appointments properly.
We understand the role, the risk, and what good actually looks like.
Our network includes in-house Counsel, Compliance Officers, Risk Managers, Data Protection Officers and CCOs — including those not publicly looking but open to the right opportunity.
We cover London, New York and Cyprus, giving you access to legal and compliance talent across multiple jurisdictions, with local knowledge that matters at each one.
Every candidate we present has been assessed against your specific regulatory environment, seniority level and business culture — not simply matched on keywords.
How It Works
We take a deep brief — not just the job description, but culture, team dynamics and what good really looks like for your business.
We go active and passive — tapping our network, mapping the market and directly approaching the right talent.
You receive a shortlist with full profiles, not a dump of CVs. Every candidate has been spoken to and vetted by us.
We coordinate everything — scheduling, feedback loops, counter-offer management and the final negotiation.
We stay in touch post-placement. If something isn’t right within the guarantee period, we fix it at no extra cost.
Law firms and regulated businesses that have hired through Heilsa.
“Heilsa understood immediately that we needed someone with both legal depth and regulatory fluency — not just a qualified lawyer. They delivered exactly that within three weeks.”
“We’d tried two other recruiters before Heilsa. Neither understood the compliance brief. Vas got it on the first call and sent us people who were genuinely worth interviewing.”
We handle confidential searches and open mandates at all levels, from Junior Compliance to General Counsel.
