Specialist legal recruiter, Laurence Simons International, has announced the opening of its new Chicago office ñ its first venture into the key North American market and part of a planned network of operations across the USA.
The Chicago office, which will work with both practices and in-house departments in the Mid-West and Great Plains states, is run by managing partner, Michael Roche-Kelly. A qualified lawyer and recruitment specialist with over eleven years experience in the sector, Michael joins Laurence Simons from Major, Lindsey and Africa, one of North Americaís largest legal search firms. ìChicago is one of the major hubs for legal services in the USA and our presence on the ground here will enable us to source the best legal talent for some of the most demanding firms and corporations in the country. Having worked with several of the leading players in the domestic US market during my career, Iím really excited about bringing to it the international scope and resources, which Laurence Simons can provide.î
Opening in Chicago means that Laurence Simons International is now represented on four continents with offices and specialist teams covering the UK and continental Europe, the Middle East, the former Soviet Union, the offshore jurisdictions, Hong Kong and Australia. ìThe USA was one of the most obvious missing pieces in the jigsaw,î says the firmís lead partner, Laurence Simons. ìMichaelís appointment and the extra offices in the pipeline will neatly fill that gap.î Founded in 1988, Laurence Simons is one of the worldís largest and longest-established legal recruitment specialists and further strengthened its international reach earlier this year when it became part of the global recruitment organisation, the Greythorn Group.
