Staffing & Recruiting

Cowen Recruitment boasts a full-service suite of Legal Recruitment services to support the needs of our clients and candidates.

We service both Attorney and Legal Support-level placements ranging from Legal Secretary & Paralegal to Lateral Associates & Associate General Counsel. Our industry-leading Executive Search function places General Counsels and Lateral Partners with some of the industry’s most reputable Law Firms, Corporates, and Financial Services Firms.

What we do

Cowen Recruitment provides an executive retained search methodology in both our retained and contingent markets. We ensure that each and every search has the highest level of service, from the sourcing and acquisition of candidates through offer management and onboarding.

For Clients

Cowen Recruitment offers bespoke and tailored search plans for each and every new role. We pride ourselves on doing a full market scan on all new searches and do not just cycle through our existing candidates. Rather than pushing a short list and moving on, we continue searching until the role is filled.

For Clients

Our in-house team consults with our clients and provides guidance on the perfect fit for your company as well as a cost-effective solution for your budget. We are here to maximise your company's growth.

For Candidates

Our best candidates do not have to wait to hear from us until we have a job that fits them. We take the time to run a candidate-driven, reverse search to attempt to find and sometimes create opportunities for our candidates. We can bring interviews to you, as opposed to just bringing interviewees to our clients.

For Candidates

At Cowen, we are passionate about promoting your career growth and helping you unleash your true career potential. Submit your resume and let our team bring you your next exciting career opportunity.

Proven Track Record

With more than a decade of legal recruitment experience, we have an indisputable reputation of getting the job done for both our candidates and clients.
