The Challenge
An international law firm needed to replace a long-standing CFO. The Chief Financial Officer was to be based in Paris but would have an EMEA responsibility, including modernising and centralising purchasing and reporting guidelines.
Our Approach
We conducted a targeted retained search across European legal centres, identifying sustained growth and expansion as a key success metric within an international partner network.
The Outcome
Shortlist presented within 42 days. The placed candidate, a successful finance director with an impeccible record of network growth, implemented target operating models that have given local offices clear financial visibility, reduced purchasing costs and organic revenue growth.
