“Paul was a fantastic recruiter. He was attentive, thoughtful and carefully listened to and understood my needs. He also understands somewhat technical matters such as conditions on your practicing certificate very well, which is another aspect that makes him a great legal recruiter. Before I obtained my current position with the help of Paul, I was contacted by several agents, including those from well-known global recruitment agencies, but opportunities he introduced to me always had more merits, and I felt that he took a genuine interest in my future career more than anyone else.

“I have been working as a foreign lawyer in Tokyo for over eight years, during which time I have met over a dozen legal recruiters serving the Japanese market. James Graham, Paul Cochrane and the Just Legal team have by far the best understanding of the Japanese legal market and the unique needs of employers and candidates in such market. While many Tokyo legal recruiters do little more than act as a post box for resumes/job descriptions, the Just Legal team is able to tap into its extensive network and unparalleled knowledge of the Japanese legal market to find the right lawyer for the right role.
