Background

GRM's In-House Legal Recruitment Team were shortlisted and ultimately chosen to find a new Chief Legal Officer for Africa's fastest growing bank.

Given our exceptional, global experience, we were delighted to be mandated for this incredibly important role.

‍

Challenges Faced

The challenges GRM faced in this project were multiple.

The client had been searching for quite some time, so a lot of the talent market had already been approached.

Secondly, the combination of skills and experience

needed for a growing international bank, with pan-Africa experience, is more challenging as a remit than an established finance house may need.

Solutions Implemented

‍

To tackle these challenges, GRM adopted several strategic measures:

• Technical Testing

Our consultants ran extensive technical testing on all shortlisted senior consultants.

• Strategic Planning

Alongside the rigorous technical testing, our Consultants assisted all shortlisted senior Lawyers to present their strategic plan for the future of this expanding legal division.

• Complicated Negotiations

GRM's leadership took charge of extensive and detailed negotiations, and successfully negotiated on their behalf.
