In alternative asset management, regulatory frameworks and legal requirements are complex, constantly evolving, and critical to a firm’s success. With deep-rooted relationships in the industry and extensive knowledge of the demands on today’s legal and compliance roles, our recruitment team makes connections that transform careers and elevate firms.
Whether you’re looking to hire a Chief Compliance Officer or seeking your next fund formation or regulatory role, we’re here to help. At Landing Point, we know the stakes are high—compliance failures can result in significant financial penalties, reputational damage, and regulatory scrutiny. That’s why having the right legal and compliance talent is essential for asset management firms.
Our legal and compliance recruiters take a relationship-driven approach, offering strategic market insight and resources for every stage of your search, while serving as a trusted partner throughout your career.
When you’re hiring, we’re here through every step, helping you find the highly skilled talent that will drive results and be a successful long-term fit. Speaking of long-term, we’ll be the advisor you trust, whether you’re growing your team or advancing your career. Our commitment to understanding your unique needs makes us a partner you’ll return to again and again.
Legal and compliance roles in asset management demand both broad regulatory knowledge and niche expertise, depending on each firm’s structure and unique requirements. Whether your firm requires a leader to oversee your entire compliance function or a specialist to manage a specific aspect of your legal framework, we provide targeted recruitment solutions that fit your needs.
Our team has deep expertise in sourcing talent for all levels of compliance roles. We focus on Generalist positions that oversee or assist with all aspects of a firm’s compliance program, as well as Specialist positions (i.e. code of ethics, review of marketing materials, or other specialized compliance functions.)
Our legal recruitment team connects firms with professionals who specialize in the complexities of the asset management industry, from General Counsel to Legal Analysts. We recruit transactional attorneys with a focus on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), fund formation lawyers who are experts in establishing investment funds, and regulatory attorneys skilled at navigating the legal frameworks impacting asset management firms. Additionally, we place corporate attorneys who handle general corporate legal needs. Our services also extend to recruiting legal analysts and paralegals with expertise in fund formation, regulatory compliance, and general corporate matters, ensuring your legal team has comprehensive support at every level.
As your partner, we don’t function as an external vendor–we’re here for the long haul. Through every stage, we represent you transparently and professionally with the goal of making the best possible match.
We build with the right foundation in place–that means we seek to understand the layers of each team and each potential candidate. From placing CCOs and General Counsel to every role underneath, we help our clients build entire teams thoughtfully, rather than simply filling a seat.

A legal recruiter, sometimes referred to as a headhunter, is typically tasked with searching for legal talent who may be open to a new job, often at a high level within an organization. They will receive job requirements from the employer for a legal role, and they will work to find legal professionals who match that description. Additionally, they will be trying to match salary expectations, personality, and culture fit between the parties to ensure a long-term fit.
Legal recruiters will help throughout the hiring process, including scheduling interviews, communicating between employers and candidates, and negotiating a contract. Legal recruiters may either work for the employer themselves, or they may be a third party, such as a recruitment firm or staffing agency.
While there are several routes to hiring legal talent, utilizing a legal recruiter can be beneficial to finding talent that may not be as easily accessible. Legal recruiters often have built long-term relationships with legal professionals, many of whom may not be actively looking for a new position. Your legal recruiter should be a good listener with clear expertise on the current job market. Remember, enlisting a recruiter should help you find the right fit, rather than simply filling a gap. The best recruiters listen thoughtfully and ask detailed questions. They’ll not only find a fit that checks your boxes, but they’ll also find that missing piece you didn’t know you needed.
