CYPRESS REGIONAL GUIDES
Routinely updated, our exclusive guide is your best resource to the premier US and UK law firms in China, Japan, and the Middle East.
WHY CYPRESS?
Excellence. It's the one word we all live by...
Cypress Recruiting Group was launched in 2001, long before the Asian markets stepped into the world's economic spotlight and became the focus of the world's attention. As the first and only US-based legal recruiting firm to specialize exclusively on law firm and in-house placements in the China, India, Japan, Singapore and South Korea legal markets, Cypress has built unparalleled relationships with the Hiring and Managing Partners of top-tier US and UK law firms as well as domestic and international corporations. With our narrow focus and profound understanding of the market, Cypress is uniquely positioned to provide accurate and up-to-date information regarding job opportunities as well as logistical, cultural and practical advice organic to the region.
The rapid expansion and resulting intricacies of the Asian legal markets necessitate that Cypress offer far more than the standard level of recruiting services. The recruiting procedures and points of contact are continually changing as the markets mature, and we rely on our strong relationships to ensure that our candidates are considered by the actual decision-makers. Our team, led by Dawn P. Robertson, is comprised of US and foreign qualified attorneys and several research associates who focus a tremendous amount of energy and resources helping our candidates navigate this complex and exciting legal landscape. We also provide guidance on remuneration such as ex-pat packages, relocation expenses and tax consequences. Such information can be found in the Cypress Guide to the Law Firms in Asia.
Cypress works on international firm mergers, partner and group placements. We also provide consultation to law firms entering the Asian markets including the identification of regional market trends and growth opportunities, conducting market analysis and profiling the major players in the market.
What Sets Us Apart...
- Cypress has placed more associates in Asia than any other US/Asia based recruiting agency and over 80% of our candidates have found their way to Cypress through referrals
- Our recruiters are all ex-practicing attorneys with extensive knowledge of the Asia markets. Our recruiters have practiced at firms such as Skadden Arps, Davis Polk, Orrick and Fried Frank.

- As the HR procedures and departments continue to mature in Asia, it's imperative that your resume makes it way to the actual decision makers in a foreign office--Cypress is well positioned to guarantee that your resume is actually reviewed by the appropriate partner who recognizes that Cypress vets each and every candidate.
- Our intimate knowledge of the personalities and practices areas of the offices also allows us to make long lasting placements and we have an outstanding retention rate.
