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?
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, South Korea, Middle East, and Russia legal markets...
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.
- Having been in the market since 2001, Cypress has unparalleled relationships with all of the US and UK law firms in Asia which allows us to operate as a candidate driven search firm--presenting you with all the opportunities available to you asked on your interest, skill set and short and long term career goals.
Testimonials:
"I had a very pleasant experience working with Cypress Recruiting and Cindy Yang in particular. Cindy was resourceful and reliable from the first phone call and throughout the entire process. She was always there when I needed something, and provided valuable guidance in this increasingly competitive market. I would highly recommend Cypress Recruiting and Cindy to someone considering a position with leading law firms in Asia."
-Haitao Sun (Corporate Associate, Clifford Chance, Hong Kong)
"Cypress Recruiting is a superb recruiting team. Frankly, they are our #1 recruiter - and we will look at candidates Cypress sources more positively than others because, frankly, they have some ability to get the good ones."
-Ken Siegel, Managing Partner, Morrison & Foerster LLP, Tokyo
"Not only did Dawn Robertson find me my dream job, but she was absolutely
indispensible to me in making my transition to that job. When talking to a
recruiter, remember that experience counts; the truly great ones ask
questions you didn't even know you had. The trip to Japan was a long one
from my Wall Street firm, but it was made easy thanks to Dawn and the team
at Cypress. I can not thank them enough. Waza waza arigatou gozaimasu!"
