Our track record

Beijing
Hughes-Castell made its first placement in China in Beijing, in 1995, placing an associate with a major Wall Street firm. In the same year, we placed a lawyer in a global telecommunications hardware company and another senior lawyer into a global technology company. Other Beijing highlights have been the recruitment of most of the current legal team for a US technology company, the General Counsel for a household name in e-commerce, the General Counsel for a famous brand FMCG and the General Counsel China for a global financial institution. Hughes-Castell has an outstanding reputation for successful placements in the market and references are available on request.

Shanghai
We have worked in the Shanghai market since 1995, placing lawyers into the international law firms and into multinational corporations such as a famous brand name beverage company, a European electronics company, global banks and pharmaceutical companies. We successfully make placements in Shanghai with major international law firms both at associate and partner levels, for leading Fortune 100 corporations in industries such as pharmaceutical, telecommunications, electronics, manufacturing, infrastructure and for global financial institutions.

Given the good track record we have had with clients in Asia and with most of them having significant operations in Shanghai, we foresee continued growth both for our clients and ourselves.
