Our history

Hughes-Castell Ltd was the first legal recruitment consultancy to target Asia and began placing lawyers in Hong Kong in 1985. Hughes-Castell (HK) Ltd was established in 1986 and having been active in the Singapore market since 1993, we opened our branch office there in 2001. Over the years, we have maintained our status as Asia’s premier legal recruiter, providing in-depth coverage of the Asia-Pacific region. Hughes-Castell has pioneered legal recruitment not only in Hong Kong, but also in Singapore, the PRC, Japan, Thailand and India. We have also undertaken assignments in Korea, Vietnam and Malaysia.
