CM Legal Executive Search

Our raison d’être is providing Executive Search and Executive recruitment services covering Legal, Company Secretarial and Corporate Governance, Regulatory, Risk and Compliance.  Our Executive offering covers C-Suite hires across disciplines and sectors.  We fully appreciate the critical importance of having the right leadership within your organisation, leaders who live and uphold your values.

Our aim is to partner with you in understanding your business pain points, the rationale behind your hiring decisions and the urgency associated with your needs. We find prime talent for your business, with our key focus being to ensure attraction, selection and delivery of exceptional quality candidates.  We want you to experience and appreciate the value that partnering with us brings.

Gone are the days when recruitment was merely transactional. In our quest to service our clients better, we need to become, well and truly, trusted advisors to them.  We need to be that sounding board, that confidant, that objective voice.  The ability to develop solid, honest, long-lasting relationships can never be underestimated.

Cathy has over 16 years’ experience in Talent Acquisition across sub-Saharan Africa.  She is well positioned for both Executive Search and Contingency Recruitment (including Strategic Staffing Solutions), delivering and executing strategic resourcing against quality, time and cost objectives. Cathy began her recruitment career with Lorimak, a Human Resources Consulting firm, where she headed the recruitment arm.

Cathy went on to develop her expertise in Legal, Governance and Company Secretarial recruitment before taking up an in-house role with the Standard Bank Group.  In this role  she was responsible for recruitment for Legal and Internal Audit, across the group, both within South Africa and assisting with in-country hires (Cote d’Ivoire, Lesotho, Mozambique and Angola).  Having made the decision to return to the recruitment industry, Cathy subsequently set up her own specialist agency, in partnership with the HRW Group.
