@jowersvargas.com
Vargas Partners (formerly Jowers Vargas) is a leading legal recruiting and career advisory firm specializing in placing top legal talent at leading law firms and multinational companies around the world. With extensive experience across the US, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, we’ve successfully placed lawyers at every level — from associates to lateral partners — in markets including Hong Kong, Singapore, New York, London, Sydney, and Dubai. Our team has also worked with law firms on strategic office openings and partner group moves, as well as advising firms on lateral hiring strategy and market positioning. For the lawyers we represent, we take a long-term, advisory approach. Our work doesn’t start or end with a single placement. Whether someone is actively exploring their next step or just keeping an eye on the market, we help them think strategically about their careers — not just the next move, but the bigger picture. Like a sports agent for legal talent, we don’t just react to opportunities; we help shape them. From confidential introductions at the global management level to discreetly raising profiles with key decision-makers, we make sure our candidates are in the right conversations at the right time. In addition to our work with law firms, we’ve successfully placed lawyers into in-house roles at startups, banks, funds, and multinational corporations across sectors including technology, asset management, consumer goods, fintech, and digital payments.
