Global resources. Personal service. Quality influences every decision we make, from hiring the best internal staff to delivering highly-qualified legal personnel to our clients. Quality comes from within the person and the organization. It is not imposed; it is felt. It reflects a sincere desire to go home at the end of the day knowing we ve done the best job we can. Our staff, assignment professionals, and direct-hire candidates take pride in the role they play in your success. Quality is about consistency and predictability. Our goal is to bring solutions.

Ajilon Legal receives resumes from four primary resources: direct recruiting, referrals, Internet postings, and our website. Once we determine that a candidate is qualified, we schedule a face-to-face interview with one or more of our Legal Placement Consultants.

Even better, we can manage these logistical processes for you, allowing your attorneys to focus on the case.

Does your review tool facilitate the review of multiple languages? Does it handle Unicode? Our Project Management team can advise on tools they have used for foreign language review and the pros and cons of each. Finding experts with proficiency in specific languages can be challenging, especially since these highly-skilled individuals are in short supply. Our foreign language and legal practice specialists will find the right attorney with the right language skills for the job. Our attorneys are fluent in several in-demand languages, including: Chinese Japanese Korean French Italian Portuguese Hebrew Farsi Spanish And many more Through our connection with Adecco we have over 60,000 candidates nationwide with foreign language experience many are native speakers. So, even if you need professionals with foreign language expertise other than attorneys, we can provide you with highlyqualified candidates often at substantially lower costs than traditional translation services.

Ajilon Legal understands that, which is why we re proud to offer our Seminar Series.
