introduction of new financial instruments, and the subsequent increase in state and federal regulations governing these and other new products mean that law firms, corporations, and financial institutions are now productively seeking to develop strong compliance departments to help guide their operations and protect them from liability.

In the 1980's when government pressure on financial services firms resulted in the demand for more sophisticated and specialized professionals to oversee and staff compliance departments, Robert Hadley Associates created its Legal and Compliance Recruitment division to respond to these changes in the marketplace.

Within this division, a team of account executives are dedicated specifically to recruiting attorneys and compliance professionals for financial institutions that deal with new products in areas such as derivatives, capital markets, and fixed income.

With the emergence of new products and markets, come new regulations that affect them, creating the demand for more highly educated and specialized compliance personnel to manage and interpret the regulations. As many compliance departments are merging with legal departments an increasing number of compliance officers have legal backgrounds, and they are required to go through the same testing procedures and meet the same qualifications as the professionals they supervise - from brokers and options traders to in-house legal teams.

In other companies, compliance departments have been brought closer to the business activity and have become an integral part of the business unit it serves.

Whether a client's need is for a director of compliance department for a financial institution, a team of attorneys for a corporate legal department, or a paralegal to administer and direct the flow of new cases in a law firm, Robert Hadley has the resources to build a strong base of quality legal and compliance professional talent to support their business interests and ensure the success of their organizations.
