Our golden rule:

Confidentiality & Responsiveness Charter

All about Confidentiality

Confidentiality lies at the core of everything we do at LI&P.
Operating exclusively within the business law private practice market, we handle every search with absolute discretion. No profile is ever shared without prior consent, and all mandates are conducted off-market by design.
For our clients and candidates alike, confidentiality is not a promise — it is a professional obligation.

All about Responsiveness

Responsiveness is a core commitment at LI&P.
We operate in a fast-moving, high-stakes legal market where timing is critical. We respond to our clients within 48 hours at all times, and for each mandate, we present the first relevant profiles in less than two weeks, without compromising on precision or discretion.
At LI&P, responsiveness is not a promise. It is a standard.
