Building the Legal and Compliance Teams That Germany's Best Organisations Trust.

MAM Gruppe specialises in permanent in-house Legal and Compliance recruitment across Germany, working with corporations, financial institutions, law firms and professional services organisations to place experienced lawyers and compliance professionals at all levels.

Our Legal and Compliance team has placed professionals across Germany's most significant hiring markets, including Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Stuttgart and beyond. We work with DAX-40 corporations, high-growth scale-ups and mid-market businesses that need lawyers and compliance professionals who understand the specific demands of the German regulatory environment. That includes growing demand for LkSG specialists as organisations across Germany build out their supply chain compliance functions.

Whether you are scaling an in-house legal function, replacing a senior leader, strengthening your compliance capability or responding to new regulatory requirements, our consultants bring the market knowledge and candidate access to get it right. The roles we fill include General Counsel, Head of Legal, Legal Directors, In-house Legal Counsel, Chief Compliance Officers, GRC Managers, Data Protection Officers and LkSG specialists.

Beyond in-house roles, we work with law firms and professional services organisations looking to attract experienced lawyers with both technical expertise and commercial acumen. Our consultants work exclusively within this vertical, which means every search benefits from years of focused market knowledge rather than a generalist approach spread across multiple sectors.
