Finding the right legal talent requires a “peer”

You don’t just need a tax or legal profile: you need the right one.

Hiring the right lawyer or in‑house counsel is too important to be left to chance or to a simple keyword match on a CV.

At Insight Tax & Legal, we help law firms and legal departments in Belgium make better, safer hiring decisions, especially for critical roles where technical excellence is a given, but shared values and complementary mindsets make the real difference.

Our approach

1. Strategic Intake: Beyond the Job Description

We don't just match the headlines of CV’s with a generic job description; we build a "Portrait Robot". We challenge you to define exactly who will succeed in your specific team and firm. We align on the core values and team dynamics that drive performance before we even start searching.

2. Surgical Sourcing: Quality over Quantity

We don't rely on passive ads. We activate a deep, informal network built over two decades and leverage on our initial live market watch covering 2,000+ relevant profiles across Belgium.

We don’t send you a pile of CVs; we present a shortlist of candidates we have personally vetted and who are genuinely motivated by your project.

3. Evidence-Based Assessment

We use a structured process to validate hard and soft skills, as well as cultural alignment. Candidates are evaluated as peers, not as headlines. We don’t just look for people who are good on paper: we identify those who will truly integrate, perform and elevate your practice.

4. Discretion and long-term partnership

We work with a limited number of mandates at a time. Each approach is personalised and contextualised to protect both your brand and the candidate’s experience. We stay involved after placement to ensure the integration works in practice.

Why partner with us ?

We speak your language

As a former business lawyer and consultant in Belgium for 20 years, we speak your language, understand your expectations and your day to day constraints. This allows Insight Tax & Legal to instantly distinguish a candidate who claims to have the experience from one who truly owns it.

We focus on what we know

We are dedicated exclusively to the Belgian legal landscape, a market we know inside out. Leveraging two decades of field experience and a strong informal network of peers across various structures, we navigate the ecosystem with precision.

Access to passive talents

Top performers aren't always applying to job postings, they are busy working. They answer our calls because we are peers and because we only reach out when there is a serious, relevant opportunity to discuss. We furthermore leverage trusted connections to engage the talent that traditional channels can't reach.
