Legal recruiter SSQ is to open a new office in Paris. The French office will be led by Melanie Tremblay, who has worked for several years in the French legal recruitment market.

The firm has also entered into a unique joint venture in the US with Mestel & Company. Headquartered in New York, Mestel & Company operates out of eight other major US cities offering in-house, contract and permanent recruitment services to the American Lawyer 100 firms and to the Fortune 500. 

Gavin Sharpe, director at SSQ, says: “We are very excited about bringing SSQ into the French market. Our wide coverage across continental Europe and our unique alliance in the US positions SSQ well for continued success.”
