Challenge

X required a senior-level attorney with:

• Deep domain knowledge in U.S. data privacy regulations
• Experience advising product teams on emerging technologies
• Availability to work in-office from either Los Angeles or San Francisco
  

The combination of niche technical expertise and specific geographic restrictions made the search particularly complex, narrowing the candidate market considerably.

Solution

Mason Alexander’s US team conducted a comprehensive intake with the client’s senior legal leaders to clarify role priorities, team dynamics, and ideal candidate traits.

We then:

• Delivered consistent progress reports detailing outreach, candidate engagement, and market feedback
• Conducted initial video interviews to assess qualifications, career motivations, and cultural alignment
• Acted as the single point of contact between X’s internal stakeholders and all shortlisted candidates, ensuring a smooth multi-stage process

Throughout the engagement, we maintained close collaboration with both the hiring manager and candidates, keeping momentum high and communication clear.

Result

We successfully placed a Specialist Data Privacy Attorney with the precise legal background, product experience, and location fit. The end-to-end process — from initial engagement to offer acceptance — was completed within 8 weeks, supporting the client’s broader compliance and innovation goals.
