Regulatory Recruiters
We map 5,000+ regulatory lawyers across agencies, in-house teams, and private practice — and recruit the ones who are not looking.
Inside the Regulatory market.
Our proprietary Titan AI maps the relevant field first; experienced consultants qualify it by hand. The figures describe the talent market we cover.
- 5,000+
- lawyers with regulatory experience
Regulatory law sits at the intersection of legal expertise and sector-specific policy knowledge — a combination that is genuinely scarce and increasingly contested. Agencies, financial institutions, life sciences groups, energy companies, and technology operators all compete for the same narrow band of lawyers who can translate regulatory frameworks into commercial strategy.
We have mapped 5,000+ lawyers with direct regulatory experience across government agencies, in-house teams, and private practice. That depth of mapping means we can identify not only who is visible in the market but also who is performing at the highest level and not actively looking.
Our work in this specialism covers the full seniority range — from counsel-level regulatory specialists building out a practice to senior partners whose agency relationships or enforcement records make them genuinely differentiated. Because regulatory expertise is so domain-specific, we approach every search with precise criteria rather than broad outreach.

How do you find regulatory lawyers who are not actively on the market?
Most high-performing regulatory lawyers are not circulating CVs. Our market mapping covers 5,000+ lawyers with regulatory experience, built through direct engagement rather than database aggregation. That means we can surface candidates who are not visible through conventional channels and assess their fit before any formal approach.
How many live regulatory roles does Sartori & Partners have?
We have 568 live regulatory roles across our coverage, spanning 317 partner-level and 251 associate or counsel positions. Mandates in this area are typically confidential and off-market — these are only the roles we are actively able to share. Contact us to discuss what else is live.
What compensation do regulatory roles typically offer?
Based on current live mandates, regulatory role compensation in the US runs $61k–$455k. This reflects only the roles where the hiring organisation has authorised us to share a range publicly — many mandates are structured around the right candidate rather than a fixed band. Contact us for a candid benchmark for your specific profile.
