Dimitri Mastrocola’s Summary

I am one of the leading financial services legal recruiters on Wall Street.

My focus is on recruiting general counsels, chief compliance officers and other senior attorneys for clients in the financial services sector, including alternative asset management firms, broker-dealers and banks. I also place partners, counsels and senior associates at premier law firms in New York and around the world.

I am a former corporate lawyer who brings over 15 years of law firm and in-house legal experience to executive search. I became a legal recruiter after holding positions as an M&A associate with Fasken Martineau in Montreal, a senior finance associate with Shearman & Sterling in New York and an Associate General Counsel with Citigroup’s corporate and investment bank.

My representative placements include:

General Counsel
- Evercore Wealth Management
- Alden Global Capital
- Eurand (a Warburg Pincus portfolio company)

Chief Compliance Officer
- Sandelman Partners LP
- Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co. FSB
- Evercore Partners Inc.

Associate General Counsel
- Fortress Investment Group
- Eton Park Capital Management
- Barclays Capital
- Evercore Partners
- Macquarie Group
- Mizuho Capital Markets Corporation
- Ospraie Management LLC
- Merrill Lynch
- Bear Stearns
- USI Holdings
- Parsons Brinckerhoff

In addition, I have placed partners, counsel and senior associates with premier law firms in New York and overseas.

I am adept at learning and understanding the professional requirements, needs, objectives, and philosophies of both my clients and attorney candidates. In so doing, I draw upon my unique combination of law firm and investment bank legal experience and strategic personal coaching skills. My singular aim is to help both parties achieve long-term and mutually beneficial professional relationships.

I received my law degree from McGill University in 1989.
