About
Founded in 2010 by two practising lawyers, Star Anise focuses exclusively on legal and compliance recruitment across Hong Kong and the wider APAC region. The founding team — Chris and Annie Tang — spent years inside law firms before moving into recruitment, which gives them credibility with both candidates and clients. Beyond traditional placement, the firm runs Yuzu for contract and fractional GC engagements, and SALT for legal leadership training.
