We’ll help you land your dream job. 

Every attorney has unique interests, priorities, and aspirations – in their careers and in their daily lives. Our expert legal recruiters know the value of open and frequent communication. They take the time to get to know candidates on a personal level, partnering with them every step of the way. This highly collaborative approach enables us to offer each candidate the exact guidance, advice, and support they need at every stage, ensuring that they land not only a dream job, but their dream job.

We know the legal market, and we know the individual law firms in your market – their culture, their practices, their platform,  their vision. 

We regularly engage with law firm leaders and decision-makers (managing partners, practice group chairs, hiring partners), advocating vigorously and effectively for our candidates and generating new opportunities for them to explore.

We’ll be with you every step of the way.

Our seasoned legal recruiters provide invaluable information, guidance, support, and career advice throughout the lateral search process, but they also help with the basic “nuts and bolts” of the process:

  • Reviewing and revising resumes

  • Selecting writing samples and deal sheets

  • Coordinating interviews

  • Prepping candidates for interviews

  • Getting status updates and feedback from law firms

  • Reviewing and revising thank you notes

  • Advocating to partners on behalf of candidates 

  • Assisting in comparing, evaluating, and deciding between opportunities 

  • Negotiating compensation issues

  • Assisting candidates with giving notice 

  • Ensuring a candidate’s successful transition to the new firm

We’re your ambassadors.

In conversations with law firm decision-makers, we can pinpoint where our candidate’s specific knowledge, skills, and experience would add value to their firm’s practice. 

The trust, confidence, and influence we’ve earned with firms over the years enables us to advocate for our candidates more effectively, thereby increasing the likelihood that law firms will schedule them for interviews.    

We continually follow up to get status updates (e.g., whether a candidate’s resume is being reviewed, whether the firm plans to schedule an interview, whether an offer of employment is forthcoming, etc.), allowing us to provide critical feedback and keep candidates regularly apprised of where they are in the process.

Your trust is our priority.

That’s why nothing happens without your prior knowledge and consent. We discuss relevant job postings with our candidates, but we also reach out to firms that are of specific interest to them, to ascertain whether those firms would entertain an opportunistic hire. Our discreet, confidential approach enables candidates to explore the market anonymously and expansively, without jeopardizing their current position.
