Leverage our expertise.

You need a legal recruitment search partner you can trust with your most important hires. Our legal recruiting consultants have conducted thousands of searches, at all levels of seniority, for both law firms and corporations nationwide. We work with Fortune 500 companies, start-ups, bulge bracket investment banks, alternative asset managers, and AmLaw 100, 200 and boutique law firms.

We listen.

We are different from other executive legal search firms. Communication from the outset is vital. At the start of every search, we sit down with you to identify the key needs and qualifications for your hire — based on organizational goals, core values, and the technical skills required to excel in the particular role at your organization. Understanding your definition of success informs every subsequent step of the legal search process.

We strategize.

Every search is customized. As your trusted legal recruiter, we identify your target candidate pool, understanding that some of the most qualified candidates are not actively looking, and design outreach that reflects your organization’s unique qualities. We always take a personalized approach to ensure we find the right candidate for your legal services.

We deliver.

Leveraging our extensive network, our legal recruiters deliver a top-tier and diverse slate of candidates. But the work doesn’t stop there. Our team uses real-time market feedback to adjust our search process, optimizing for both competitive outreach and hiring. From initial strategy calls to successful onboarding, our legal recruitment consultants remain active, creative partners every step of the way.

Clients turn to us time and again for their most important hires--and refer their friends and colleagues. Our legal recruiters build relationships that last.  No matter what type of position you are looking to fill, we are confident that our team of legal recruitment professionals will be able to find the right legal talent for your firm.
