Who We Are
With over 50 years of combined legal recruiting experience - including during uncertain economic times and inside some of the country’s preeminent law firms - we are trusted advisors to law firms and corporations looking to invest in legal talent. Our boutique approach brings the best of both worlds - deep industry knowledge, with the ability to be nimble and creative in how we address our clients’ needs.
We work to move law firms and companies from defense to offense in their hiring activity. Instead of passively waiting for the right resume to arrive, we work together to proactively target and recruit the ideal candidates to advance business goals. At the same time, we work closely with candidates to help them approach the interview process as a true conversation, and to use every tool possible to explore whether an opportunity is a fit.
