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.

Kelli started her recruiting career at a Fortune 500 company and built her business growing in-house legal departments throughout Silicon Valley. She has since led teams at several domestic and international search firms, and, through that experience, has developed a boutique approach that best serves her clients. 

In the fall of 2018, Kelli launched KBF Search in order to bring this boutique approach to legal clients and candidates in the Bay Area and throughout California. KBF Search rebranded and became Consilitas Search in 2021.  

During this time, Kelli's tailored search efforts have moved individuals and teams into a wide range of domestic and international law firms and companies. Kelli continuously works with an extensive bench of partners, associates, in-house counsel and other senior-level legal professionals seeking their next opportunity.

Throughout her tenure as a recruiter, Kelli has worked with clients to determine the best approach to accomplishing their strategic growth objectives. She has a deep knowledge of the legal market, and uses this expertise to present clients and candidates with strong options, and guide them through critical hiring decisions.
