    Consulting

    In addition to our recruitment services, we have regularly been retained to consult with law firms on a wide variety of issues including retention, mergers and acquisitions, firm management, strategic growth, compensation structures and lateral integration.

    Our Philosophy

    Legal recruitment is not about sales, it’s about making the right fit. Our candidates and clients are equally important to us, and we strive to provide indiscernible services to them both.

    We believe that non-verbal communication, listening and being attentive are paramount components to a successful search. People tend to do business with people they know, like and trust.

    We understand the importance of relationship building and maintenance. Every person you deal with is a delicate link in a relatively small network chain. We invest the time to get to know our candidates, clients and markets, allowing us to provide unparalleled services and ensure that we work with only the best candidates and clients.

    Who We Work With

    We work with over 500 law firms spanning elite international firms to middle market national firms to local and regional firms, as well as highly regarded boutiques. Our clients are located both nationally and internationally.

    Why Our Clients & Candidates Appreciate Us

    We are very enthusiastic and passionate about what we do, which resonates with our clients and candidates alike. Our clients have grown to depend upon our selectivity and unwavering commitment to quality, and our candidates benefit from our strong market knowledge and our attention to detail across all steps of our recruitment process.

    Some of the primary reasons that people choose to work with Execu|Search Legal include:

    • We take the time to get to know our clients on a professional and personal level. We are consummate relationship builders and we treat people how we would like to be treated. We take the time to listen and understand the unique dynamics of what our candidates are looking for in a new environment, so that we can present them with only the best opportunities for their career goals.
    • We invest time and effort into really getting to know our clients so that we can best understand the platform, the credentials of the candidates that would be appropriate, and the kinds of candidates that will be compatible with the platform. This enables us to do the due diligence necessary to ensure we introduce the right professionals for your firm or organization.
    • We let our candidates begin the formal search process when they are ready. We require express authorization before we will ever submit a candidate’s materials, and to only those clients that have been authorized for submission.
    • We pride ourselves in the depth of our market knowledge - we know our markets and our client’s platforms. Since we work with a tremendous number of clients, both nationally and internationally, we can better tailor the right place to the right person.
    • Our role as a recruiter does not end with a resume submission. Every step of the entire process must be given the same amount of effort, detail and consideration.
    • Our recruiters are well-trained, seasoned professionals of the highest caliber. We provide superior training, ensuring every professional you encounter at our firm is knowledgeable, connected and well-versed in their respective industry.
    • We work with quality instead of quantity, and never compromise on this philosophy. We are very selective about the candidates we work with, limiting our “talent pool” of prospective candidates to a select group of attorneys, hailing exclusively from top-tier law firms and law schools. We can promise you the highest quality attorneys, capable of meeting your standards and expectations. From their pedigrees to their personalities, we know that you will consistently agree.
