What we do

Lateral partners & groups

Individual partners, counsel, and multi-partner practice groups — sourced, vetted, and moved with their economics understood before you meet them.

Office openings

Entering a new market means hiring its anchor. We have helped Am Law 100 and 200 firms open offices in Los Angeles, Houston, New York, Tampa, Miami, and Austin — from first hire onward.

Associates & counsel

Targeted associate and counsel searches — matched on practice, credentials, and the realities of your platform, not keyword overlap.

How an engagement runs

Briefing and role definition

What the practice actually needs — economics, book expectations, integration plan — agreed before the search opens.

Research and screening

A mapped market and a short list of candidates who would genuinely move for the right platform — each approached discreetly and with consent.

Process management

Interviews, the LPQ, references, and expectations managed on both sides — with straight reporting on where things stand.

Close and transition

Offer construction, the counter-offer window, notice, arrival, and transition.

Engagement structure — retained or contingent — is agreed per search, up front.

Tell us what the practice needs.

A briefing conversation costs nothing and stays confidential.
