The Legal Advantage recruits partners (equity and non-equity), counsel members, associates, entire practice groups, and government lawyers for national, international, and regional law firms throughout the United States. Our extensive contacts and targeted recruiting style enable us to identify successful attorneys, many of whom have significant portable business, who seek to pursue excellent opportunities at new law firms.

Our law firm recruiting is unique in several important respects:

• We often receive assignments directly from managing partners and practice group heads. This allows us to have in-depth knowledge of the firm’s practice, culture and needs, which in turn gives us the credibility to attract excellent but busy attorneys who might otherwise not respond to recruiting calls.
    
• We are not a “resume mill” and do not bombard our clients with countless resumes hoping something will “stick.” Rather, we do an exhaustive search for prospects who fit the particular profile and then submit only those candidates who are qualified and genuinely interested in the position. We appreciate that our reputation is at stake with every assignment and we strive to make your recruiting job easier, not more difficult.
    
• We understand that the “best and brightest” attorneys often are not looking for a new position and need to be actively recruited. Therefore, we do not advertise positions on our website or elsewhere. Instead, we employ targeted and discreet recruiting strategies with each assignment to find the right lawyer or practice group for our client’s particular needs.
    
• As attorneys with both AmLaw 100 and in-house counsel experience, we are able to accurately evaluate the relevant qualifications and experience of each potential candidate.
    
• Our services do not end once an offer is made. At the client’s request, we help facilitate any negotiations over the compensation package and strive to ensure that both the firm and candidate are pleased with the end result.

This approach has been a recipe for success, as evidenced by our successful track record and the positive feedback received from our clients. If you are a managing partner looking to build an office or practice group through lateral acquisitions, or a director of recruitment seeking to fill particular openings, we can be a valuable advocate and ally to help you achieve your goals.
