For Employers

We support hiring across all legal roles, from lateral partners and associates to legal staff and operational support.

In most cases, no. The majority of searches are handled on a contingent or opportunistic basis with no upfront fees. Upfront costs are typically reserved for highly complex, M&A-driven, or strategic practice group expansions that require additional time, resources, and leadership involvement.
Every search is guided by professionals who have hired, managed, and developed legal teams themselves.
All searches are handled with strict confidentiality. Firm and candidate information is never shared without explicit approval, and sensitive searches are managed through controlled outreach and secure communication at every stage.
