For Attorneys

You’re probably here because something could be better.

Maybe it's your firm, the people, the work, the trajectory, or just the feeling that you should know what else is out there.

But you're cautious. You don't want word getting back to your firm, and you don't want to be pressured into making a move. That's fair.

You want someone who takes this as seriously as you do. Someone who knows the market. Someone connected. Someone who puts your interests ahead of a commission check. Someone who treats the entire process with absolute discretion.

So don't decide yet. Take a call. I'll tell you what I think and what I'm seeing in the market. Then the ball's in your court.

FAQ

Do you only recruit in Miami?
No, we place attorneys nationally, with strong networks across all major metro areas. If looking to go boutique then South Florida is our strong suit however, if looking to go Am Law then our connections span across the country.
Will my firm find out I'm talking to you?
No. Conversations are confidential. I will never contact your firm or share your name, resume, or information with any firm without your permission.
Do I have to be actively looking?
Not at all. A lot of the attorneys I speak with are not actively looking. Sometimes the conversation is simply about compensation, the market, or what opportunities may be worth knowing about.
Do candidates pay a fee?
No. Attorneys never pay us a fee. If a placement is made, the hiring law firm pays the recruiting fee.
Who do you work with?
We work with Am Law 100 and 200 firms and respected boutiques, and with attorneys from mid-level associates through partners.
What practice areas do you cover?
We cover all major practice areas and sub-specialties.

Our history of placements include—but is not limited to litigation (including complex commercial and civil litigation across industries), corporate transactional (M&A, private equity, capital markets, fund formation), real estate (finance, leasing, land use & zoning, affordable housing, construction), labor & employment, estate planning.

Whether you're hiring or exploring your next move, we have deep expertise across the legal field.
What firms do you work with?
