Our Process

Collaboration is the hallmark of our legal, executive, and compliance recruiting process. Each assignment receives the personal attention of a Principal as well as an experienced recruiter. We’re committed to thoughtful due diligence to better understand our clients’ cultures, values, and legal hiring needs—and our candidates’ skills and professional goals. We take time to meet candidates, in person or virtually, to assess their experience and ensure the right fit.
