Our recruiting agency just had its third birthday. Here's what I'm proud of.
Three Years In: What We've Built at Our Recruiting Agency
Client Outcomes
IP litigation partners placed at growing practices. Associates promoted to counsel. Midlevel associates getting multiple offers. Seven-figure compensation packages. We help firms win lawyers who would not have come to market without us, or would not have considered their firm. Our outcomes lead the market.
Value Alignment
My wife and I run the business together, which lets us align our professional and personal goals. The work serves our family, not the other way around.
Focus and Growth
We started with national associate placements across all practice areas. Today, we focus on IP litigation, with an emphasis on partner and counsel recruiting. We identify the intersection of opportunity and expertise, pursue it, and repeat.
Craft
Our core thesis is that all firms are bundles of benefits and costs. We help lawyers create options, understand the tradeoffs, and discover what matters most to them. That's why we exclusively represent the lawyers we work with: it lets us be objective advisors, selective about who we work with, and focused on exceptional outcomes.
Independence
A profitable business with a diversified client base makes it easier to serve clients well. We don't need any single fee, which frees us to structure the business around craft.
Looking Ahead
We're still small and relatively unknown. But step by step we are executing our mission: create exceptional outcomes for lawyers, with a focus on IP litigation that allows our expertise and network to compound. Over the past year alone, we've seen significant momentum in patent litigation placements.
The business is built around independence, focus, and craft. Those values don't change.
To the next three years.
