Your next move
should mean more.
A career move is more than a new title or a compensation adjustment. It’s a decision about the work you want to do, the people you want to work with and where you want your practice to go.
There is a difference between finding a role and finding the right move.
We work with lawyers and experienced legal professionals who want to make informed, considered career decisions.
That begins with understanding where you are, what you have accomplished and what you want from the next stage of your career.
Sometimes that means exploring an active opportunity. Sometimes it means discussing the market, a different practice platform or a potential move that is not yet advertised.
The objective is not to create activity for its own sake. It is to identify opportunities worth your consideration.
Four ways forward.
Whether you’re actively searching or simply exploring the possibility of a move, start with the pathway that fits your circumstances.
Current Search Briefs
Explore active searches by practice area and location, with the information needed to evaluate whether an opportunity deserves a closer look.
Confidential Consultation
Not actively looking? Begin with a private discussion about your current position, market considerations and potential career direction.
Partner & Group Moves
For established practitioners considering a different platform, greater practice support, succession planning or a coordinated group transition.
Submit Your Profile
Introduce yourself confidentially so we can understand your experience and areas of interest, including opportunities that may arise in the future.
A deliberate process. No unnecessary noise.
A successful search depends on understanding the candidate and the opportunity before bringing them together.
Understand Your Position
We begin with your experience, current responsibilities, interests and reasons for considering a move. Not every discussion needs to start with an advertised position.
Establish What Matters
Practice alignment, compensation, file responsibility, mentorship, culture, autonomy and long-term progression all contribute to determining which opportunities warrant consideration.
Make Considered Introductions
Where there is a relevant opportunity, we discuss the mandate and employer with you before seeking appropriate authorization for an introduction.
Navigate the Process
From initial discussions through interviews, expectations and potential offers, we work to keep communication clear and the process properly informed.
Your career is yours to manage.
Exploring the market should not mean surrendering control of your professional information. Confidentiality and clear communication are central to how we intend every candidate relationship to operate.
No unsolicited circulation of your CV to prospective employers.
Appropriate candidate authorization before an employer introduction.
Clear discussions about the role, employer and expectations.
Respect for your current professional relationships and circumstances.
Different careers. Different considerations.
The priorities surrounding an associate lateral, a partner transition and a senior legal professional’s move are not interchangeable.
Associate Laterals
Practice development, mentorship, sophisticated files, client exposure, compensation and the longer-term direction of a career.
Partners & Practice Groups
Platform support, portable relationships, compensation structures, team movement, succession and strategic practice fit.
Paralegals & Specialists
Experienced legal professionals looking for greater responsibility, specialized work and opportunities that reflect their qualifications and applicable jurisdiction.
