Not every lawyer wants BigLaw hours or bureaucracy. I work with small and mid-sized law firms that care about profitability and people—often under 200 attorneys and staff—to place practice group leaders, COOs, and business development leaders who can grow the firm without burning everyone out.
How I help law firms
- Focus on firms that want sustainable growth, not just more hours billed—where culture, flexibility, and retention actually matter.
- Position your firm as the alternative to AmLaw mega-firms for senior talent who still want high-end work, leadership opportunities, and a life.
- Run targeted searches across partners, operations, and BD/marketing so you see candidates who understand law firm economics and middle‑market clients.
Practice areas we’ve worked with
- Business and corporate law for closely held companies and founder-led businesses.
- Real estate and transactional practices serving investors, developers, and operating companies.
- Private client, estate planning, and family office / closely held business groups.
- Labor and employment, commercial litigation, and other core needs of growing businesses.
Roles we fill
- Practice Group Leaders and lateral Partners in key business-facing practices (corporate, real estate, private client, employment, litigation).
- Chief Operating Officer, Director of Operations, and senior firm administration.
- Heads of Business Development, Marketing & BD Directors, and senior client development roles.
Where we focus
- Boutique and mid-sized firms, often under 200 total headcount, serving corporate, middle‑market, and private clients.
- Firms that want to professionalize leadership and BD while keeping an entrepreneurial, no‑drama culture
