National Legal Recruiting for High-Demand Practice Areas

Focused exclusively on Patent & IP, Insurance Defense, and Estate Planning attorneys.Deep market knowledge. Discreet search. Long-term matches.


Why Specialize

Generalist legal recruiters miss practice-specific nuance and misalign candidates, compensation, and long-term fit.Patent/IP, Insurance Defense, and Estate Planning show persistent national demand with sharp regional and firm-level variation.Each practice operates under compensation and productivity models that are routinely mispriced by non-specialists.Narrow focus produces fewer searches, tighter targeting, and materially higher placement accuracy.
