Lateral Legal Recruiting · New York

Your next move, on your terms.

We recruit real estate and litigation attorneys for mid-sized, boutique and national law firms in New York. If you heard from us, it was about a specific role that fits your practice. It costs you nothing, and nothing about you goes to a firm until you say so.

If we emailed you

A few things you should know.

I.

Why you heard from us

We read attorney bios that firms publish on their own websites, and we write only when your practice and experience fit a role we are actively filling. The role, the firm and the pay range are in the first email.

II.

Free for you

The hiring firm pays our fee, and only if they hire you. You never pay us anything.

III.

Nothing shared without your go-ahead

Your name and background stay with us until you approve the exact submission going to a specific firm. We never contact your current firm about you.

IV.

Easy to stop

Not interested? Reply unsubscribe to any email and we will remove you from all of our outreach. No follow ups after that.

How it works

Simple for you. Careful at every step.

i.

Reply if you're curious

A one line reply is enough. We send the full details on the role and the firm, and you decide whether to go any further.

ii.

A short conversation, on your schedule

Over WhatsApp or email, our assistant asks about your practice and what you want next, and collects your resume and any materials the firm asks for. No phone screens with us, no calls to schedule.

iii.

You approve your submission

We draft a short summary of your experience for the hiring team. You edit and approve it before anything is sent, and we review every submission ourselves.

iv.

We submit and keep you posted

Your package goes to the hiring team, and we keep you updated through interviews and any offer.

We'd like to hear from you.

Whether you're a firm looking for exceptional lateral talent or an attorney considering your next step, start with a short note.
