With 20 years of experience in the legal search domain, SMC Legal Search specializes in tailored searches to meet the specific needs of clients. We engage in select assignments and conduct in-depth searches for top attorney talent across the U.S., catering to a diverse range of law firms—from small boutiques to premier AmLaw 200 firms and Magic Circle firms.
Additionally, we collaborate closely with various companies in their search for in-house attorneys, providing a deep analysis of market dynamics and lateral hiring trends. Our focused approach ensures that we identify and attract the best talent to meet the unique requirements of our clients, supporting their growth and success in a competitive landscape.
FOR CANDIDATES
SMC Legal Search assists attorneys confidentially explore new career opportunities. The majority of the attorneys with whom we work are not actively looking to make a career move. Rather, they are selectively opportunistic and open to exploring new opportunities that may elevate their careers to the next level.
We offer a valuable suite of services for attorneys looking to advance their careers while maintaining confidentiality. By providing support in market exploration and negotiation, SMC Legal Search helps ensure that candidates can make informed decisions without unnecessary exposure. This approach can be particularly appealing to those who are not actively seeking a change but are open to better opportunities.
SMC Legal Search navigates the overall process for candidates with prospective firms. We want candidates to feel supported and empowered in their career transitions.
