Not looking at one specific role?
Most of the attorneys we place never responded to a listing. Send us your resume or your LinkedIn, tell us what you would move for, and we will come to you when something fits. No cover letter, no application, and nothing goes to a firm without your say-so.
- We keep you posted on roles that match your practice, seniority, and markets, including the ones we never list publicly.
- You can start with a conversation about the market before deciding whether to move at all.
- Everything stays confidential, and we screen for conflicts before your name reaches anyone.
A note on fit: the attorneys we work with are admitted to practice in the United States. Our clients ask us for lawyers who already have U.S. experience, so we are generally looking for at least a year of practice post-admission.
