BCG Attorney Search

Submitted by: bcgsearch

BCG Attorney Search is a national legal recruiting firm composed of more than 40 recruiters, researchers, writers, and programmers. We maintain offices in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Houston, Miami, New York, Newport Beach, San Francisco, and Washington, DC. We are the largest and most geographically diverse placement firm dedicated exclusively to permanent law firm attorney placements in the United States and overseas.

Because our recruiters don?t spread themselves thin, like those at agencies also placing legal staff, we enjoy the trust and confidence of top international and national law firms. Our reputation has grown exponentially, as has the success we have enjoyed filling law firm positions throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. Our staff has worked at some of the most prestigious national firms, including Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom, Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, Squire Sanders & Dempsey, Dewey Ballantine, Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, Foley & Lardner, Fried Frank Harris & Shriver, Weil Gotshal & Manges, and Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges. We employ top graduates of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, University of Virginia, University of Pennsylvania, University of California, Berkeley, University of Southern California, and other distinguished schools. Some of our recruiters were law review editors; others were federal law clerks; two have taught law; one has been a general counsel; and another has chaired the recruiting department of a national law firm.

The candidates we work with receive the benefit of a meticulous preparation process, as well as access to the widest array of available positions. How are our recruiters able to deliver such quality service? We maintain an exceptional research staff averaging more than two researchers per recruiter?a figure unrivaled by any other major American legal recruiting firm. Because of our research abilities and tireless effort to represent our clients most productively, we consistently feature more active law firm positions than any legal recruiting firm in the United States.

Our work product is consistently praised by international, national, and local law firms and specialty law boutiques, who rely on us to fill their needs for partners and associates. Not only do our recruiters take time to document their candidates? strengths in written presentations that routinely exceed 10 pages, but their written presentations are critiqued and evaluated by every level of our staff?from our research people to our professional writers to our Chief Executive Officer--each with the intensity one would expect from attorneys used to practicing law at its highest level. In addition, we maintain a word processing and proofreading staff that operates 24 hours a day during the business week.

Since our founding, we have gotten offers for the vast majority of our candidates. We are even prouder of our record of getting candidates interviews, a feat truly unequaled by any other recruiting firm. There are few instances in which a candidate we worked with exclusively did not receive multiple interviews.

Our client list and variety of placements speak for themselves. Within the last few years we have made placements at the vast majority of AmLaw 100 and 200 law firms and countless numbers of boutique and other smaller firms that are off the radar screen for many of our competitors. In fact, more than 10 percent of the placements we make are with firms that had never used a legal recruiting firm to fill openings, and many of our law firm clients use us exclusively to fill their positions. In addition, we are frequently asked to assist many of the most prestigious and well-known firms in the United States with outplacement. Our recruiters are active in the community, quoted in the press, and asked to be expert witnesses on cases involving legal recruiting issues.
As we have grown to become a worldwide recruiting firm that satisfies placement needs of law firms on three continents, we remain true to our founding motto that helped us attain the expertise of true professionals ? keep it simple: do one thing and do it well.
