WASHINGTON (April 28, 2025) – Risepoint Search Partners today announced that Brittany Patricio, former Lateral Associate Recruiting Senior Specialist at Latham & Watkins, has joined the agency’s team as a Managing Director. Patricio joins the firm following an outstanding 13-year career in the legal support industry, with 11 years of experience in recruiting. At Latham & Watkins, Brittany gained a holistic understanding of the industry through engaging with wide-ranging specialized lateral attorney recruitment searches.
With a degree in Psychology, Brittany initially set her sights on becoming a therapist. However, she stumbled into the recruiting world shortly after graduation and found her true calling. Her background in psychology helps her connect with candidates on a deeper level, guiding them to career paths that truly make them happy.
“Beyond understanding the big law industry, what makes Brittany stand out is her understanding of a candidate’s needs on a personal level,” said Karen Vladeck, Risepoint Search Partner’s Founder and Managing Partner. “Her compassion for candidates, combined with her in-depth expertise after over a decade working in legal recruitment, makes her a powerhouse in this space. We are delighted to be welcoming Brittany to Risepoint.”
While her previous experience has given Brittany significant expertise from the law firm side, she is particularly excited about joining Rispoint and getting the chance to build long-term relationships with high caliber attorneys. “Above all, I hope to build the right relationship with the candidate,” said Brittany. “Connecting with one another on a person to person level is what will allow us to find them the right fit.”
