Could Michael Jordan have negotiated his move from the Chicago Bulls without an agent at his side? Sure. But did he? Of course not.

As former law firm associates, we know how hard it is just to think about making a move. We know what it’s like to crave change, to want to do more, and to grow in a certain way, but not totally know how to capture that ambition.
That’s where we come in. We’re here for every challenging, messy, exciting moment: from building your resume and supporting materials to targeting specific firms, interview prep, and offer negotiations.
We’re with you every step of the way. Because we know that your next role has the potential to make your career. So let’s do it. Together.

AmLaw 25 Partner
"I'm now at a firm that truly supports me in every way, and has put my practice in the forefront of their strategic plans."
I worked with Karen on a move with some complicated conflicts issues (I am in a niche practice with a lot of individual matters). As a former law firm partner herself, Karen really understood how to sell my practice from the very outset and we ended up with multiple offers. I wouldn’t have done any of this without Karen and I am really thankful for all of her advice and guidance throughout the process.

"Karen is truly a different type of recruiter who genuinely wants all of her candidates to succeed."
Associates love trading horror stories about bad legal recruiters. So when I first talked to Karen, I went into the conversation with a lot of skepticism. Turns out I couldn’t have been more wrong. Karen has an incredible knowledge of a wide range of firms and isn’t just submitting you to the same 5 jobs that every other recruiter is calling you about. I was so impressed with her and have recommended her to every other associate I know looking to make a move.
Boutique Law Firm Founder
"The quality of lawyers that Karen has submitted to our firm is truly unparalleled."
We love working with Karen for the hard-to-find lawyers. The quality of lawyers that Karen has submitted to our firm is truly unparalleled. I don’t know how she does it, but she really does work with the top talent in the industry. Indeed, Karen has placed over 50% of my firm! She is officially our “go-to” recruiter who really treats our relationship as a partnership. And bonus: She is very funny!
