If I am looking to move to another law firm, how should I choose a search firm?
Choose your search consultant carefully. Work with a firm that has a strong network of contacts and is knowledgeable about openings.
Make sure they will provide you with detailed, candid information about potential employers – their reputation, the corporate culture and the firm's history.
Confirm that they will be available when you need them most – at crunch time, when an offer is on the table and you need a mentor now!
How long does the search process take?
Allow several months. The timing will vary based on your schedule and the schedules of the law firms.
How do I learn more about law firms?
Your search consultant should provide an objective overview of each firm.
American Lawyer and Vault Surveys are good sources for information.
Firm websites offer valuable insight.
Websites such as www.infirmation.com provide information. We advise using caution in relying on information found on message boards and other informal venues.
"As a leader in class action litigation, we enjoy a fast-paced, highly visible practice. It takes a special legal search firm to be able to consistently present qualified candidates who can succeed in this environment. We rely on David Carrie LLC because they get it right."
