We Are Hiring!
A great opportunity for elite lawyers looking to try something new.
Ed. note: This is the latest installment in a series of posts Lateral Link, one of the top-rated international legal recruiting firms
Our law firm division, Lateral Link, and our sister in-house division, Cadence Counsel, a WBE certified by the CPUC, are both hiring recruiters across all of our major markets (as well as 1L interns from local law schools).
Why are we ahead of the pack?
1. Our Team. Our legal recruiters are alumni of top law schools who also formerly practiced at the best law firms and in house legal departments. Our clients and candidates treat us as peers and partners in their recruiting process. From Gloria Sandrino, a ’84 HLS alum (who runs our partner practice), to Sarah Morris, a ’07 Boalt Hall alum (who runs Cadence Counsel), we are a proven legal recruiting resource in the space.
2. Our Reach. Unlike a lot of our competitors, we are large enough to provide the strongest resources (Leopard Solutions, LinkedIn Recruiter, a proprietary CRM and database, admin support, and marketing/business development investment), while small enough not to oversaturate any one market (and in fact have open territories for partner placements, given relationships that span the globe).
3. Our Reputation. There is a reason you have heard about us. Over the past ten years, we have completed thousands of successful placements at the finest law firms and legal departments of major corporations. Don’t take our word for it; hear from our clients.
4. Commitment to the Community. We are leaders at the highest levels in the business, social, and non-profit community. From YPO and the California Club in greater Los Angeles to a legal aid fund at Harvard Law and local non-profit organizations, we are part of the conversation with decision makers who are committed to making the community stronger.
5. Compensation and Mobility. Our compensation system is well above market. We pay 50-70% commissions, plus up to 15% performance bonuses, plus large Principal bonuses. In short, that’s around 50% higher than the other firms in our market. We are not flat, and there is room for upward mobility within the firm.
6. We Have Fun Together. At Lateral Link and Cadence Counsel, we enjoy working together. Our team gets together frequently at conferences, events, regional retreats, and our annual Las Vegas retreat, where we fly in everyone (including our Asia-based recruiters) to celebrate the year.
We intend to only hire the best talent regardless of markets. From Hong Kong and Los Angeles to Chicago and New York, we are in no rush to hire, but opportunistic when we find the right fit. If you are looking to excel for the first time in legal recruiting or take your existing practice to a higher level that rewards performance, then we encourage you to submit your resume to us: hiring@laterallink.com.
