Over the past decade, Lateral Link has become a preeminent player in the legal recruiting industry. As we continue to grow our global footprint, we are looking to add recruiters to our California team.
Our Success
Lateral Link has made thousands of placements with almost every Am Law 200 law firm. Not only do we have personal relationships with decision-makers at the biggest and best firms in the nation, but our exclusives with — and insider information about — some of the most desirable law firms separate us from all of our competitors in the field. We are a market leader, not a follower.
Moreover, we hire only the best. Almost all of our recruiters are law school graduates with extensive Biglaw experience. Here are a few of the law schools we represent:
- Yale Law School
- Harvard Law School
- NYU School of Law
- University of Pennsylvania School of Law
- University of Virginia School of Law
- Georgetown University Law Center
- Vanderbilt Law School
- Washington University School of Law
- USC Gould School of Law
- Boston College Law School
- Emory University School of Law
And here are some of the law firms where we have worked:
- Akin Gump
- Cahill Gordon
- Cleary Gottlieb
- Fried Frank
- Gibson Dunn
- Irell & Manella
- Jones Day
- Kirkland & Ellis
- Mayer Brown
- McGuireWoods
- Milbank
- Morrison & Foerster
- Pillsbury Winthrop
- Quinn Emanuel
- Wachtell Lipton
- Weil Gotshal
- White & Case
- Winston & Strawn
Highest Compensation in Our Industry
We understand that hiring and retaining the best legal recruiters requires spreading the wealth. Not only do you deserve it, but you should demand it. Lateral Link’s recruiters earn 50-85 percent above the market. Also, our Principals partake in real profit sharing. Our compensation formula favors hard workers and high earners, so the more you make, the more you keep. Here’s a preview below of our compensation structure, not including bonuses and profit sharing:
Teamwork & Culture
If you have to define the legal recruiting industry, you would probably say it is a “dog eat dog world.” At Lateral Link, our recruiters find that working together and collaborating on searches give us an edge over our regional and national competition.
For those of you already in recruiting, if you don’t have access to decisionmakers and your brand isn’t opening the door in a meaningful way, why are you bringing more to a platform than what you are giving? We encourage you to look at the contributions you make. Is your platform really helping you?
Many Perks
We know the business aspect is important, but we also like to have fun at Lateral Link. We believe it is important to bring all of our colleagues together, from across the nation, at company retreats and other team-building events.
