Biglaw Associate Putting Up Cold, Hard Cash For Help Snagging A Husband
Biglaw attorney turns to TikTok for matchmaking assistance.
Eve Tilley-Coulson, an associate in Locke Lord’s employment practice, has gone viral for something besides her legal acumen. That’s because she’s offering a “referral bonus” of $5,000 dollars to anyone that finds her a husband. As she notes in the TikTok, “If you introduce me to my husband, and I marry him, I will give you $5,000.”
Tilley-Coulson says the time is right for her to find a husband, and the price tag she’s put on the service seems fair.

“I’ve been single for about five years now, meeting people in person and on the apps,” she explained. “But since COVID, there’s been a weird shift in dating culture — guys don’t approach you in person, and most of the men on apps aren’t swiping to seriously date.
“So I feel like paying $5,000 for a husband who’s vouched for, meets my needs and is ready for a real relationship is totally worth it,” said Tilley-Coulson with a laugh.
But because lawyers gotta lawyer, there’s a follow-up video that lays out the fine print for those hoping to collect on their matchmaking skillz:
“You get [the $5,000] as soon as the marriage certificate is signed,” said Tilley-Coulson in a subsequent TikTok clip featuring her non-nonsense friend Lara Bahr.
“He has to be eligible,” added Bahr, a lawyer.
“That means he cannot be already married,” she continued. “This can’t be his second wife.”
Tilley-Coulson then outlined her non-negotiables of her hottie-in-holy matrimony, insisting worthy candidates must fall within the age range of 27 to 40, stand 5-foot-11 or taller, boast a witty “British” sense of humor and have strong affinities for sports, animals, and kids.
