Partner Recruiting & Integration
In the current ultra-competitive market for legal talent, law firms aggressively look to add partners to grow and improve their business. Burns Recruiting facilitates a discrete process for finding partner level lawyers that fit our law firm clients’ strategic needs. As part of this recruiting process, we bring our deep understanding of the candidate partner’s experience and our law firm client’s business to inform both regarding whether moving forward with the placement makes sense. Importantly, as the recruiting process moves forward so does the integration process so that when the partner joins the firm they are already well on their way to be part of the firm’s culture. Lateral partner candidates are also advised on how to carefully and effectively transition their practice to a new firm.
