Case Study: an AmLaw 200 firm rapidly hires an in-house finance attorney with BCG Attorney Search

AmLaw 200 firm places finance attorney in 25 outreachs and 2 interviews with BCG Attorney Search

The customer, an AmLaw 200 firm, faced the challenge of finding a qualified lateral attorney for its finance practice. The firm was initially reticent to consider candidates who had left private practice for an in-house or business role, believing such attorneys would not be a good long-term fit. BCG Attorney Search was engaged to identify a candidate who could overcome this bias and meet the firm's high standards.

BCG Attorney Search successfully placed a candidate with a unique background, who had transitioned from a top law firm to a business-side role at a major bank. The vendor highlighted how this experience provided the candidate with invaluable client perspective and sharpened his legal skills. The firm moved exceptionally quickly, conducting two interviews and extending an offer within days. This successful placement by BCG Attorney Search demonstrated a high demand for finance attorneys and the firm's ability to identify non-traditional talent that delivers value.
