Case Study: an AmLaw 100 firm in New York City helps a second-year associate find a long-term home with BCG Attorney Search

an AmLaw 100 firm in New York City places a second-year associate in under a week with BCG Attorney Search

The customer, an AmLaw 100 firm in New York City, was facing the potential loss of a second-year litigation associate. The associate was not at risk of being laid off but was dissatisfied with the lack of substantive experience and professional development opportunities, leading him to seek a new position. He engaged the vendor, BCG Attorney Search, for legal recruiting services to find a firm that would provide more hands-on litigation work.

BCG Attorney Search identified the candidate's core motivation to become a better lawyer and strategically matched him with a smaller firm outside of New York City that prioritized early courtroom experience. Despite the candidate's initial hesitation about relocating, BCG successfully persuaded him to interview. The result was the associate accepting a new position at a firm where he could see a long-term future, making a significant short-term sacrifice for substantial long-term career growth.
