Case Study: an antitrust associate at a large international firm lands an M&A role in Miami with BCG Attorney Search

Antitrust Associate Large International Firm - Customer Case Study

BCG Attorney Search worked with an Antitrust Associate at a large international firm who wanted to accomplish two difficult career changes: move from antitrust into a transactional M&A practice and relocate from New York City back to Miami. The candidate needed a strategy that would overcome the common barrier of trying to change both practice area and geography at the same time.

BCG Attorney Search first helped the attorney move into M&A at an AmLaw 100 firm in New York, where she built relevant deal experience for nearly two years. After that, BCG Attorney Search proactively contacted about 30 Miami firms and leveraged relationships with multiple offices of the same large international firm, ultimately securing interviews and a strong offer from its Miami office. The result was a successful return to Miami in the desired practice area, showing BCG Attorney Search’s ability to manage complex lateral moves and create opportunities even when the market is tight.
