Case Study: a leading biglaw firm hires a 5th-year associate with BCG Attorney Search

District Court Clerk with Firm Experience Joins BigLaw Firm

BCG Attorney Search worked with a leading BigLaw firm that needed to hire a litigation associate in a competitive market. The candidate was a top law school graduate with firm experience and a recent district court clerkship, but the challenge was finding the right fit and timing the move before the clerkship ended.

BCG Attorney Search proactively expanded the search beyond firms with open roles, reaching out to strong litigation practices and generating interest from two AmLaw 100 firms. The candidate interviewed at both, received both offers, and chose the firm with stronger long-term opportunities, despite it offering $10,000 less than the other. BCG Attorney Search successfully placed the associate with the leading BigLaw firm.
