Case Study: a large national firm lands a mid-level general litigator with BCG Attorney Search

Large National Firm - Customer Case Study

The customer, a large national law firm, sought to hire a mid-level commercial litigator, a challenging task due to the high saturation of such attorneys in the market. The firm required a candidate with stellar academic credentials and significant litigation experience who could successfully transition from a boutique firm environment. BCG Attorney Search was engaged as the legal recruitment vendor to identify and place this specialized talent.

BCG Attorney Search successfully placed a highly qualified candidate who had graduated in the top 5% of his class and had extensive trial experience from a well-regarded boutique firm. The vendor's consultant crafted a persuasive narrative to overcome potential concerns about the candidate's career moves, highlighting his upward trajectory. The result was the candidate accepting an offer from the large national firm, which included a significant salary increase from $125,000 to $195,000. BCG Attorney Search facilitated this successful career transition and placement for the firm.
