Case Study: a leading side personal injury firm places a laid-off litigation associate with BCG Attorney Search

Leading Side Personal Injury Firm - Customer Case Study

BCG Attorney Search worked with a leading side personal injury firm to place a laid-off Class of 2019 associate who had only a short stint in general commercial litigation. The candidate had decent credentials but was not a standout on paper, and after being laid off during COVID-19, she faced an extremely difficult job market and limited traction despite sending applications broadly.

BCG Attorney Search submitted the candidate to hundreds of firms over nearly six months and leveraged its relationship with the hiring partner at the plaintiff-side PI firm. After interviews and an in-person Saturday meeting, the firm extended an offer the same day. The candidate negotiated base pay and relocation support and accepted, creating a successful long-term match; BCG Attorney Search also noted that the partner was especially receptive because of a recent successful placement from the same recruiter.
