Case Study: a mid-sized firm litigation associate achieves a big law lateral move with BCG Attorney Search

Mid-level Mid-Sized Firm Litigation Associate Move to Big Law

A mid-sized law firm litigation associate faced the challenge of transitioning into a more competitive big law firm to receive market-rate compensation. Despite having stellar credentials and extensive trial experience from her current role, she found the New York big law market highly competitive for laterals. She engaged the services of BCG Attorney Search to facilitate this difficult move.

BCG Attorney Search leveraged its market connections and understanding to get the candidate numerous interviews at top big law firms. Her unique hands-on litigation experience from the mid-sized firm proved to be a strong asset. The solution resulted in her receiving and accepting a competitive offer at market pay for a fourth-year associate from a strong top firm. BCG Attorney Search successfully enabled her transition into big law, a move that is often difficult without prior big law experience.
