Case Study: Prestigious Regional Firm Secures a Senior Corporate Partner with BCG Attorney Search

Placement of Senior Solo Practitioner with $100k Portable Book with Prestigious Regional Firm

Prestigious Regional Firm worked with BCG Attorney Search to address the challenge of hiring a highly experienced senior solo practitioner with only $100,000 in portable business. The candidate had an impressive corporate transactional background, top credentials, and prior AmLaw 50 experience, but her limited portable book made placement difficult.

BCG Attorney Search identified the right opportunity and guided negotiations with a prestigious boutique/regional firm that typically wanted $500,000 in portable business for partner-level hires. By positioning the candidate as a partner instead of Of Counsel, BCG Attorney Search helped secure an offer the candidate accepted within two months, resulting in a successful partner placement for the firm.
