Case Study: a Pharma IP Associate Lands a Senior Role in the Northeast with BCG Attorney Search

Senior Pharma IP Associate Moves to a Larger Firm in a New Market

The customer, a senior intellectual property associate at a small law firm, wanted to relocate to the Northeast and find a new position at a larger, more stable firm that would support her client development efforts. She faced challenges due to a lack of portable business and initial difficulties gaining traction in her target job market. She engaged the vendor, BCG Attorney Search, for legal recruiting services to navigate this career transition.

BCG Attorney Search expanded the candidate's search to multiple markets, ultimately identifying a new opportunity with a Midwest-based firm opening a Northeast office. The vendor successfully negotiated a higher salary and relocation costs for the candidate by effectively communicating the differences in cost of living. As a result, the candidate secured a senior associate position at a larger firm with a generous benefits package, achieving her goals of relocation and a more supportive platform for her practice.
