A BCG Attorney Search Case Study
The customer, Venable, a large prestigious law firm, sought a highly qualified patent agent with a specialized technical background in organic chemistry and pharmaceuticals. The challenge was to find a candidate who, despite having no prior law firm experience, possessed the expertise and potential to excel in a BigLaw environment. BCG Attorney Search was engaged to conduct this confidential search and identify the right talent from the hidden job market.
BCG Attorney Search successfully placed a patent agent from the USPTO with over five years of relevant experience into the role at Venable. The BCG recruiter managed a nationwide search, provided extensive interview preparation to the candidate unfamiliar with law firm processes, and persistently followed up over a multi-month period to secure the opportunity. The result was the candidate receiving and accepting an excellent offer from Venable, successfully launching his career in a major law firm.
