Owned and operated by attorneys since its inception in 1997, The Legal Advantage, LLC is a unique legal search firm specializing in the recruitment and placement of high-caliber attorneys and practice groups in all major legal markets throughout the United States. Working on behalf of both law firms and attorney candidates, we have compiled an impressive track record of helping to build law firms and legal careers with effective search strategies and an unyielding commitment to confidentiality, integrity and responsiveness.

The Legal Advantage operates as both a recruiter and a placement firm. As a recruiter, we search aggressively on behalf of AmLaw 100, international and mid-sized law firms to fill specific needs in offices throughout the country. Whether it is a client’s strategy to grow a practice area through lateral partner acquisitions, or a need for stellar associate support, we employ a tireless, informed and discreet approach to every search. On the placement side, we work vigorously on behalf of highly qualified attorney candidates – partners with portable business, entire practice groups, and individual associates – helping them to secure better long term opportunities at major law firms. Be it a need to find the right platform to build one’s practice, an interest to improve compensation, or a desire to find a better cultural fit, we help successful lawyers identify and pursue viable career options in a streamlined and confidential manner.

Our mission is clear – to use our experience, contacts and resources to help build law firms and legal careers. If you are a managing partner looking to grow your firm through lateral partner acquisitions, a director of recruiting looking for excellent associates, a successful partner considering moving your practice, or a highly qualified associate looking for a career change, we can help you to achieve your goals.
