When law firms engage EMGS
We are typically engaged when a hire matters, the market is narrow or the right attorney is unlikely to respond to an advertisement.
Associate & counsel hiring
When a firm needs attorneys with specific practice experience, seniority, location or market background.
Partner search
When a firm wants to strengthen a practice, enter a market or recruit a partner with the right commercial and strategic alignment.
Targeted lateral search
When the strongest attorneys are unlikely to be actively applying and need to be approached directly and discreetly.
