I constantly get new legal job openings. These are just samples. I have placed several partners recently and obtained incredible deals for them!
DALLAS LEGAL JOB OPENINGS
Senior Associates ready to be Partners. Exclusive to me, this firm is seeking senior associates who have $250,000 in portables who feel that they can do better at a 150 attorney platform with lower billing rates and an immediate promotion to partnership. I made a placement like this last year, and the attorney went from $0 as an associate to $500,000 in business as a partner in one year.
Exclusive Recruiter for Katten in Dallas. I have helped grow Katten Dallas into 26 attorneys in just 6 months here. We are targeting partners in their 40s who have solid books of business and dynamic personalities but not overbearing egos. The goal is to find people who want to practice together for the next 15 years and make this the final move of their career. Unlike other firms that are buying books of business, Katten is building a team that is together for a generation. Compensation is fantastic as are the collegial people. If you want cross-selling that benefits you, let’s speak about Katten.
| LITIGATION
1. Your Personality is highly valued. I am seeking two junior litigation associates: 1-2 year as well as a 2-3 year. This partner has worked with me for years and is a family friend. His group is highly collegial, and we want a great fit more than a perfect resume. That being said, if you have construction (law or real world) experience – that is a plus. Good comp with very good ability to make partner.
2. Commercial Litigation meets White Collar Crime: Ripped-from-the-Headlines work. I have previously placed in this litigation section and I have direct contact with the section head. This is highly interesting, complex commercial litigation work in Federal Court with matters ranging into $100 million+ in dispute, often involving “ripped-from-the headlines” white collar crime matters. 2015-2017 grads needed. Associates are counted on to take a major role. Plus, significant client contact is routine. Excellent writing skills are essential. Law review experience and strong academics are a major plus.
3. Rare Large Firm Litigation Need
Large firms rarely hire litigation associates in Dallas – and I seem to be the one who usually makes the placements. We need a 2013-2015 grad, so this is double rare that the hire is for a more senior associate with business litigation experience. We need a great resume with strong academics and excellent law firm experience. It is preferable that you have experience with depos and hearings. And, of course, a killer writing sample. Absolute top of the market comp!
4. RARE Large Law Firm Litigation. BIG MONEY and make partner quickly. We are seeking litigation associates from top law firms who graduated from top law schools in 2015 – 2017. They love hiring from me. A great signing bonus too!
5. Mid-Sized Firm. I just placed an associate at this firm. Now they need a 2-4 year litigation associate from me. Strong comp but very fair hours. One of my placements came over as a second year and then made partner in his 7th year after graduation. |
| TRANSACTIONAL
REAL ESTATE / FINANCE This large firm hires from me so much and the results have been fantastic. One associate that I placed loves this platform and now has a multi-million dollar book of business. Another associate just made partner. We need a 4th or 5th year associate with experience handling acquisitions/dispositions, loans for lenders and borrowers, workouts, and portfolios of defaulted loans. Absolute top of the market comp with reasonable hours and real partnership track. Also, a signing bonus!

Corporate Finance
1. BIG signing bonus.
2. Absolute Top Base Salary.
3. Partnership is a fact.
5. Only 2,000 hours.
5. You will take the lead on deals.
UNIQUE: You will get to “Take Ownership” of clients. You can repeatedly work for the same clients, get embedded with them and take over the relationship.
