When you're applying to roles in Big Law or coveted in-house positions, you are, unfortunately, in very good company. As recruiters, we've seen firsthand how many well-credentialed attorneys can be up for a single role, and beating the odds usually comes down to being only marginally better than the competition. A 5% improvement in your resume, deal sheet, or interview strategy can make all the difference. And that's where our recruiters come in... Advice from: Sarah Wyman Wallace Kathleen Mon Emily Witt Virginia Terry Taylor Miller John Wolf Konstant Nadeen Shatara Mahta Talani

Ever wonder why some attorneys' careers accelerate while others plateau? The difference isn't luck. It's representation. From premier firms like Paul Hastings and Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, to disruptive startups and Fortune 500 companies, our recruiters deliver results that speak for themselves. "What sets Taylor Miller apart is his indisputable commitment to understanding your professional aspirations and personal values. He considers cultural fit, growth potential, and long-term career trajectory in a holistic manner," shares a recently placed attorney at Paul Hastings. "Taylor's integrity and market awareness make him an indispensable resource to any legal professional." "Working with Nadeen Shatara feels less like working with a recruiter and more like working with a career coach," explains a Corporate Attorney at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP. "Nadeen took the time to understand my personal and professional goals before recommending openings to me... She encouraged me to think long term and was always a phone call away when I needed a sounding board during the process, acting with my best interest in mind no matter what." "Despite being in 'stealth mode,' Allison Hill's exceptional ability to advocate for our company made all the difference," reveals a Series A Crypto Fintech CEO. "She guided us from sourcing through negotiations and onboarding... We would enthusiastically use Allison for future key positions and recommend her services without reservation." "Kathleen Mon stands out as a fierce champion for attorneys in her recruitment portfolio, skillfully positioning their expertise to secure ideal placements in a competitive market. With her strategic guidance and extensive network, attorneys gain access to career-defining opportunities that would remain hidden without her exceptional industry knowledge."

Is your firm's billing rate making it impossible to build your book? "Sometimes, switching firms is the only way for you to get the clients you want. Do you want to be a service partner – working on other people's stuff because the rates are too high for you to originate, or are you willing to give those discounts?" Part two of our origination series dives into overcoming rate challenges, avoiding "Superman disease," and why the right platform matters. "BigLaw firms across the board are all NBA-level teams...Associates get caught up in being on the Los Angeles Lakers, but they're sitting on the bench. You can go to a team where you'll be a starter. Moving to a smaller outfit means you don't have to be an 'insane biller' just to survive." Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz's S. Gregory Boyd insists: "Do not wait until you're counsel or partner level to start business development. That is a myth." While Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP's Josh Beser highlights that "getting out of your office and seeing what you're building changes how you think about the work." Foley & Lardner LLP's Louis Lehot emphasizes that your network grows organically: "I've noticed that when I have a good client, I'll probably have three others who are friends with that client. It's like a mine where you find a vein of gold, and you follow it to wherever it goes." Read part 2 of our Origination series on Chambers Associate featuring insights from our team, Sean Burke, John Wolf Konstant, and Matt Miller, alongside partners from Orrick, Frankfurt Kurnit, and Foley & Lardner to discover how to overcome billing challenges, find your place in the market, and work with a recruiter who serves as your "sports agent who knows what you want." #WhistlerPartners #HappyLawyersClub
