We maintain a current map of 250+ lawyers across 20+ firms, which means we can identify and approach the right candidates discreetly, whether a firm needs a litigator, a healthcare regulatory partner, or government-facing counsel.
Is Albany a strong market for lateral moves in government and regulatory law?
