02 How we work

Map the practice first. Then shortlist.

Most firms recruit from the candidates already in their database for a given practice. We map the entire relevant practice market first — every firm and credible mover — using our proprietary Titan Crawler AI, then qualify that map by hand.

The result in any practice is a shortlist drawn from the full field, not from whoever happened to register. Explore a practice above, browse where we recruit, or see our services and industry coverage.

Questions about practice-area search

Which practice areas do you recruit in?

We run legal recruitment and executive search across every major practice area — from litigation and corporate & M&A to finance, intellectual property, antitrust, healthcare and more — plus the specialist sub-practices within each.

How is a practice-area recruiter different from a generalist?

We map the entire relevant practice market first — every firm and credible mover — using our proprietary Titan Crawler AI, then qualify that map by hand. A shortlist in any practice is drawn from the full field, not from whoever happened to register with us.

Do you cover specialist sub-practices, not just the headline areas?

Yes. Each practice opens onto its specialisms — for example commercial litigation, class actions and appellate within litigation; M&A, private equity and venture capital within corporate. We recruit at that level of specificity.

Can you combine a practice with a specific market?

Yes — that is often how a mandate is framed. Each practice page links to its strongest US markets (for example litigation recruiters in a given city), and our locations pages link back to the practices that concentrate there.

Whatever the practice

The right hire in any practice begins with a confidential conversation.

Tell us the mandate and the practice — we will tell you candidly whether we are the right firm to run it. No obligation, complete discretion.
