How do you find private client partners in New York who are not actively looking?
Most senior estate planning lawyers in New York are not visible on the open market. Our coverage of 500+ practitioners in this discipline means we maintain current intelligence on practice composition, client relationships, and career trajectories — allowing us to approach the right individuals with the right conversation before a search becomes competitive.
What makes recruiting private client lawyers in New York different from other markets?
New York private client work is distinguished by the density of ultra-high-net-worth families, family offices, and cross-border estate structures concentrated in this single market. Lawyers here tend to have highly specialised niches — dynasty trusts, art and collectibles planning, international tax overlay — and the lateral market reflects that granularity. A recruiter without deep mapping of this specific talent pool cannot reliably match on fit.
Can you place estate planning associates as well as partners?
Yes. Our New York private client mapping covers the full seniority range, from senior associates developing independent client relationships through to counsel and partner-level practitioners leading complex fiduciary matters. We size our search to the specific gap a practice group needs to fill, whether that is depth at the associate level or a lateral partner who brings a portable book.
