How do you find technology, data and privacy lawyers in San Francisco who are not actively looking?
Our research function continuously maps the San Francisco technology, data and privacy bar — covering practices at every seniority level. Because we track lateral history, deal flow and regulatory focus over time, we can identify lawyers who are high-fit and potentially receptive well before they post a profile or engage a recruiter.
What types of mandates do you handle in the San Francisco technology and privacy market?
We work across the full spectrum: law firm partner and associate searches, general counsel and deputy GC placements, and specialist privacy counsel roles for companies that operate in regulated technology sectors. Searches often involve candidates with deep CPRA, AI governance or cybersecurity incident-response backgrounds, reflecting the specific regulatory environment in this market.
Why does technology, data and privacy recruitment in San Francisco require a specialist approach?
The talent pool is dense but not liquid — most of the strongest practitioners are fully engaged and not visible through conventional channels. Effective recruitment here requires granular market knowledge: understanding who holds the relevant practice combinations, which moves are plausible, and how to position an opportunity credibly to a lawyer who is not looking. Generic search methods consistently miss the best candidates.
