Our process is built for Miami multi-office governance and LatAm corridor conflicts density, not volume outreach. We open with a written mandate: seat authority versus HQ, non-negotiable prior-employer and Spanish-language client walls, compensation-committee envelope, multi-office scope and committee timeline. Only then do we map the addressable operator set from our Miami coverage and global research base of nearly 1.5 million lawyer profiles, filtered by firm-tier operating experience and known Private Client, Real Estate or International & Cross-Border walls.
Approach is confidential and sequential. We validate interest, decision-rights history, P&L ownership and reason for move before names reach the client. Authority and conflicts grids run early—often before first-round managing-partner interviews—so a late-stage confidentiality wall does not waste executive-committee time. Comp discussions stay inside the firm's real cash, phantom-equity and severance authority; we do not float packages the partnership will not ratify. Counter-offer coaching assumes the 43% Miami leadership incidence our mandate telemetry records across 15 closed searches and plans resignation timing around fiscal close or partnership votes.
Close and integration matter as much as the offer letter. We stay on the file through acceptance, resignation management, counter-offer navigation and a 90-day check on operating handoff. Over the trailing three years that discipline produced 15 completed Miami Law Firm Management Search mandates at a 94% completion rate and a 5-month median timeline. When you are ready to discuss a law firm leadership search, we run the mandate as specialty search—regional authority and walls first, longlist second.
