WELCOME
Finn Legal Search LLC is a boutique search firm providing law firms, in-house legal departments, and attorneys with a different breed of recruiting expertise. We offer a unique, hyper-personalized experience with a business-savvy – yet holistic – approach. Helping people is paramount and our mission.
With over 25 years of relevant experience and networking, we know what works in this sphere and navigate the landscape to yield optimal outcomes. Our extensive network yields access to top-tier lawyers across practice areas and geographies, and to firms' key decision makers.
We formed Finn Legal Search having recognized the need for a more effective and efficient process – and we supply just that. We provide firms with smarter, results-driven growth solutions. We provide attorneys with requisite intelligence to assess market position – and informed, strategic support in evaluating opportunities.
We understand the business of law. Equally important, we care about the human beings we work with every day. And we treat them as we would a family member or friend.
Finn Legal Search offers a unique combination of ingredients – all essential to producing the most advantageous outcomes for our partners in the process: (1) breadth and depth of market knowledge, (2) the ability to identify the best lateral prospects as well as opportunities with the greatest upside for candidates, and (3) importantly, genuine care for the people with whom we team.
Attorneys and firms turn to us for thoughtful analysis, honest advice, and transformative outcomes. We value these relationships as long-term partnerships, and view all consultations through that prism.
WHAT SETS US APART?
Our ethos. Our goal is to improve the lives of those with whom we partner.
We share the respective missions of firms and lawyers who work with us. We take on their work on as our own. We offer relentless dedication, sound judgment, candor, a deep and wide network built over more than three decades, and our best guidance.
We believe one-size-fits-all recruiting is at best, inefficient and unacceptably risky. We know our counterparts are busy. Many struggle to address day-to-day work while not losing sight of bigger goals. We focus on the latter with them and for them. We deliver solutions that can measurably enhance revenue generation, the ability to serve clients, and improved personal results via a tactical, tailored approach. Our business-minded focus drives value for both firms and candidates, who appreciate our professionalism, our passion, and our commitment to their success.
We are selective in our engagements and exclusively pair top-tier firms with top-tier lawyers. We do no temporary-attorney staffing or other placements. Our focus is exclusively on making a meaningful, lasting impact for those with whom we partner.
"If you don't know where you're going, you might not get there." – Yogi Berra
We assist firms and candidates distill their objectives. Our experience, approach, and network uniquely position us to then help get them from where they are today to where they want to go.
A DEEPER DIVE
Just as lawyers have different personalities, so do law firms. For a match to be successful long term, we believe "fit" is essential. Thorough vetting maximizes the likelihood of achieving optimal results.
We seek to gain a thorough understanding of each firm's culture, history, management style, market strengths, tiers of partnership, size, footprint, compensation model, partner relationships, and more. We listen for what matters most to our law firm clients and attorney candidates, and why. We account for both micro and macro considerations and short-term and long-term goals.
We're convinced this time and investment is well worth it. Particularly amid uncertainty and change, our thorough due diligence provides comfort, confidence, and ultimately serves both firms and candidates well.
We’re not about churning "deals": we’re about genuinely helping people. We don’t think you can’t excel at both.
GIVING BACK
Central to our mission is helping people. We devote substantial resources and time to assisting attorneys we are unable to represent directly. We are especially passionate about supporting women and members of other historically marginalized groups who can benefit from our experience, knowledge, skills, and network. And we invest the same dedication and tenacity to these attorneys' processes as we do to every other undertaking.
