Bespoke Lateral Roles that Grow Your Legal Career
Like a diamond in the rough, it takes the perfect opportunity to sparkle.
Whether you know it’s time to go or you just want to explore your options, Foxstone Recruiting meets you where you are. For lateral partners and groups, we analyze your career and personal goals, as well as your portable book of business and billing rate, to come up with a list of firms that fit. This stage could be a few days or a year, depending on where you are in your decision-making.
Before submitting you to any law firm, we go through this list with you and discuss your options. Our legal recruiters are constantly looking at new opportunities on your behalf and as they emerge, we will keep you informed so that you can coordinate through a single representative. We arrange your interviews and provide the necessary background on the people, the need, and the organization. We aim to get any feedback to you as quickly as possible.
We work closely with you when it comes to completing the lateral partner questionnaire. We know your time is valuable and provide administrative support to assist with the process. More importantly, we use our expertise to make sure your lateral partner questionnaire responses show you in the best light.
As we approach the offer stage, Foxstone Recruiting communicates with the law firm to negotiate the best offer possible. We understand the landscape of the market based on your experience and portable book, and what is typical for the legal market (including base/bonus structure and other partnership provisions). After you accept your offer, we are here for you indefinitely, whether it is giving notice or checking in to see how it's going, we are invested in our candidates.
Partner & Group Placement
Associates have a longer career trajectory than partners, so your long-term growth and overall happiness guides all of our advice. Many of our legal recruiters are former lateral associates and have gone through this process themselves. At Foxstone Recruiting, we aim to provide you with market knowledge without putting pressure on you to move faster or accept any particular interview. We guide you through the interview process, helping to coordinate with any existing obligations. Our market and industry expertise provides us insight on the most current salary and signing bonus structures, so we can maximize your potential to negotiate a better offer. Most importantly, your legal recruiter should be your advocate, not just an external representative of the company. We aim to eliminate as much stress from the process, while providing clarity and transparency, so that you can go into your new role feeling excited.
Associate Placement
Foxstone Recruiting has a network of companies we regularly work with that refer lateral openings to us. Success in-house requires a different set of skills than working at a law firm. We provide candid explanations about the cultural differences, the economics, and how these opportunities can shift your long-term career goals.
Our experience negotiating in-house roles also comes in handy at the offer stage, especially when a candidate is unfamiliar with the market for these types of roles. Having someone by your side who knows the in-house recruiting process can make a considerable difference when it comes to locking down one of these highly coveted opportunities.
