Best Friends from a Law Firm and In-House Reunite to Grow an Elite Data Privacy Practice

CASE STUDY

Foxstone Recruiting connected with a cybersecurity litigation partner from Idaho who wanted to leave her law firm. She was struggling to find a top-tier trial litigation firm that accepted remote work arrangements. 

Foxstone Recruiting connected her with a firm where we had a good relationship with the head of the Denver office. It was love at first sight on both sides. The candidate ended up having 3 firms that were very interested in her. In the end, she got an offer from her first choice that doubled her salary and made her the head of the cybersecurity litigation team.

The candidate also had an upcoming hearing for a very important trial and wanted to move with her team before the hearing date. We ended up moving the candidate in less than 8 weeks. We also moved her New York counsel prior to the trial and got him promoted to partner in the move.

Finally, the candidate had a best friend who she wanted to bring with her. Her friend was currently the lead privacy & security counsel at a global social media company. We negotiated a competitive offer for her friend that almost doubled her salary – even though the candidate was coming from in-house and so did not have a substantial book of business. 

The two were reunited and the rest is history.

RESULTS

  • Researched top trial litigation firms with strong cybersecurity practices that accept remote candidates.

  • Coordinated multiple interview processes with multiple law firms to obtain a significant salary increase for the partner on a timeline of less than two months.

  • Negotiated a group placement, in which competitive offers were given to the candidate’s counsel and her best friend who wanted to return to private practice from in-house.

  • “Jen was incredible. She listened to what I was looking for and found the most exceptional home for me. She always answered my calls and stuck by me through all the highs and lows of this process. I don’t know how I can ever thank the person that just materially changed my life, not just financially but also work environment wise. ”
