Established in 1987, LegalWorks is a preeminent legal search firm devoted solely to the placement of partner and associate attorneys, and to law firm mergers. Our clients include top-tier international and domestic law firms, distinguished middle-market firms, and boutiques, as well as corporations, in the entertainment, private equity, financial services, technology and energy industries.

With nearly 40 years of legal recruiting expertise, LegalWorks understands the complexities of the legal market. Our deep professional relationships and connections enable us to facilitate strategic growth, expand platforms and navigate the next step in an attorney's career. We provide personalized guidance and often present job opportunities either exclusively or before they are made public.

LegalWorks’ business is relationship driven. We have worked with many of our clients for decades or from their emergence. These long-term relationships have allowed us to develop an understanding of the structure, practices and culture of the firms and companies that LegalWorks represents. Consequently, we are able to provide insight into the subjective qualities of each firm and company, information which is key to making the right decision.

We appreciate the importance that a job search has to the overall career of each attorney. LegalWorks devotes serious attention and enthusiasm to each candidate that we assist. Our goal is that attorneys will be placed in mutually rewarding, long-standing positions.
