Our fees are highly competitive and reflect the value we bring in today’s market. As highlighted in our annual research, only a small percentage of lawyers are actively looking to move, making it more challenging than ever to find top talent. Our investment in proactive marketing and relationship-building ensures we reach both active and passive candidates, giving you access to the best talent available.
The additional investment we make in nurturing our talent pools and expanding our reach ultimately provides our clients with exceptional value. To learn more about our fee structure and discuss potential arrangements, contact us directly.

We keep our talent pools engaged with a wide range of valuable content, including skill development resources, career advice, events, podcasts, interviews, and regular newsletters. Our approach not only keeps our audience connected but also helps us stay top-of-mind with legal talent across the market.
