The legal team behind modern law firm practice.
Every firm has attorneys who never send a bill and yet shape how every bill gets earned. Knowledge Management Attorneys, Innovation Counsel, Conflicts Attorneys, and Office of General Counsel professionals build the substantive resources, tools, and risk-management infrastructure a firm runs on. They are the reason a first-year can find the right precedent in minutes, a new matter clears intake cleanly, and a firm can promise speed without sacrificing quality.
Who we place
- Knowledge Management — Directors and KM Attorneys who build the precedent, playbook, and practice-support layer.
- Innovation & Practice Technology Counsel — Attorneys who translate legal process into tooling, AI adoption, and delivery models clients now expect.
- Conflicts & New Business Intake — Conflicts Attorneys and Counsel who protect the firm at the front door.
- Office of General Counsel — Deputy GCs, Ethics and Risk Counsel, and Professional Responsibility specialists.
A different kind of search
These roles sit at the intersection of legal judgment, operations, and firm strategy, and the candidates who excel in them are rarely on the open market. Many are practicing attorneys ready for a role that uses their expertise differently; others are seasoned specialists known only within a small professional circle. Because we recruit across partners, associates, and business services, we see both pools — and we know which firms are building this function seriously.
For candidates
If you are a practicing attorney curious about a non-billing path, or already in one of these roles and weighing a move, we will give you a candid read on the market: which firms invest in the function, how it is structured and compensated, and where the seat leads. Every conversation is confidential and proceeds at your pace.
For firms
Whether you are creating a role for the first time or replacing a critical seat, we help you define the mandate, calibrate it against the market, and build a slate of people who can do the work on day one. The practice is led by our Co-Founders, Susi Shaw and Natalie Rosenberg, both former practicing attorneys who understand what these functions demand from the inside.
