Partner Success Stories
Tax Partner
We represented an accomplished Tax Partner practicing at a boutique corporate law firm. As the sole tax attorney within the firm, he had plenty of work but little time to focus on developing new clients. Growing his book of business was an important long-term goal, but boutique firms have limited resources to support business development. We placed this Tax Partner with a long-term client that recently lost several Tax Partners due to retirement. This match offered a successful resolution to challenges faced by both the firm and the incoming partner by providing our candidate with immediate work in addition to resources in business development to attract new clients.
Bankruptcy Partner
Southern Attorney Search represented a Bankruptcy Partner who was running into conflicts at his present firm. The Partner knew that his firm could institute a more comprehensive and collaborative review of opening new client matters, but the firm size would make that process very difficult. We placed this Partner into an equity position with a smaller regional firm that appreciated his ideas for integrating his practice with the rest of the firm.
In-House Counsel Success Stories
Team Development
We developed a close relationship with a young entrepreneurial Associate at an AmLaw 200 firm. The attorney moved in-house and eventually became General Counsel of a solar company that was acquired by a Fortune 500 company. His division grew quickly; he needed a top-tier team to support the organization's increasing legal needs. Since the company was in a rapid growth phase, they needed a team comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and invested in meeting the demands ahead. After identifying candidates with the necessary experience and skill-set, we narrowed down the list to those with personalities that complemented the rest of the group. By the end of the process, the General Counsel was able to focus on big-picture goals for the company because he built a team with the best candidates available in the market.
