Kirkland & Ellis has renewed its $50,000 associate referral bonuses until January 2025, highlighting the heightened demand for legal talent amid an uptick in deal work. This substantial bonus may prompt other firms to increase their referral bonuses as well. "Increased internal referral fees indicate that firms expect a rise in the corporate market and deal flow, creating a greater need for lateral associates. We have observed this growing demand through the numerous new openings firms are sharing with Lateral Link recruiters. Now is an excellent time to explore the lateral market and learn about potential new opportunities," says our Managing Principal, Gloria Noh Cannon. To learn more, you can read the full article:

Director @ Lateral Link | Legal Recruiter + Career Advisor | California & West Coast | Former biglaw litigator
Want to get noticed by more recruiters and firms? Update your firm bio. I see too many lawyers whose bios read someone along these lines: “Joe is an attorney in the complex litigation group.” There’s no information about Joe’s practice area, his experience, or his representative matters. Recruiters and firms find lawyers based on keywords in your firm bio. Joe would appear in every single litigation search, regardless of his specialty and expertise. Maybe Joe is a litigator who focuses on representing shareholders in derivative actions. No one, including recruiters, would know that based on Joe’s firm bio. And, more likely than not, Joe’s pleadings are not easily accessible to the public, so a discerning recruiter cannot search for Joe on Google to get a better understanding of what Joe does. With his scanty bio, Joe will get spammed by recruiters for every single litigation search in his region without actually being targeted for searches that would actually fit his experience and interests. An updated bio is a way for you to market yourself so recruiters and firms can approach you, rather than forcing you to go out and seek a recruiter or wait for a recruiter to reach out with an opportunity that aligns with your experience and preferences. It can also cut down on outreach you receive that is of no interest to you. In other words, it’s a way for you to solicit interesting opportunities passively. It behooves you to know what’s going on in the job market because things at your firm can change quickly and you may suddenly be looking for new opportunities. It’s better to understand what’s out there before that happens than to scramble once conditions change. If you want to discuss the market and opportunities that align with your interests and expertise, email me ([email protected]) and DM me. #lawyers #careers #lawfirms

"Not very many attorneys do ____ work in this part of the country. But here are the 4 best ____ attorneys I know that you can reach-out to" From a recent conversation with a retired partner SME. Sourcing talent is important, but referrals are often the key to finding the best fit. Good referrals: ☑ Pick up the phone more ☑ Have the sought after experience ☑ Give referrals ☑ Have valuable market knowledge and insights ☑ Are more fun to place #referrals #recruiting #attorneys

Are your lateral partner hires secretly regretting their move? Many law firm partners who make a lateral move don't have a clear grasp of the unwritten rules of success at their new firms—and their new firms don't have clue about that. That’s a recipe for failure. Lauren Krasnow, executive coach and consultant to the legal industry observes that “The two to three years in which it takes most firms to write off new laterals as ‘underperforming’ is the same two to three years in which laterals fester with concerns that they are (rationally) afraid to voice.” She dissects several problems she sees with lateral partner recruitment and integration success here: https://buff.ly/3VlZLlG Her overarching recommendation: overcommunicate. A good legal recruiter can head off some of these issues by fully briefing their partner candidates beforehand and facilitating communication between the new partner and acquiring firm during the onboarding and integration processes.

Law firms and Candidates. This is a quick read on the Universal Lateral Partner Questionnaire (U-LPQ) adopted by NALSC last year and being adopted by law firms nationally.
Did you know that almost 25% of AmLaw top 200 firms accept the Universal Lateral Partner Questionnaire (U-LPQ) during the lateral partner review process? Does yours? Does refusing to accept the U-LPQ stymie your firm’s success in adding the best talent possible? Are your candidates, hiring partners, recruitment professionals, and due diligence teams stumped by key terms such as “originations,” “realization rates,” and “responsible partner” as differently defined by competing firms, making it difficult to compare “apples to apples?” Most importantly, is your firm missing out on top candidates due to the burden of completing multiple LPQs? The Bay Area Legal Recruitment Association (BALRA), The Los Angeles Area Legal Recruitment Association (LAALRA) and NALSC: the National Association of Legal Search Consultants invite law firm recruiting professionals and legal search consultants to a virtual program on Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 3:00pm ET / 2:00pm CT / 1:00pm MT / 12:00pm PT: FOR ALL LEGAL RECRUITERS: Accept the Universal LPQ (U-LPQ) as Part of Your Lateral Partner Recruiting Process In this program, you’ll learn about the U-LPQ, what it is, how and why law firms should accept it as part of their due diligence process, how to customize supplementary questions for your particular firm, and how it’s a win for all parties involved—candidates, law firms, and inside and outside recruiting professionals alike. Legal search consultants can learn how to best work with your clients for seamless lateral partner hiring. IMPORTANT NOTE: Accepting the U-LPQ doesn’t necessarily mean replacing a law firm’s current system – it can simply be a viable step in the lateral partner recruiting process. Plus, you can take advantage of a standardized conflicts form better suited to providing necessary information. Speakers: - Dan Binstock, Esq. - partner with Garrison - Shannon Davis - Chief Legal Recruiting & Integration Officer for Mintz - Mitch Satalof - President and CEO of Juris Placements, Inc. - Tina Solis, Esq. - Partner in Nixon Peabody LLP, Chicago Contact NALSC headquarters for details on how to join this program.

Oakstreet Attorney Search made it to one year in business! I love what I do, and I can’t express enough my gratitude to the attorneys and law firms who put their trust in me. I have big goals for the future, but I took some time to reflect on three things that I learned this first year: 1️⃣ Your competitors can be some of your greatest allies and resources. I have a better network now than I’ve ever had of quality recruiters to ask questions or to refer clients/candidates, when I may not have the expertise they're looking for. There’s plenty of work to be done, and more roles to be filled than there are quality recruiters. If you want to practice space law in another country, I may not be your guy, but I can likely find you the right recruiter. 2️⃣ A bigger firm is not always a better firm. This definitely applies to recruiting, but I think it applies to law firms and companies in general. Coming from a large recruiting company, I now have more flexibility and autonomy to make decisions that lead to better outcomes for the attorneys and law firms I work with, and less pressure to meet arbitrary metrics. If I’m a recruiter whose value proposition is to focus on relationships rather than transactions, this is a much better setup. If you’re a smaller business competing in another industry, find your advantages. 3️⃣ If you have a big goal, don’t try to tackle it all at once. Just chip away at it, day by day, and then after a year or so, look back and you’ll be surprised at what you’ve accomplished.
