OUR PROCESS:

The legal recruiters at SMR Legal Search are committed to understanding our clients' business, growth plans, hiring needs and firm culture. We know and appreciate that each law firm and corporate legal department is different.

Dedicated to meeting our clients' needs, SMR Legal Search custom designs its searches, so that we can provide our clients with the high level of service and results that we demand of ourselves. Once you use SMR Legal Search, you will see the difference between us and other legal recruiters. Our longstanding relationships and client referrals attest to our commitment to you.

When you speak with our legal recruiters, we will carefully listen. We seek to obtain as much information as possible about the experience, credentials and personality that you require in a candidate.

Our recruiters are available to assist you at any time with expansion, retention and diversity initiatives. Having worked with numerous law firms and corporate law departments on these issues, we are insightful and creative and ready to put our resources to work to assist you in achieving your goals.

Through thoughtful deliberation, we will initiate a tailor-made search designed to provide you with the most qualified attorneys and paralegals to meet your specific needs. Not only do we possess an extensive proprietary database of qualified attorney and paralegal candidates, but our depth, reach and reputation allow us to seek out and obtain candidates who are not actively seeking a new position. Our recruiters have worked at law firms throughout the Northeast, including Philadelphia, Erie, New Jersey and Baltimore, and have extensive legal contacts in those areas and throughout the entire Northeast.

We will not stop working on your search until we find you the best candidates for your position.

At SMR Legal Search, we spend time getting to know our attorney and paralegal candidates. Attorneys and paralegals who are appropriate on paper will be screened and vetted at length to determine that they are indeed a good fit for your criteria. Only once we are satisfied that they are, we will send you their resume, law school transcripts and writing sample.

Our legal recruiters will remain active for you throughout the interview and hiring process. We will schedule all interviews and assist with any questions that may come up along the way.

OUR FEES

You will find that our rates are highly competitive. We handle searches on both contingency and retainer arrangements, and will work with our clients to ascertain which fee arrangement will work best for them. Exclusive listings with SMR Legal Search may result in a lower fee.
