Whether you are looking to hire a paralegal to work in your law firm or corporate legal department, or you are a paralegal looking for a new position, the legal recruiters at SMR Legal Search are unique.

We know and understand the paralegal profession. Our legal recruiters have actually practiced law, or were practicing paralegals in law firms throughout the North East, including Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Erie and New Jersey. As a former practicing attorney, Susan Rubinovitz has closely worked with and has trained paralegals. She knows the expectations that attorneys have of their paralegals and what skill sets are important to meet the demands of the profession. Stephanie Ristvey is one of a few legal recruiters on the East Coast and Philadelphia who has devoted more than a decade of her career to the education and training of paralegals. Many of whom are employed in law firms and in-house corporate legal departments throughout the North East, including Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleveland, Wilmington, Washington, D.C., New York City and major cities throughout New Jersey. As such, Stephanie understands that law firms and corporate legal departments need educated and highly trained professional paralegals to meet the challenges in the delivery of cost-effective and cutting edge legal services.

At SMR Legal Search, we understand the "gold standard" for paralegal education and training, that is why our paralegal candidates possess a baccalaureate degree, and a certificate from an American Bar Association (ABA) approved paralegal program, or at minimum, have an associate's degree in Paralegal Studies from an ABA approved program. The majority of our paralegal candidates are committed to keeping ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest changes in the law affecting their practice areas and the utilization of innovative technology in the delivery of legal services by attending continuing legal education courses that attorneys are required to take.
