Legal Search Consultant, SeltzerFontaine LLC | I assist attorneys with their career transitions and partner with our employer-clients in achieving strategic growth | Author
Is your legal career in that awkward in-between stage? You’re no longer a junior-to-mid level associate and you’re not yet a partner with a solid book of business. Is a career move out of the question for you? Legal employers like to hire 2-5-year associates laterally because they have some experience yet are trainable in the firm’s way of doing things and their bad habits are not yet set in stone. And most law firms will happily consider a partner-level attorney who can bring business and revenues to the bottom line. But, what about those in between? There’s good news and bad news. First, the bad news: There will be fewer opportunities for you to choose from. Now, the good news: We are working on several searches for senior associate/counsel/junior partner (non-equity) positions in law firms in a variety of practice areas throughout California. Furthermore, that "in between" seniority is the level at which many lawyers make their first move in-house. But, note that there are relatively few in-house positions available at any level of experience compared to the law firm market. Don’t despair! Regardless of your level of seniority, if you wish to explore the legal market, give us a call. #lawjobs #legaljobs #legalrecruiting #californialegalmarket #lawyerjobs For more insights into job search strategies, the legal industry, and the California legal job market, follow SeltzerFontaine LLC, and connect with me and ring the 🔔 at Valerie Fontaine.

🌟2023 Recruiting Leader of the Year. Helping organizations find experienced talent with custom talent searches.
A law firm in Addison needed a legal assistant with specific experience for upcoming cases. They had searched for a while, and Charmaine found a great candidate who had recently relocated from New York. While the candidate had the desired qualities, their experience came from New York's legal system. This presented a slight difference in their background. However, Charmaine saw this as a potential advantage rather than an issue. Here's why: The candidate's diverse experience could offer a fresh perspective and a different approach to the firm's upcoming cases. Impressed by this quality, the law firm hired the candidate. This is just one example of how Charmaine’s commitment to finding the best fit, not just the "perfect fit," leads to great results for both our clients and candidates! #hiring #jobsearch #recruitment #talentmanagement

Guiding Lawyers through their recruitment process | Legal Recruitment Director | Former Real Estate Paralegal
I’ve been a recruiter for 8 years, but before that I was a Paralegal. I completed my Law Degree and LPC, and then worked at a couple of international firms in Birmingham. Bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to stamp my mark on the legal profession. My legal career didn’t quite go as planned, and I made the move into recruitment. I’ve not looked back since, and I absolutely love what I do now. I enjoyed my time working in law firms though, and I learnt a lot along the way. For anyone at the beginning of their legal journey, maybe my experience can help you. 🔹 It’s nothing like Suits – The show was released when I was in practice and it was fun to dream about what life would be like at Harvey Spector, but it’s so far removed from the real world it’s crazy. 🔹 Get to know the PA’s – The unsung heroes in law firms in my opinion. They’re the eyes and ears of the office, and have great working relationships with Partners. Look after your PA, and your life will be a whole lot easier. 🔹 Get to know the Facilities and Reprographics team – Law firms aren’t just made up of Lawyers, there’s a whole operation behind the scenes. Building a working relationship with these teams will only help the firm function better. One day you’ll need court bundles to be printed and bound at super short notice, or you’ll miss the official post run for an urgent document. These are the teams that will help you fix your problems and get things done. 🔹 Partners are just people – I was so nervous speaking with Partners to begin with, but after a couple of social events outside of the office I saw that they let their hair down just like everybody else. No need to be nervous around them at all. 🔹 If you don’t know something then ask someone – There’s nothing worse than sitting on a problem hoping it goes away. The sooner you share a problem with someone, the sooner it can be resolved. What tips and experiences can you share that will benefit current Paralegals and Trainees?

There’s no right answer here, but I empathize with both my in-house clients and current big law associates trying to navigate a path towards an in-house legal career. There are pros/cons from all sides. I’ve heard many hiring managers say they want the rigor of someone trained in big law. I’ve heard just as many say that they only want candidates coming from in-house departments. It really depends on ALL the factors: role, company life stage, manager, client base, culture… and of course, the candidate. This article just touches the tip of iceberg. What are your thoughts? https://lnkd.in/ek8TteeE #whistlerpartners #happylawyersclub

Senior Analyst-Contracting Service ( Sourcing Execution) at Accenture |Ex- Assistant Manager- Legal | In-House Legal Counsel (Fortune 500 Company)| Ex-Co-Founder at QCLI| Advocate- BCI Delhi
‘The sad truth for most graduates looking to land in-house positions is that corporations rarely hire attorneys directly from law school’ ❓How Does One Becomes an In-House Counsel? 💡The intimate knowledge of the corporation’s legal and business issues gained from the outside counsel perspective allows for a smooth transition into to an in-house counsel position. It is also important to make sure your resume accurately reflects your skills and experience. If a company does the advertising and hiring process itself, the person responsible for the initial screening will quickly eliminate any resume where the level or type of experience does not closely fit what the company is looking for. This person, typically not an attorney, will be looking for key words and phrases in the resume to match those in the job description. ✅ Other than a personal network, law students and recent graduates should take advantage of the numerous resources that allow them to get personal and practical knowledge of the corporation’s legal and business issues. ___________________________________ While learning on the practical aspects will not gaurantee employment, it may open more doors. Do you want to be an in house attorney? 📮Reach out to me or Pragy Jain for more details on the sessions ( Sessions on roadmap to be a Succuessful In-House Attorney). #inhouselegal #contractmanagement #inhouselawyer #contractnegotiation #contractdrafting
