Commercial disputes, complex and high-stakes litigation, and trial practice, from regional powerhouses to dedicated litigation boutiques.
Disputes teams rarely advertise at senior level. We track where practices are growing, which groups are hiring quietly, and introduce you before a search is ever posted.
Litigation hires turn on the detail: the court, the client base, who you sit behind and how quickly you get on your feet. We place attorneys who know exactly which of those matters to them.

A senior litigator wanted trial work rather than discovery management, which his existing firm could not offer at his level. We prioritised practices with a genuine trial pipeline over brand name.
Second chaired a federal trial within six months.
A sixth-year associate was weighing a move in-house against staying in practice. We mapped both routes honestly, including the one that did not involve us making a placement.
