Overview

The Advocates' difference lies in the depth of understanding we develop of you, our candidate, and our clients. This means that we work to find you the type of opportunity, in the environment that is best suited for you and your background. We work with multiple contacts at every client to develop a deep understanding of their organization's history, culture, traits of top performers and other issues. When working with you, our candidate, we go far deeper than the typical twenty-minute interview. If we invite you to our office for an interview, we work with you through our unique Chronological Behavior-based interview to really understand you, your background and your career goals. In other words:

Your Advocate is an expert in your type of practice, whether a support position or Para-professional, lateral associate/counsel or partner level candidate, you can take comfort in the fact that the person working with you specializes in your type of opportunity.

Confidential: When confidentiality is important, our unique process insures that your search will not be compromised.

By working with one of our Advocates, you get the right opportunity, faster.

Lateral Partner Representation/Mergers

Confidentiality, market knowledge, insight and guidance summarize the benefits of working with The Advocates. Making a lateral partner move, or merging your firm with another law firm is a critical time. We have worked with dozens of partners and helped them with this transition. Our process features:

1. Knowledge: We have a broad knowledge of the market as we work with a large number of firms and have met with the leadership of these law firms in the markets we serve. Along with how we get to know you and your practice, through our unique CBI, this gives us an edge in helping you view this decision as holistically as possible. Also our market knowledge can let you know how the offer stacks, up, what you should expect, comparisons, etc.
   
   
2. Confidentiality: First of all, we work with you to limit the number of opportunities to consider. The less people that are involved the better the chance to keep your search completely confidential. Second, we work directly with leaders within each client firm and have established a track record of credibility with them. This allows us to call, without using your name, and measure if there is true potential for a move to that firm.
   
   
3. Unique assessment and negotiation tools: We offer several unique tools, developed through our experience working with lateral partners that help you assess your practice accurately, and work with you and our client firm on negotiating a fair deal, that represents a win-win outcome leading to a long term fit.
