LAW FIRM SEARCH
Attorneys, placed with precision.
Partner and associate placement for premier law firms.
In 1994, Sandrea Friedman, Peter Goldfeder, and Peter Gosule founded The PeterSan Group, one of the nation’s premier legal search and consulting firms. Today, Talento Legal builds on The PeterSan Group’s legacy, combining its established legal-market expertise and relationships with the reach, technology, and broader resources of TalentoHC’s global talent platform.
We work closely with clients to understand the specific requirements, culture, and objectives of each search, then conduct every engagement with discretion and rigor. For attorneys, that means individualized guidance and thoughtfully considered career opportunities. For employers, it means a curated group of candidates with the experience, credentials, and alignment the role requires.
FOR CLIENTS
A reputation built on disciplined screening.
Talento Legal has built its reputation on disciplined candidate evaluation and a deep understanding of law firm hiring. Informed by decades of practical and professional experience, our approach produces a focused shortlist of attorneys with the experience, credentials, and cultural alignment each search requires.
Many of our recruiters have practiced at leading law firms, providing first-hand insight into attorney credentials, practice development, and firm culture. That perspective helps us identify and discreetly engage high-performing attorneys who may not be actively considering a move. Searches are conducted on a retained or contingent basis, depending on the nature of the engagement.
Partner placement.
Successful partner placement begins with a clear understanding of the practice, platform, economics, culture, and long-term objectives involved. For partners considering a move, we identify a focused group of best-fit firms and provide guidance throughout the process. For firms, we introduce partners whose practices, goals, and working styles align with the organization.
Associate placement.
We help associates evaluate and pursue lateral opportunities that support their long-term professional goals. More than three decades of experience working with attorneys at every career stage informs our understanding of credentials, practice alignment, and successful law firm fit.
