Lexitas Finds Attorneys for AM Law 100 Firm

The Deputy Chair of an Am Law 100 firm needed 8 contract attorneys to handle work related to IPOs, secondaries, shelf takedowns, & SPAC

Scenario

The Deputy Chair of Capital Markets and Corporate Law of an Am Law 100 firm needed 8 contract attorneys for a 6-week assignment to support a project they had at hand. What started as a 6-week need ended up running for over a year. The attorneys handled work relating to IPOs, secondaries, shelf takedowns, SPAC, and matters of the like.

Challenge

The firm had budgetary issues and required high-level talent at lower costs. A top concern was finding qualified talent and onboarding them as fast as possible to support the immediate work. This project required Lexitas to find candidates with sophisticated large-firm backgrounds in a niche area who were also available for a temporary assignment.

Solution

The Lexitas team conferred regularly with the client from the start of the project and throughout the search. We prioritized understanding what experience was most critical to the client and adjusted our search as needed as the project continued. Our recruiting team aggressively sourced candidates using tools that included our database, LinkedIn, other job boards, and networking. Because our recruiters understood the nuances of the search, we connected with qualified candidates and encouraged them to pursue the opportunity.

Outcome

Lexitas sourced quality candidates, solving the firm’s staffing shortage, which helped solve their client issue. While it would have taken months for the firm to source its own candidates, Lexitas’ recruiting team, led by an industry veteran with decades of experience, found quality candidates within two weeks. The firm was so impressed with the quality work of our contract attorneys that multiple were hired for full-time positions.
