California and the other major legal markets throughout the country are undergoing a strong resurgence for attorneys at all levels, both in private practice and in corporations. Our clients, representing the best in the legal profession, are busier than at any time in their history, creating unprecedented opportunities for highly qualified lawyers. Some of our clients focus on practice specific searches or particular strategic expansion. Others are more general in their recruiting, and take a more opportunistic approach of adding lawyers in any practice if the lawyers bring a high qualitative background and experience. For strong potential candidates in a hot market such as this, it matters less what specific job “listings” are out there, but which firms or in-house legal groups best match the candidate’s own career and practice objectives.

For the above reasons, we do not endeavor to provide such specific “listings” on this website, but instead make every effort to take a holistic and comprehensive approach with each candidate. The Advocates Group enjoys a national reputation in the top-tier arena of legal employers and our connections to those employers enable us to maintain detailed up-to-date information on their recruiting needs and strategic directions. Our insider’s perspective makes us especially effective in locating and placing candidates in an ideal environment.
