Attorneys are good at due diligence and interviewing. However, most lawyers only change firms a couple of times during their career.  The information on this site is provided as thoughts to keep top of mind.

Our Strategic Advantage

​American Consulting Company was built on the belief that attorneys will seek out the search firm that can best represent their interests. Candidates choose us because they learn we are focused on knowing our markets thoroughly and serving our candidates in the most effective way possible.  

If you are like most attorneys, your job is your life. Getting into law school, becoming a lawyer, and staying a lawyer are difficult tasks. Switching jobs are neither a light decision nor an easy process. We realize the importance of the work we do and take our work extremely seriously. In terms of taking care of our candidates, knowing the market, and excelling at what we do, we believe the results we are able to achieve are unparalleled.

Our strategic advantage is the nationwide network of recruiting partners we have developed over the past 20 years. Our partnerships frequently identify “passive” candidates; highly successful individuals who aren’t actively seeking a career change, but given the right set of circumstances would consider a move.

Firm Mergers

Generally this refers to one law firm merging its practice into another or one law firm acquiring most or all of the attorneys in another firm. Practice Group Acquisitions are more focused than firm mergers. A common problem among law firms is that certain practice areas within a firm are simply stronger than others. An ideal solution to this problem often is the acquisition of a particular practice group from another firm, rather than the entire law firm.

 

Expanding into a new city typically occurs by firm merger, by practice group acquisition, or by a single lateral hire to open the new office. Regardless of the method used, it is critical for the expanding firm to have the right lawyer or lawyers in the new office.

      

American Consulting Company knows the right way to handle these growth strategies. We specialize in facilitating law firm mergers, expansions, and practice group acquisitions. We conduct discreet, but very effective searches based on extensive research and knowledge of the market.  Our experience and professionalism can help find the perfect match for your growing law firm.
