Finding the Perfect Fit: Partner-Level Contract Attorney

A critical need for specialized Bankruptcy talent

Client Challenge

An international law firm with a booming bankruptcy practice needed to scale up its legal capabilities during a time when bankruptcy talent was hard to find. Cases were mounting, their professional staff was stretched thin, and they needed talent that would match the high caliber of the partnership’s attorneys. The firm reached out to multiple staffing resources to find the ideal partner-level contract attorney to augment its reputable practice group.

Hire Counsel Solution

Hire Counsel immediately queried its national talent database of over 50,000 top legal professionals to identify candidates who matched the law firm’s precise talent specifications and project availability requirements. 

Our teams conducted personal interviews around the country with viable candidates, performing criminal background checks and conflicts checks, and conducting reference interviews to ensure that candidates had the proper experience and the energy and efficiency to meet the client’s workload demands.

We then presented our candidate profiles to the client. Among all the candidates the client reviewed from multiple staffing resources, the law firm hired one of Hire Counsel’s contract attorneys, who had been a partner at a competing law firm.

Hire Counsel provided a best in class, fully vetted professional resource no competitor could deliver, and that contract attorney was instrumental in many of the bankruptcy cases taken on by firm, bringing a unique and specialized skill set that the law firm found extremely valuable.
