MLA's search process, honed over more than two decades of industry leadership, enables us to quickly present highly qualified associate candidates to clients.

Our search consultants work closely with law firm recruiting coordinators and hiring partners to learn about the firm's culture and the specific needs for lateral associates. Most qualified associate candidates are not actively exploring a lateral move; consequently, we rely on the MLA proprietary database and our search consultants' extensive contacts and network to pinpoint highly desirable candidates quickly and efficiently.

In mirroring our law firm clients, our search consultants have developed depth and expertise across a wide range of practice areas. We understand the nuances of the job as well as its requirements. In addition, we actively participate in law firm hiring strategy sessions and regularly provide insights into the "state of the market" in our local legal communities. MLA's in-depth knowledge-base brings extensive practical value to your search.
