JK&A conducts exclusive legal searches for Associates, Of Counsels, Partners and Practice Groups. Our engagement fee services for client law firms include:
Initial Assessment
JK&A takes this first opportunity to speak with the firm’s decision-makers and hiring authorities to best understand the client's current and, if appropriate, long-term professional staffing needs. We seek to understand not just the client's practice areas and practice strategy, but also the client's style and culture.
Representation
We represent our clients in a manner consistent with their goals and image. As their representative to the talent market, we ensure accurate communication of their objectives in the expansion of their practices.
Candidate Screening
All potential candidates are pre-qualified prior to submission to the client. The evaluation includes a review of abilities, academic record, depth of practice experience, motivation, short and long term career objectives, and personal attributes necessary to ensure the best fit with the client's organizational culture. Only attorneys whose profiles closely match the search specification established by the client are referred for an interview.
Negotiation & Deal Closure
Once the best candidate has been identified and interviewed, we work with the client to close the deal, whether that means advising the client on compensation and benefits issues, reference checking or transmitting the offer itself. As an intermediary, we are successful in getting the parties together at this final stage.
Fees
Our engagement fee agreement is negotiated, based upon a percentage of the base salary and, if applicable, any additional compensation, which the selected candidate is to receive as terms of his or her employment.
