About Us | Our Legal Recruiting Firm
Since 2008
At MK Search Consultants, legal recruiting is more than a profession—it’s a discipline shaped by experience, relationships, and an unwavering commitment to integrity. As a boutique legal recruiting firm, we specialize exclusively in legal search, helping law firms and corporations connect with attorneys who elevate their teams and strengthen their future.
With over fifteen years of experience in executive search, our firm was founded on a simple belief: successful placements happen when recruiters truly understand the legal profession, the people within it, and the environments where attorneys thrive.

Legal Recruiting Is All We Do
As experienced legal recruiters, our focus is singular: legal talent. We recruit attorneys at the associate, partner, and executive level across a wide range of practice areas and industries. Because we work exclusively in legal search, we understand the nuances of practice group needs, compensation structures, partnership considerations, and cultural alignment.
Our long-standing relationships with law firm leadership and corporate legal executives provide us with insight that goes far beyond a written job description. This allows us to evaluate opportunities and candidates, with clarity and honesty, ensuring better outcomes for everyone involved.
