Strategic legal recruiting, built around your firm.
Westmont Group connects exceptional legal talent with the firms that fit. Confidentially, and with care.
We do not fill seats. We make the right match.
Most recruiting is a volume game. Westmont is not. We take a limited number of searches and work each one personally, from the first conversation to the placement.
That means a real understanding of your practice, candidates approached with discretion, and a shortlist you can actually act on. Quietly, and with the care a senior hire deserves.
Three ways to engage.
A focused, strategic approach to every search. Choose the engagement that fits your firm.
Executive Search
Exclusive, retained searches for partners and shareholders. Our highest-touch engagement, reserved for the most senior and sensitive hires.
Contingent Search
Success-based recruiting. You pay on a successful placement, with the same care and discretion as a retained search.
Talent Acquisition Partnership
Ongoing recruiting support for firms with recurring hiring needs. A continuing relationship, not a single search.
Considered, from brief to placement.
The Brief
We sit with you to understand the mandate, the practice, and the culture. The search is built around your firm, not a template.
The Search
A discreet, targeted search. We approach the right people directly and present a short, curated shortlist, not a stack of resumes.
The Placement
We manage the process to close with care, and stay close through the transition. We measure success by placements that last.
Built on four principles.
Precision
A short, curated shortlist matched to the mandate, not a flood of resumes.
Partnership
We work as an extension of your firm, aligned to your goals.
Integrity
Confidentiality is the foundation of every search.
Results
Placements that last, measured by the quality of the match.
Two sides of one market.
Hiring firms
For managing partners and practice-group leads who need to fill a seat well and quietly. We bring a short, targeted shortlist and handle the search with discretion.
