THE MFJ PHILOSOPHY
RELATIONSHIPS
We believe strong relationships are the foundation of lasting growth. For over 20 years, we’ve connected elite law firms with partners and associates positioned to thrive. Our deep insight into the legal market—and the people who shape it—allows us to build enduring partnerships and guide both attorneys and firms through an ever-evolving landscape with clarity, discretion, and integrity.
RELEVANCE
The recruiting team at MFJ knows a thing or two about the legal landscape because we’ve seen it from both sides. Many of our consultants are not only highly skilled legal recruiters, they are also attorneys themselves. They’ve traveled the path you’re taking and developed the tools and relationships you need to reach your career goals more quickly and with enormous success.
REPUTATION
You’ve worked hard to get where you are and you deserve a team that will work even harder to get you where you want to go next. At MFJ, we believe in building trusting relationships that lead to lifelong partnerships. We pride ourselves on our reputation as trusted advisors and confidants to leading talent and law firms in today’s market.
For Attorneys
Who You’ll Work With
When you work with MFJ, you will speak with a legal recruiter who understands confidentiality, timing, firm dynamics, and the realities of lateral moves. Our team works closely with attorneys to evaluate opportunities thoughtfully, not push them into the market before they are ready.
LET’S GET STARTED
I can’t say enough about the MFJ team. Making the decision to leave a job for another is a huge decision and is never easy, but this team was a great guide in helping me through the decision-making process. They found firms that fit my personality and were an excellent sounding board while I was going through interviews. I ended up getting a great job and I have MFJ to thank for that.
MFJ has an outstanding team that works with a wide network of firms of various sizes and specialties. Their experience in working with these firms gives them key insight into various legal markets across the nation. I was hoping to make the transition from Washington, D.C. to Dallas or another legal market closer to home and they helped me find the perfect position in Dallas. In addition, they provided me with seven other options for positions across the nation that were closely tailored to my specialty and experience. What I valued most is that MFJ quickly understood the role and geographic area I was looking for, recognized my key strengths, and advocated for me to obtain the right position. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend MFJ for anyone looking for a change or passively interested in exploring new possibilities.
