Jeff Conta

I have been a legal recruiter for more than 13 years, and have been recognized by Lawdragon each year since 2021 in their Global 100 Leaders In Legal Strategy & Consulting.  I recently opened my own shop, focusing on partners, counsel and associates.  Although I have strong ties to Chicago and Milwaukee, I recruit throughout the United States.  I assist attorneys and law firms, wherever they are located and whatever their needs. 

 

I have met and advised hundreds of lawyers over the years who were considering whether it made sense to explore a move to another firm.  If it did, I assisted them throughout the process - from targeting a firm and developing an initial approach through walking into the new firm on Day One.

​

I have collaborated with dozens of law firms on their recruiting efforts, including those in the American Lawyer Top 10, 50, 100 and 200, and leading regional firms and boutiques.

​

In my work I draw upon my experience as a legal recruiter and my 20 years as an attorney handling complex litigation matters in law firms of various sizes.  Like you, I have lived the life of an attorney.  I find this shared experience to be helpful as we navigate the recruiting process together.

​

If you are an attorney thinking about options and would like to have a confidential chat, or if you represent a law firm that is looking for an experienced and recognized legal recruiter, I would very much enjoy hearing from you.
