contingent legal search.
Bringing the best candidates front and center

A contingency search is the traditional method of recruiting Lateral Associates, Partners, and In-House Counsel that is common in the legal recruiting industry. In this type of relationship, firstPRO will source, recruit and present only the most talented legal candidates with the specific practice group experience and skills you require. Only after the successful attorney candidate has started with your firm or company do we earn our contingency fee.

The Atlanta Business Chronicle has recognized firstPRO as the #1 Executive Contingent Search firm in Atlanta since 2005. These and other prestigious awards are meaningful accomplishments and point to our commitment to excellence in service delivery on behalf of our Contingent Client Partners.

Developing a customized strategy for you

A Retained Search is an exclusive partnership between firstPRO and our law firm or company client for either a single role or for a multi-search project. The Retained Agreement typically involves either all or a portion of the fee paid upon initiation of the search, which allows both firstPRO and our legal client to be mutually invested. Retained Search work is prioritized within the firm and receives a team of dedicated legal recruiters assigned to the project. Our legal clients receive a complete timeline of the search with attorney candidate delivery dates and a target completion date for the Retained Project. Our excellent reputation and track record of success has given many of our clients the confidence to engage our services on a retained search basis.

The Atlanta Business Chronicle has recognized FirstPRO as one of the Top Retained Search Firms in Atlanta, a testament to our proven performance as a powerful solution to our legal clients.
