But I love to make time for trying new art activities, such as crocheting, watercolor painting, and whatever intrigues me in a given moment. When the law books are not calling, I will read almost anything, but I especially like historical fiction and science-focused nonfiction. Other activities I love include thrifting, trying new restaurants, and going to see new movies with friends. Originally from St. Michaels, Maryland, I try to visit with family as often as I can.

That’s a distinguishing factor that puts him in a class of his own." -Corporate/Finance Partner, AmLaw 5 Firm A lateral transition has unanticipated speed bumps, and Dan's process helps you minimize disruption to your current practice while you navigate each step of your transition.

There is truly no one like him. Recruiter, Therapist, Spiritual Guide. He is all in one. Dan is an expert on the market and on the recruiting process, and has the unique insight of someone who knows everyone in the legal field and the directions in which things are moving.

But more than all that, you became my trusted counselor during a difficult economic and, yes, emotional time. I have never seen anyone in your business do that." Partner and Former GC of Fortune 100 Company "Dan takes the time to understand law firms and lawyers on a deeper personal level that is meaningful, which translates into the genesis of a greater match when lawyers merge into a new law firm. The result is powerful because everyone is working in the same direction with common goals and methods of achieving those goals. In our case, Dan quickly assessed personalities and created a match that fits like a glove. The team could not be happier, and the law firm is thrilled. Both sides are stronger and thriving because of this match. We have Dan to thank for this." Co-Chair, Health Care Practice, AmLaw 100 Firm “When my partners and I decided that our clients would be better served by combining with a firm with a national footprint, we were fortunate to have Dan Binstock by our side as we embarked on our search. He took the time to get to know us and understood what mattered most to us—finding a firm built on the principles that matched our own. Dan is, quite simply, a consummate professional and a fine person. We are so glad he was part of our team.” Former Managing Partner of a Chambers-ranked Boutique "I have now made three lateral moves in my 20 years of practicing law. Dan managed the last one, and it was by far the smoothest and most rewarding. Dan found a great match for me at a firm where I have doubled the size of my practice in just one year. I highly recommend Dan and have referred colleagues to him." Partner, AmLaw 100 Firm “Dan's in-depth knowledge of the DC legal marketplace, particularly coupled with his caring attitude and superior negotiation skills, makes him the most effective placement professional I have yet to come in contact with. I would not have made the move to my new firm without him -- he truly helped make the transition a success for all involved.” Partner and Head of Trademark Practice at IP Boutique ACCOLADES AND LEADERSHIP Named by LawDragon as one of the top 100 legal consultants and strategists for the past eight consecutive years (2017-Present).

The best firm for someone else is not necessarily the best for you and your clients. Amy helps find the strongest platform for you with an initial, exploratory conversation about you, your practice, your clients, your goals, and other key factors like rates, conflicts, and the presence of other complementary practice areas. Amy will then gather market intelligence and present options that align with your goals and background. Amy knows which firms are interested in hiring in specific practice areas and she has access to key decision makers; she will help you navigate the process, simplify the recruiting process, save you time, ensure a more effective search, and help you secure a better result than you can on your own. In addition to working with current law firm partners, Amy also works with Senate-confirmed and other high-level government attorneys. Those candidates face issues those already in private practice do not – how to make a business case without immediately portable business, with whom to speak about recusals, how to address limitations on appearances and compensation after departure, and so much more. Government attorneys can rely on Amy’s expertise to help them navigate those and other questions. More generally, Amy helps senior lawyers and groups advance their careers by making strategic lateral moves to the right firms at the right time. Her success stems in part from her unique ability to align an attorney's skills, aspirations, and (potential or existing) client base with the right platform. Working with employers Amy is widely regarded as one of the most skilled and knowledgeable legal recruiters in the region. She has worked with dozens of law firms to enhance their DC presence and build out both emerging and well-established practices. Hiring teams reach out to Amy because she is effective. She explores the driving forces behind the searches (such as growth, succession, replacement, client demand), as well as key factors that need to be considered to ensure a strong fit. She then uses that information to craft an approach that helps bring the right candidates to the platform. She ensures that the first, lasting impression the candidate has of the firm is accurate and engaging. As stated by an AmLaw 15 firm: “[Amy] knows exactly what we are looking for and never fails to provide top-notch candidates.” CREDENTIALS Prior to joining Garrison, Amy served as the National Chair of the Government Regulatory & Enforcement Group of a large attorney recruiting agency. She graduated with honors from Georgetown University Law Center in 2000, and later moved from practicing law to legal recruiting, bringing experience and insight gleaned from her years at law firms to her work with candidates and clients. Now a recognized expert on legal career issues, Amy has spoken about the DC legal market to numerous law schools (including Yale, Harvard, UVA, Columbia, and Georgetown), presented at key professional associations like NALP and WALRAA, and is relied upon for her thought leadership by the legal press (including ALM, Bloomberg, Law360, and Above the Law). She has also served as an expert witness in federal court on matters related to attorney compensation – experience that makes her uniquely qualified to negotiate on behalf of her candidates. REPRESENTATIVE PLACEMENTS The high-profile candidates with whom Amy has worked include Chambers-Ranked partners, team chairs, elected officials, Senate-confirmed officials, U.S. Attorneys, and senior attorneys from EPA, FERC, DOJ, and other agencies. Amy has negotiated offers for them from a range of firms, from the most prestigious and visible practices in the United States to smaller boutiques. TESTIMONIALS “When it came time for me to think about returning to private practice after over two years as a senior political appointee [], I called only one recruiter: Amy. Her knowledge of the legal market for laterals coming out of government was encyclopedic. She excelled at getting me very quickly in front of the senior leadership of a select number of firms of the highest caliber. And her advice on structuring a business plan, preparing for interviews, and compensation was indispensable. I recommend Amy wholeheartedly and without reservation.” Chambers-Ranked Partner “Amy is the recruiter law firms turn to for their most critical searches because she genuinely cares about her clients. Her deep expertise and strong relationships make her a trusted and successful partner.” Firmwide Director of Partner Recruiting, AmLaw Firm “Amy’s expertise with attorney compensation structures combined with her market knowledge proved to be a winning formula, and she secured multiple offers for me, with highly favorable terms.” Chambers-Ranked Partner “Amy is an exceptional legal recruiter with uncanny insight into the DC legal market, particularly for individuals leaving government. She deploys that insight to her clients in order to maximize the probability that the candidates with whom she works enter new positions that are long-term and productive fits. Amy also works with clients to develop a strong plan that leverages the strengths that her clients bring to employer to ensure that the offers received are the best possible under the market conditions….” Former AUSA turned General Counsel “[Amy] listened to the practices I wanted to focus on, helped me target my search, and then pointed me towards some wonderful opportunities that I wouldn't have known about otherwise. She helped me secure an interview within weeks of when we started working together and I accepted an offer shortly thereafter. Throughout, she quickly gathered information for me and responded to all of my questions, ensuring that I understood where things stood in the firm's decision-making process and had all the information I needed to decide how to respond to the offer.” NGO fellow who landed a position in a highly specialized legal practice “Amy was retained by [a law firm] to help find someone with my skillset to augment its practice … While she was a great advocate for the firm, she also gave me sound advice and insight that helped me make the selection that made the most sense for me. Thanks to Amy I've found a new professional home.” Agency General Counsel, who accepted position as a practice group chair MEDIA, WRITING, AND SPEAKING Amy is a trusted speaker and author on lateral attorney issues. Frequently cited by national publications for her expertise in attorney hiring, she has also presented lectures for top-ranked law schools (including Yale and Harvard), given presentations for the nation’s leading legal placement associations (NALP and WALRAA), and has written articles for The Legal Times, AboveTheLaw, and other publications.
