- Lateral Partner Recruitment in Washington, DC | Garrison Search
Your search firm should reflect the same professional standards you uphold with your clients. Let Garrison handle your lateral partner recruitment. 8. Getting over the finish line Even once a partner accepts, there’s still the possibility of counter-offers, cold feet, or other unexpected complications that can undermine the deal. We understand the nuances of making a move and the deep level of trust we develop with candidates makes an important difference. We are skilled at helping partners address issues such as giving notice effectively, handling counter-offers, and ultimately making the transition with minimal disruption. We address some of these issues early in the process, ensuring they are anticipated and dealt with appropriately if they develop. 2. Reflecting your brand in the market When working on your search, we positively project your firm’s image and brand. Partners consistently tell us, “I never call recruiters back, but your approach was so refreshing I had to return your call.” Based on many years of experience, we know what stands out from the noise and resonates with partners, especially those who may not be actively looking. When a partner receives a call from Garrison, they likely know our firm and reputation for selectivity. The fact that we are conducting a search on your behalf reflects our belief in the quality of the opportunity, and this is consistently reinforced through our approach. Recruiting Partners and Groups < Back to For Employers 1. Designing the strongest search narrative The partners you seek are contacted multiple times a week by multiple firms and the outreaches begin to all sound the same. This is where we are different. We have learned that the most important ingredients for attracting a lateral partner are a strong strategic vision and a well-articulated search narrative. Marketing a search to lateral partners is much different than marketing your law firm services to clients, and we are experts in knowing what resonates with your target partners. To develop the strongest narrative, we go beyond “why are you looking?” and uncover selling points that will better position you in the market. Our detailed and comprehensive approach stands out and maximizes the likelihood of a favorable response. 5. Transparency and efficiency We are straight shooters, which ensures that we aren’t time wasters. We tell you the good, bad and sometimes ugly, all with a goal towards maximizing your efforts. While some search firms avoid uncomfortable conversations, we view them as essential. We will help you avoid embarking on searches without a realistic sense of the market and your likelihood of success. Our approach enables you to make the smartest business decisions when it comes to investing your time and resources. 3. Access to the “invisible partner market” From our many years in the market, we have a broad network of partners and trusted relationships at high levels. Some of these partners are not actively in the market and don’t respond to recruiter outreach - but they do trust us to quietly inform them of certain standout opportunities. 6. Responsiveness and clear expectations From the moment we begin working together, you will realize that responsiveness and clear communication are woven into everything we do. We are always available, including evenings and weekends, and our response time is usually within a couple of hours. We also set expectations in terms of search updates and check-ins and keep you well informed at every stage. 4. Highest likelihood of success We are always gratified to hear comments such as, “We tried this search in the past, and the difference is night and day. We have never received as many meetings.” While we cannot guarantee a placement for every search, we do guarantee that our proven approach will provide you the highest likelihood of success. Erin Sears Bio Dan Binstock Bio Key Contacts: Amy K. Savage Bio Our Track-Record and Approach We are highly selective with our searches to ensure our full focus and attention. As a result, our track record outpaces the market. After five years, our retention rate is 75%, compared to the industry average of 50%. Our unique process helps you stand out in a highly competitive market, so you can attract and engage a broader range of partners and groups – not just read about them in the news. For Employers Recruiting Partners and Groups Home 7. Close contact and insight throughout the process We go far beyond presenting candidates and scheduling interviews. Once discussions begin, we remain in the trenches skillfully guiding and navigating the process at each stage, such as advising on interview strategies, candidate feedback, negotiation, and assisting with due diligence. At the same time, we know when to step back to enable you to develop organic connections with the partners.

An accomplished recruiter with more than two decades of experience in the DC legal market, her addition will further bolster Garrison’s strength in placing elite partners and government officials with top firms. Amy is widely regarded as one of the most skilled and knowledgeable legal recruiters in the region. She brings deep experience with high-profile partners (including those with government-facing practices) and high-level government attorneys transitioning to private practice. She has also helped many leading firms enhance their DC presence and build out both emerging and well-established practices. “We are very excited to welcome Amy to our team,” said Garrison co-owner Dan Binstock, who heads the Partner and Practice Group Division. “I have known Amy for many years as a friendly competitor and have always been impressed by her depth of experience and highly ethical approach to recruiting at the top of the market.” Garrison co-owners Matt Schwartz and Nancy Palermo added, “Amy’s outstanding track record is a reflection of her approach, which closely aligns with how we do things at Garrison.” Prior to joining Garrison, Amy served as the National Chair of the Government Regulatory and Enforcement Group at an international attorney search firm. 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 boutique and large law firms to her work with candidates and clients. A recognized expert on legal career issues, Amy has advised on the DC legal market to numerous top law schools including Yale Law, Harvard Law, University of Virginia, Columbia University, and Georgetown Law on best approaches and practices in the DC legal market. Amy has also presented at key professional associations such as the National Association of Legal Placement (NALP) and is often relied upon for her thought leadership by the legal press (including The American Lawyer, Bloomberg Law, Law360, and Above the Law). She has also served as an expert witness in federal court on matters related to attorney compensation. “I have long admired Garrison’s reputation and bespoke approach to lateral recruiting. In a market where the war for lateral partner talent can define which firms rise and fall, Garrison’s highly tailored approach is more powerful than ever,” said Savage. “I am excited to join a team that is so well positioned to effectively help attorneys and firms alike in this competitive hiring market.” About Garrison Since 1986, elite attorneys, law firms, and corporations have entrusted Garrison with their most important lateral searches due to a unique blend of market expertise, connections, and candor.
