Services for every stage of your career
Whether you’re a first-year associate or a partner with a book of business, we match you with roles that fit your practice and goals.
Associate Recruiting
Move to a firm with stronger training, better work or a better culture.
Partner Recruiting
Discreet lateral moves, with transition planning and portable-book analysis.
In-House Counsel
Roles on legal teams at growing companies, from first counsel to general counsel.
Interim Legal Talent
Legal teams are often asked to do more than their headcount allows. We provide experienced attorneys and legal professionals on a temporary basis, whether for a single matter, a busy season or a long project, so your team can keep up without making a permanent hire.
We start by learning exactly what you need. Then we introduce you to interim counsel and consulting lawyers who prefer project-to-project work and are ready to join your team for as long as you need them.
Extra hands for a busy practice
When a practice area is stretched thin, we bring in an experienced attorney to share the load.
Overflow on deals and contracts
When contract and transaction work piles up, we provide interim counsel to keep it moving.
Teams for larger projects
For a months-long effort such as a due diligence review, we can bring in a group of consultants and keep them for the length of the work.
Law Firm Management
Hiring is only one part of running a strong firm. We also advise firm leaders on how to grow, keep and organize their legal talent.
Growth planning
We help leadership decide where to add attorneys, which practices to build, and how to sequence hires so growth stays sustainable.
Retention and succession
We look at why attorneys stay or leave, and help plan for partner transitions before they become urgent.
Market insight
We share what we see in the market on compensation, lateral movement and hiring trends, so decisions rest on current information.

About DMA Attorney Search
For more than 25 years, DMA Attorney Search has been connecting exceptional legal talent with law firms and in-house legal teams where they can thrive.
We believe the right placement is about more than matching a résumé to a job description. It’s about understanding people—their experience, ambitions, priorities, and what they’re looking for in the next chapter of their careers. We take the same thoughtful approach with our clients, getting to know their culture, needs, and long-term goals before making an introduction.
Our relationships are built on trust, discretion, and a deep understanding of the legal market. From the first conversation through the signed offer, we provide a confidential, highly personalized search experience designed to create lasting matches for both candidates and employers.
At DMA, we don’t simply fill positions. We connect the right people with the right opportunities—and build relationships that last well beyond the placement.
Our Mission
We want DMA to be:
A dependable partner for clients
The firms and legal departments we serve should be able to count on us as their hiring needs change.
A trusted adviser for attorneys
We offer guidance at every stage of a legal career, not only when someone is ready to make a move.
Our Values
The four principles that guide every search.
Integrity
We are honest with candidates and clients, even when the news isn’t what they hoped to hear, and we act in their best interests.
Quality
We return calls, know our market and give careful, informed advice.
Diversity
A team with varied backgrounds sees more talent and serves clients better. We work to build one and to help clients widen their searches.
Collaboration
We share what we learn with one another, because a team that works together finds better matches than recruiters working alone.
