Founded by Harvard-educated lawyers with extensive legal and business experience, Charles River Recruiting furnishes a discreet, bespoke legal recruiting service for law firm partners who may be contemplating a change of venue, and for the law firms that want to meet them. See our founding legal recruiter’s bio.
Our mission is to provide law firms and law firm partners with the insight, research, connections, and win-win negotiating skill that top lawyers rightfully expect of their own advocates. CRR law recruiters have one focus: placing partner-level candidates at law firms where their practices will flourish. With decades of experience in the legal and recruiting industries, our law recruiters are well-situated to assist at every phase of the recruitment process—from understanding candidates’ and clients’ needs and interests and identifying potential matches to brokering successful placements.

What makes our top legal recruiters different?
We’re Like You. CRR was founded by lawyers with interests, skills and credentials much like yours. We understand the needs and expectations of our candidates and clients because we ourselves have been on both sides of the equation.
We’re Consummate Professionals. We understand lawyers, we understand clients, we understand law firms, and we understand client service. Having practiced ourselves, we also understand how critical it is to make a positive impression on behalf of those whom we represent. Accordingly, the quality of our communications on your behalf is unmatched.
We Specialize in Partners. CRR has traditionally worked only with partner-level candidates. While we recruit associate attorneys who join a firm along with a partner, our recruiting and placement focus remains on the high-level, high-value talent: partner candidates with significant books of business. Thus, both our candidates and clients know that our attention is always directed to the highest-impact decisions that they need to make.
We Prepare Exhaustively. We recruit the same way that you make important business deals: through preparation, due diligence, and patience. Taking the time to get to know our candidates and clients gives us the advantage of insight: we make it our business to know as much about your business as you do.
We’re Tireless. CRR will do everything in our power to help you find your match. If you are a firm seeking to establish or expand a practice group, we will surface the “stealth” candidate who may be practicing in an unexpected place. If you are a partner considering options, we will help you expand your decision set—even if you think you already know all of theplayers.
We’re Candid. If you are a client, we’ll give you our honest opinion on proposed retainers—and decline them if we believe them to be unrealistic. If you are a candidate, we’ll tell you where we think you have the best opportunities. We put a premium on the efficient use of your time and we value your reputation as much as we do our own.
