Build an In-House Team That Drives Business
Today’s top legal departments don’t just protect—they lead. At Smith Legal Search, we help companies hire lawyers who can do both: mitigate risk and unlock value. We understand the unique calculus of in-house hiring—where legal acumen must pair with business fluency, and where title, trajectory, and comp structure all shape the candidate’s decision. We advise on how to position your role competitively, then find the professionals who can thrive within it. The lawyers we place stay an average of 10+ years—long enough to shape policy, partner with leadership, and grow with the business.
