The Knight Consulting Group, Ltd. is a boutique consultancy with a national presence, comprised of consultants located throughout the United States. Since our inception in 2006 we have assisted industry-leading international, national, and regional law firms, corporations, and other businesses to satisfy their hiring needs for attorneys.
We believe that a high-quality search for legal talent requires the insight attained from having been a legal practitioner. Our team has decades of experience serving in attorney and counsel roles in several fields, including private practice, corporate "in-house," and government. We understand the needs and aspirations of the employer and employee and approach each project with those understandings.
Before entering the executive search industry, Larry practiced law for 30 years. Most of his legal career was in private practice as a principal or member of a law firm. His career also included government service and house counsel for corporations. His varied and extensive experience gives him a wide variety of perspectives and an appreciation for the objectives and concerns of employers and employees. Larry is a graduate of Brooklyn Law School (1974) and the City College of New York.
All Consultant Project Managers hold a J.D. (Juris Doctorate) and have experience practicing law. Many of our consultants graduated from Ivy League universities and/or other premier undergraduate and graduate schools. We pride ourselves in being extremely selective in acquiring new consultants.
Our team has assisted law firms with entering into new geographical areas, hiring attorneys, and merging or absorbing local law firms and practice groups. Identifying and recruiting partner-level attorneys with portable business is a particular focus of our consultancy.
We have a sincere interest in the careers of our candidates, and encourage each candidate to be introspective in order to discover and articulate their professional goals. We listen and then we counsel.
Only after a rigorous vetting process do we introduce attorneys to prospective employers.
