Targeted Mailing is the best way to get a legal job!

In today's legal market, over 85% of all available attorney positions are never publicized. The most efficient way to get these positions is through targeted mailing. Legal search firms fill less than 5% of all available positions. We have heard over and over again that is "networking" simply not the most effective approach. Ads posted on job posting boards or in classified sections of legal newspapers often draw well over 1,000 responses.

We are not a recruiting firm or a job posting board. Simply put, we are the legal profession's direct link to employers. At Legal Authority's core is our strategy of allowing individuals to apply to legal jobs on their own, which drives our capabilities into a one-of-a-kind employment continuum, with our database at its center. This is accomplished through Legal Authority's design and production of high-impact resumes, personalized cover letters and their distribution to legal employers. Legal Authority is the means by which legal employers and candidates are connected in the fastest and most efficient manner. We can cover any given market more efficiently, cost-effectively and in less time than any source, anywhere.

Delay at your own cost

With salaries for most attorneys exceeding $50,000, delay can be extremely costly. At an annual salary of $120,000, for example, you are losing $10,000 each month you are not working. This does not even reflect the amount of money you are losing in benefits and other employer-sponsored perks. If you are unhappy with your current position, or your organization is in trouble, the emotional costs of remaining with an employer can be even more severe. Whether you are a partner at an AmLaw 100 law firm, the General Counsel of an important corporation, or a law student, we have the resources to help you get where you want to be.
