PASADENA, Calif., — BCG Attorney Search, the largest national legal recruiting firm dedicated exclusively to placing associates and partners in law firms, has opened a new office in Denver, Colorado. With the addition of the Denver branch, BCG Attorney Search, headquartered in Los Angeles, has increased the total number of its offices to 12. The move not only buttresses BCG’s claim as one of the most geographically diverse legal-consulting firms in the nation, but should also allow it to better serve the needs of its clients in the Rocky Mountain region. “The vast majority of large legal-search firms rely on their recruiters in major markets such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago to do business in the remote-control mode,” says BCG Attorney Search’s CEO, Harrison Barnes. “Time and time again, we see that both attorneys and hiring partners appreciate the ability of a recruiter to be there in person, to know the idiosyncrasies of the local legal market. That is the main reason why BCG will continue to place a great value on personalized relations and face-to-face interactions,” added Barnes.
Heading the Denver office of the firm is Melanie Neale. Until recently, Melanie was a litigation associate at Fulbright & Jaworski’s Houston office, where in addition to her duties as a litigator, she was actively involved in recruiting. That part of her job, albeit secondary at first, soon turned into Melanie’s passion. She enjoys the challenge of helping fellow attorneys with their job searches, as well as the daily interaction with a multitude of people. Immediately prior to joining BCG Attorney Search, Melanie had an opportunity to learn the specifics of the Colorado legal market and its pertinence to the art of legal recruiting. And now, she professed, becoming a BCG recruiter is a move that makes sense from both business and strategic standpoints: “The resources of such a large and well-established firm as BCG Attorney Search, combined with the connections that I developed in the local legal market, should allow us to be very effective in serving our clients.”
The newly opened BCG Attorney Search office is located in downtown Denver, counting among its neighbors a large number of prominent law firms.
