If you have a title in a law firm other than a full-time associate, or partner, most law firms will not be interested in you for full-time positions. See Index. If you are a staff attorney, contract attorney, paralegal, clerk, or another title than an attorney, law firms will presume you either did not want a titled position or were not offered one.
 

Law firms will choose people currently working as associates or partners over someone with other titles. While counsel attorneys are sometimes marketable as well, this position connotes an interest in not trying to be a partner or committing at the same level.
 
Ensure you have a good explanation to offer firms about why you have a title other than an associate or partner. If you have a different title, law firms should believe that you want to be an associate or a partner and that there are reasons you have another title. Law firms want motivated people to be associates and partners who desire titles and merit titles and are willing to work full-time.
 
The hiring process for law firms is very competitive. Associates and partners are chosen before someone with other titles because the firm wants people who will work hard to be successful in their career as well – which means they need attorneys that have proven themselves at this level already.
 
Law firms are fascinating environments offering many opportunities for attorneys of different expertise, motivations, and business-getting abilities. Ultimately, the most important thing to rise up the food chain and stay there is the amount of business the attorney has.
 
Here are some of the most common titles we see on attorney resumes.

About Harrison Barnes

No legal recruiter in the United States has placed more attorneys at top law firms across every practice area than Harrison Barnes. His unmatched expertise, industry connections, and proven placement strategies have made him the most influential legal career advisor for attorneys seeking success in Big Law, elite boutiques, mid-sized firms, small firms, firms in the largest and smallest markets, and in over 350 separate practice areas.

A Reach Unlike Any Other Legal Recruiter

Most legal recruiters focus only on placing attorneys in large markets or specific practice areas, but Harrison places attorneys at all levels, in all practice areas, and in all locations-from the most prestigious firms in New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., to small and mid-sized firms in rural markets. Every week, he successfully places attorneys not only in high-demand practice areas like corporate and litigation but also in niche and less commonly recruited areas such as:

  • Top Am Law 100 firms such including Sullivan and Cromwell, and almost every AmLaw 100 and AmLaw 200 law firm.
  • Elite boutique firms with specialized practices
  • Mid-sized firms looking to expand their practice areas
  • Growing firms in small and rural markets

He has also placed hundreds of law firm partners and has worked on firm and practice area mergers, helping law firms strategically grow their teams.

Harrison Barnes is the legal profession's mentor and may be the only person in your legal career who will tell you why you are not reaching your full potential and what you really need to do to grow as an attorney--regardless of how much it hurts. If you prefer truth to stagnation, growth to comfort, and actionable ideas instead of fluffy concepts, you and Harrison will get along just fine. If, however, you want to stay where you are, talk about your past successes, and feel comfortable, Harrison is not for you.

Truly great mentors are like parents, doctors, therapists, spiritual figures, and others because in order to help you they need to expose you to pain and expose your weaknesses. But suppose you act on the advice and pain created by a mentor. In that case, you will become better: a better attorney, better employees, a better boss, know where you are going, and appreciate where you have been--you will hopefully also become a happier and better person. As you learn from Harrison, he hopes he will become your mentor.
