For Law Firms

Kimball Professional Management places practice group leaders, partners, and associates with leading law firms. Representative placements include partners and practice group leaders in litigation, corporate, tax, employee benefits, intellectual property, real estate and other fields. We have placed associates in almost all practice areas including litigation, corporate, real estate, intellectual property (patent and non patent), government contracts, employee benefits, bankruptcy, tax, and tax controversy.

We have placed lawyers with more than twenty five firms in Chicago and other markets including Baker & McKenzie, Bartlit Beck, Bell, Boyd, & Lloyd, Chapman and Cutler, Faegre & Benson, Foley & Lardner, Grippo & Elden, Jenner & Block, Katten Muchin Rosenman, Kirkland & Ellis, McDermott, Will & Emery, Mayer Brown, McGuire Woods, Miller Canfield, Neal Gerber Eisenberg, Ropes & Gray, Seyfarth Shaw, Stein, Ray & Harris LLP, Schiff Hardin, Sidley Austin, Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, Vedder Price, and Winston & Strawn. We work regularly with leading AmLaw 100 firms in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, San Francisco and other markets on consulting projects, interviewer training and other entry-level and lateral hiring matters.

We collaborate with premier boutique search firms in other markets to identify and place lawyers who are moving to Chicago from New York, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other cities.

We work with law firms on retained and contingent fee searches and are pleased to discuss the best option for any law firm client in this dynamic and competitive market. A premier recruiting firm must have a short list of clients in order to give its clients the widest range of options possible. We do not solicit, recruit, or place partners or associates who practice with our law firm clients. We are always pleased to discuss market trends, lateral hiring strategies and tactics, and potential searches with law firms.
