Lateraling to NYC or Chicago - Advice Needed

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Sep 29, 2017 10:51 pm

Current 2nd year M&A associate with a regional Midwest law firm (approx 250 attorneys) and looking to lateral to NYC or Chicago - V100 preferably. For those who have successfully made such a move, did you just mass mail or use a recruiter? I've applied to a handful of firms so far via email and have yet to even receive a response. Should I just continue emailing, or would a recruiter help? If so, any recommendations for recruiters in NYC or Chicago? If it matters I'm a URM fluent in several languages. Thanks for the tips!

Midlevel transactional/ regulatory successfully transitioned to Chicago from a secondary market and now doing extremely well.

Cross your fingers. Be a unicorn. Use a recruiter. This is a brutal market. Your URMs are square on par. Use a recruiter.

OP. I did the same thing and chose to use a recruiter because I was switching practice groups as well.

Did you lateral to NYC or Chicago? I'd love to know which NYC recruiters are reputable/will work with junior associates working outside of the city.
