If you have ties in MIA, start with those before talking to a recruiter. There are only a handful of biglaw slots in MIA compared to NYC, and you want to be very careful in how you target those that are available. A bad recruiter will indiscriminately spam firms and could actually shut you out of the market.

Thanks! I'm from the area, but I don't have any connections to any firms in MIA, so wondering what the best approach is here.

Do you have any childhood friends who went to UF or UM? They may have friends at these firms that they can help get a referral from.

Be 100% sure before you draw that conclusion. Even friends of friends who are associates can come in handy. Failing that, any lawyers you know in MIA (of an ilk) could be a good starting point.
