LATERAL LINK

WHY CHOOSE LATERAL LINK

As former large-firm attorneys, our team understands the inconvenience of fielding random cold calls from headhunters and juggling many sources to find only a fraction of the top legal positions on the market. Lateral Link offers an alternative approach featuring a Web-based platform allowing our Members greater control of the job search process, coupled with unmatched degree of personalized service to our Members who are actively pursuing positions.

Our Members work with the best, as our team consists of accomplished legal search professionals who share a commitment to high-quality, efficient service. Our diverse and talented team includes former large-firm attorneys, Harvard economists, firm recruiting directors, and legal search professionals, setting us apart from our competitors and allowing us to offer peer-like advice since we have actually been in your shoes.

The Lateral Link job network is updated daily and draws from a wide variety of highly sought-after positions at top-tier law firms (ranging from regional boutiques to major international firms), hedge funds, banks, publicly traded companies, small start-up companies, and sports and media companies. Our Members can see every opportunity from New York to Tokyo, updated in real time, instead of just a handful of stale teasers.

Because Lateral Link operates more efficiently than traditional legal recruiting firms, we are in the position to pass on the cost savings to our Members. Attorneys placed by Lateral Link at law firms receive our standard $10,000 Guaranteed Signing Bonus. In addition, we offer an incremental Referral Fee—$500, $1,000, $1,500, etc.—for each attorney referred to us who is not already part of the Lateral Link network and who subsequently obtains a position through Lateral Link.

CONFIDENTIAL APPROACH

Lateral Link was founded for attorneys, by attorneys. We apply the same standards of confidentiality and ethics to Lateral Link as we did as practicing attorneys at our previous firms.

What does that mean? For starters, your personal information, including the fact that you are a Lateral Link Member, is never disclosed without your express prior permission. Employers DO NOT have access to our website. We have thousands of passive Members relying on us for information on a daily basis, without a concern that their current employer will find out they are registered as a Member. We understand and respect your confidentiality.

Next, until a Member gives us express permission to submit his or her candidacy to a certain employer, we WILL NOT submit your application, for both our sake and that of our Members. We stand behind the quality of our applicants, and employers recognize our stamp of approval, so we want to make sure every application is done right.

We look forward to personally assisting you once you invite us to participate in your job search.

MEMBER BENEFITS

Our Members realize genuine benefits from Lateral Link, such as responsive personalized assistance, a $10,000 Guaranteed Signing Bonus, Job Alerts, Career Consulting, an online Career Library, and Member-Referred Jobs, just to name a few.

Lateral Link is different from our competitors for various reasons. In addition to our superior service by a team of highly qualified professionals and a tech-savvy business model that allows us to pass along cost savings in the form of a $10,000 Guaranteed Signing Bonus, we are committed to building a tool chest of Member Benefits that offer real value. For example, we offer free Career Consulting, so that our Members who want to investigate their professional options have a consultant to help them navigate successful transitions, whether within or outside of the practice of law. That is testament to the fact we put the needs of our Members first, not our desire to make a placement.

If you have any suggestions or questions about our Member Benefits, please contact Michael Allen directly. We welcome ways to improve our service to our Members.
