The Firm
Attorney Placements International specializes in assessing and recruiting attorneys with track records for facilitating a competitive advantage and sustainable value to law firms and corporations.
WHAT WE DO
The worldwide success of our firm has been built on our insights into the people dynamics of law firms and corporations and their global leadership requirements.
Founded by a Practicing Attorney
Attorney Placements International was founded by a practicing attorney with a distinctive vision and structure aimed at achieving two basic goals – to place our clients’ interests first and to lead our profession in creating value for our clients through the assessment and recruitment of top attorney talent the world over.
Client-first Vision
The most fundamental expression of our client-first vision resides in our structure, which is unique to our profession. Our consultants, who operate from our international offices, are organized around a single-profit center partnership.
Our Reach
Our reach is broad and there is no inter-agency competition within our organization. The API team is seamless, agile and efficient. When client engagements call for us to mobilize across many offices in a country or a region, we already have all the resources in place to accommodate any international assignment.
OUR PEOPLE
With more than 20 years of service to law firms and corporations around the globe
The professionals at API have cultivated the relationships and knowledge to align skill set, culture and experience into meaningful and satisfactory relationships. We enable law firms of all sizes to fill their talent gaps while empowering candidates to achieve their career goals.

Attorney placement is complex: it requires a sophisticated understanding of law firm and corporate challenges, as well as the inner workings of and access to a broad talent market.
