Legal Search Expertise You Can Rely On

For more than fifteen years, American Placement Group has successfully assisted attorneys in advancing their careers by identifying the right opportunities and facilitating lateral and in-house moves with professionalism, efficiency, and discretion.

Whether you are considering a lateral move to another law firm or exploring an in-house opportunity, our experienced legal recruiters can help you identify a position that aligns with your professional goals, experience, and circumstances.

Our success is built on the strong relationships we have developed within the legal community and with the firms and organizations we represent. Just as importantly, we take the time to understand each candidate’s individual goals and priorities. We listen first and recommend opportunities based on the right fit—not simply on what happens to be available.

We have never believed in trying to “fit a round peg into a square hole.” Our goal is to identify opportunities where your experience, ambitions, and expectations genuinely align with the needs of the organization.

If you are considering your next career move, we invite you to contact American Placement Group at (213) 458-0180, or submit your resume to brian@americanplacementgroup.com and we will contact you to discuss your goals and potential opportunities.

Strict Confidentiality

All candidate submissions are handled in strict confidence. American Placement Group will never distribute your resume or present your candidacy to any person, law firm, company, or other organization without first obtaining your knowledge and explicit authorization.

At American Placement Group, we specialize in helping attorneys navigate the legal market and identify career opportunities that align with their experience, professional goals, and long-term ambitions.

Our services include:

Lateral Placement
We assist attorneys seeking opportunities with law firms of all sizes, from leading national and international firms to highly respected regional and boutique practices. We take the time to understand what you are looking for and identify opportunities that fit your practice, experience, and career objectives.

In-House Placement
For attorneys interested in moving from private practice to an in-house role, we identify opportunities with corporations, insurance companies, and other organizations seeking experienced legal professionals. We help you evaluate the opportunity and determine whether the position is consistent with your long-term goals.

Partner & Counsel Searches
We work with experienced attorneys, including partners and counsel, who are evaluating opportunities to grow their practices, expand their platform, or pursue a new professional direction. Our understanding of the legal market allows us to identify opportunities that may not be readily apparent through traditional job searches.

Personalized Career Guidance
A successful placement is about more than matching a resume to a job description. We take the time to understand your priorities, circumstances, and objectives so that the opportunities we present are relevant to you. Our role is to provide perspective, facilitate the process, and help you make an informed decision about your next move.

Confidentiality & Discretion
We understand that exploring a career move can be sensitive, particularly for attorneys who are currently employed. All discussions are confidential, and we never present your candidacy to a prospective employer without your knowledge and authorization.
