American Placement Group is a legal search firm specializing in the placement of attorneys with law firms, corporations, and other organizations throughout the United States.
Founded on the belief that successful recruiting is built on relationships rather than volume, American Placement Group has spent more than fifteen years developing a strong network within the legal community. Our experience spans a broad range of practice areas and attorney levels, from associates and counsel to partners and senior legal professionals.
We work with both attorneys and employers, providing a personalized approach to the search process. For attorneys, this means gaining access to opportunities that may not be publicly advertised and receiving knowledgeable guidance throughout the process. For our clients, it means identifying qualified legal professionals whose experience and objectives align with their specific needs.
Our recruiters bring a practical understanding of the legal market and the factors that influence career decisions—from compensation and partnership opportunities to practice development, workplace culture, flexibility, and long-term career objectives.
Whether assisting an attorney with a lateral move, identifying a partner with a portable practice, or helping an organization build its legal team, our objective remains the same: to create relationships and placements that work for both sides.
We believe that recruiting is ultimately about people, not resumes. We take pride in the relationships we build and in providing the professionalism, discretion, and personal attention our candidates and clients deserve.
