Building Market-Leading Legal Teams Across Six U.S. Offices

Leading international law firm with a significant U.S. presence

OVERVIEW

Over a three-year partnership, Hunton Blake supported a leading international law firm’s continued growth across multiple U.S. offices and practice groups, helping strengthen both leadership depth and technical expertise across M&A, Real Estate, Litigation, and Business Law.

Recruiting for an international firm across multiple markets requires more than access to talent. It requires a precise understanding of how practice groups function, what partnership track candidates are evaluating, and where the genuine depth in the market sits.
THE CHALLENGE

The firm was experiencing sustained growth across several key practice areas and required a trusted recruitment partner capable of identifying exceptional legal talent across multiple markets. Maintaining the firm’s standards, culture, and long-term strategic objectives across geographically dispersed offices added significant complexity to each search.

THE APPROACH

Hunton Blake conducted targeted searches across six U.S. offices, identifying candidates at the Senior Associate and Partner level across M&A, Real Estate, Litigation, and Business Law practice groups. Each mandate was approached with a focus on technical calibre, cultural fit, and alignment with the firm’s long-term growth objectives.

THE OUTCOME

More than 20 successful placements across six U.S. offices, spanning M&A, Real Estate, Litigation, and Business Law. Placements ranged from Senior Associate to Partner level, supporting the firm’s continued expansion and strengthening key practice groups across multiple markets.

POST-PLACEMENT IMPACT

The partnership contributed to sustained practice group growth across the firm’s U.S. platform, with Hunton Blake delivering consistent quality across multiple geographies and disciplines over a three-year engagement.
