Why Veritas Lex?

Because we have the best chance of finding you a better law job.

More opportunities: In addition to informing a candidate about publicly advertised positions, we further identify firms that we know from experience would be interested in the candidate's professional profile. We discuss the different strengths and weaknesses of each firm with the candidate, and then contact only the firms that the candidate selects.

Better presentation: Just as in many realms of life, the presentation of a candidate can be as important as their substance. Thus, before making any submission to prospective employers, we assist candidates in preparing resumes and business plans that best highlight the candidate's accomplishments that firms care about; we also meticulously review alternative writing samples and recommend the one we think makes the best impression. Before interviews, we meet with candidates personally to assess their interviewing skills (making suggestions when appropriate) and let them know who they will be meeting and provide background information on each pulled from Nexis and other sources.

Better representation: We act as the candidate’s representative in negotiating with the firm regarding compensation, timing of the move, and other issues of concern to the candidate.

As one successfully placed candidate recently wrote, “Larry understands both lawyers and the legal market better than any other legal recruiter in town and as a result provides excellent strategic and practical advice in exploring job opportunities. Of equal importance, he treats the candidates with whom he works with respect (e.g., never wasting their time, promptly returning phone calls, and providing comments and edits on materials in a matter of hours)… After I received competing offers, he met with me over the weekend (the only time I ever saw him not wearing a suit and tie) to discuss the pros and cons of each.”
