What People Are Saying

“PLSG played an integral role in my transition from an AmLaw 100 firm to one of the country’s largest cultural not-for-profit institutions.  Mary Clare provided invaluable industry guidance and answered all of my inquiries throughout the process.  She was genuinely invested in my success,  and I am grateful for her continued support.”

- -Counsel, Major Non-Profit Institution

I’m just about two months into my first in-house position after almost 10 years as a “biglaw” associate. I couldn’t have wished for a better fit. Fortunately, Mary Clare knew my new employer well enough to know a good match when she saw one, and she made sure that I had a chance to prove her right.

She was fantastic during every step of my transition. She answered my questions about the position and about the company—promptly and substantively. And, importantly, she did a fantastic job preparing me for the interviews.

I learned a couple of valuable lessons in this process—go with a recruiter that takes the time to know the company, and that the company trusts. Mary Clare obviously has earned my employer’s trust.

“My experience with David Garber and Princeton Legal Search Group has been first-class every step of the way.  I wasn’t actively looking for a new opportunity when David and I first connected, but as we got more acquainted he told me about a role for which he believed I might be a good match.  What followed was an extraordinarily personalized, responsive, and honest process that resulted in me making a well-informed decision to accept an exciting offer.  I’m very grateful to David and his company and strongly recommend them to employers and candidates alike.”
