Princeton Legal Search Group was known to me through their work at the American Museum of Natural History, and I engaged them when we began the search for NYSCI’s first General Counsel. Since this was a newly created executive role, we needed a partner who could think beyond legal competencies and help us define the position’s shape, scope, and strategic impact.
Princeton Legal Search did exactly that. They provided insight into what a first General Counsel must bring to a museum environment, encompassing tax-exempt and regulatory requirements, as well as philanthropic, donor engagement, and governance considerations. The candidates they presented were exceptionally strong, each with the bench strength, judgment, and leadership capabilities to meet our needs.
Their slate was so impressive that our process shifted from whether someone could do the job to more critical questions of career trajectory, cultural alignment, and long-term fit.
We ultimately hired an outstanding General Counsel who is the right match for where NYSCI is today and has the capacity to grow with us as we evolve. Throughout the search, Princeton Legal partnered closely with us, providing debriefs after each interview round and guiding us through the offer development and acceptance process.
I highly endorse Princeton Legal Search Group for their strategic partnership, search expertise, and ability to identify and attract exceptional General Counsel talent.
