Many intangibles are critically important to the success of a match-up, whether it involves in-house or law firm placement, a merger or an acquisition. Compatibility in practice, billing rates and compensation are important issues. 

However, we believe strongly that compatibility in philosophy, management style, culture and the manner in which lawyers interact with each other are also crucial. A headhunter's sensitivity to a lawyer’s unique needs as well as that of the law firm are enormously important to the success of the marriage between the two. 

Our previous substantial placement experience in dealing with executives in the corporate sector and solving career issues has been helpful to our analysis and success in working with attorneys. Esquire's knowledge of law firms and the dynamics behind the scenes (not necessarily gleaned from glossy firm resumes) is a significant part of our matchmaking success. The "touchy-feely" issues of compatibility and "fit" cannot be underestimated, especially in today's rapidly changing and increasingly competitive law firm and business climate.
