    Managing Director at Cardinal Search Partners

    Mid-Level NYC & SF ECVC Associates: One of the premier Big Law firms in this space is looking for an associate to join their team! You'll work on sophisticated transactions (from corporate counseling to fundraising and financing) for cutting edge clients in industries including artificial intelligence, fin tech, life sciences, and digital health. Your practice would cover both company-side work (for companies in all stages of their life cycles) and investor-side work (for everything from seed funds to family offices to established venture capital funds). This is the perfect role for you if you're looking to work with the best of the best and interface with high-profile entrepreneurs and investors. Email me at akatsampes@cardinalsp.com if you're interested.

  • As we quickly approach year-end, we want to highlight a new 2024 client relationship that has been highly productive for the Cardinal team (and so much fun)! We have made several placements at various levels with Schwartz Sladkus Reich Greenberg Atlas LLP and are very excited to continue partnering with this team in 2025 and beyond. We are mildly obsessed with this picture of the founding partners the night before they launched their firm 10 years ago. Fast forward, they are now 66 lawyers and crushing it!  We can't wait to see what next year brings!

  • One of our most enjoyable invitations of the year came knocking last month – morning coffee with the illustrious Fried Frank recruiting duo, Justina Gonzalez Fabrizio and Megan Lesser (up from DC!)! It’s awesome to see what our candidates get to see when they interview at One New York Plaza. Honestly, we don’t know what was best – the conversation, the newly renovated offices or the views. Three way tie!

  • Our Cardinal Search team members raved about their recent meeting with our highly impressive, incredibly approachable law firm client, Clifford Chance Americas! They shared with us great intel on their growth and anticipated growth in New York - we invite you to reach out and hear all about it! Side note - their new space is incredible! Yes, that IS a golf simulator available on premises – who wouldn’t want to work on their handicap in between representations? Hit ‘em straight, Clifford Chance – we are big fans! #cardinalsearch #lawfirms #lateralhiring

    Even the strongest interviewers benefit from interview prep! I spent an hour last night with one of my candidates, preparing for the next day’s interview. It didn’t take an hour because she struggled. Quite the opposite – she is highly persuasive and conversational. But she hadn’t interviewed since law school and interviewing as a lateral, especially as a senior lateral, is MUCH different. We covered so much ground.  Cardinal’s interview prep is arguably more in-depth than ANY interview you are going to face and that’s how we want it. And it certainly helps when we know what the interviewers are going to ask!  Keep this in mind when you decide whether to use a legal recruiter and which recruiter to use. PREP IS A PIVOTAL PART OF THE PROCESS.   #cardinalsearch #interviewprep #legalhiring

    Cardinal took its partnership with Harvard Law School to the next level last week with its first IN-PERSON discussion of the New York legal market. The 1L turnout was impressive – a packed house! Awesome to see how seriously and thoughtfully these students are already taking their 2L summer decision-making process. We look forward to being a resource to them all next year!     #legalcareer #BigLaw #cardinalsearch
