Coherent Perspective

Lois R. Weiner Consultants, Inc specializes in recruiting partners for highly ranked law firms of all sizes. For decades, law firms throughout the US and UK have relied on Lois and her colleagues for their targeted expansion needs in New York City.

Lois has nurtured deep relationships with decision-making partners in New York’s legal community. Based on experience, she has developed an intuitive understanding of individual personalities and partnership dynamics. This, coupled with her intense research protocol and natural curiosity, enables her to accurately and repeatedly create winning and long-lasting matches.

Focused

Lois carefully listens to a client’s professional objectives in order to craft an effective individualized recruitment strategy. Since there are more similarities amongst law firms as institutions than there are differences, Lois identifies those firms whose platforms present specific opportunities for professional advancement along with economic growth for a given candidate or group. Lois is prepared to analyze the comparative advantages and disadvantages of every suggested referral. Candidates meet those partners who can and will facilitate the recruitment process.

Custom Analytics

Lois Weiner is a trusted advisor and recruiter to law firms with outstanding practice sets. Based on a keen understanding of the evolution of the four generic law firm models (global, international, regional and boutique/marquee), Lois has pioneered a distinct approach to search. By analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of individual firms in each model, she is better positioned to pair the candidate with the appropriate paradigm.

Equitable

Lois has extensive experience assisting in compensation negotiations that incentivize and provide equitable financial arrangements consistent with a candidate(s) practice base and profitably of the host firm. “Gotcha-deals” are more likely to fail than to succeed, exacerbating turnover issues. In stark contrast, long-term success is predicted when the firm and candidate(s) negotiate an economic agreement that incentivizes both.

Discrete

Lois understands, respects, and honors the fundamental need for confidentiality during the search process as well as in continuing conversations.
