For Employers
Exceptional talent, selected for your business.
From a single lateral partner to an entire practice group or a new leadership team, Blackstone finds the people who fit your strategy and your culture — including the ones who never answer a recruiter's call.
What We Do
Search services built around high-stakes hires.
Whether you are planning for succession, expanding a practice, entering a new market or building a legal department, we tailor the search to what is driving it.
Executive Search
CEOs, CFOs, COOs, presidents, VPs and directors. We assess leadership, strategic judgment and cultural fit, not just experience on paper.
Lateral Partners
Partners with portable business who strengthen your platform. We look at book, client synergies and potential conflicts before any introduction.
Group Moves & Office Openings
Moving a practice group or launching in a new city takes coordination across many people and locations. We manage the conversations and timing so the group integrates for the long term.
Associates & Counsel
Lateral associates and counsel across transactional, litigation and regulatory practices, from mid-level through senior.
In-House Legal Teams
General Counsel, Deputy GCs, corporate and commercial counsel, and compliance leaders for public, private and PE-backed companies.
Confidential Searches
Replacements and sensitive hires handled discreetly, with your organization's name shared only when you are ready.
Our Approach
Three phases, done thoroughly.
Whether we are searching for a General Counsel or a group of lateral partners, every engagement follows the same disciplined approach.
Step 1: Understand what's driving the search
We meet with your leadership to learn why you are hiring now — succession, growth, a new practice or a new market — and define the seniority, experience and cultural fit that matter. For law firms, we assess client synergies and potential conflicts from the start.
Step 2: Reach the right people, personally
We build a curated target list, review it with you, and approach each candidate personally by phone, email and LinkedIn. That is how we reach strong people who are not looking — and we interview every candidate before they are presented to you.
Step 3: Guide the process to a close
We run the interview process, keep expectations realistic on both sides and act as a trusted intermediary through offer and negotiation, so small misunderstandings never derail the right hire.
Our Commitments
What you can expect from us.
No surprises in your inbox
We never submit a candidate without speaking to them first and receiving their consent, so everyone you see is qualified and genuinely interested.
Quality over quantity
A short list of candidates who have been properly vetted, not a stack of résumés to sort through.
Direct communication
Regular updates, honest feedback and a single point of contact who knows your search inside out.
Fit that lasts
We put the needs of the organization and the candidate first, together, because a placement only counts if it succeeds for years.
