Attorney Opportunities
JSA works with attorneys across a range of practice areas and experience levels, including associates, counsel, lateral partners, practice leaders and attorneys considering in-house opportunities.
We look beyond title and technical background. Practice strength, client relationships, career goals, leadership interests, compensation expectations, culture and long-term fit can all influence whether an opportunity is the right next step.
Whether you are actively considering a move or simply interested in understanding the market, we can help you evaluate opportunities thoughtfully.
Professional & Executive Opportunities
JSA also works with executives and other professionals pursuing leadership and business-critical roles with law firms, companies and professional-services organizations.
These searches may include C-suite executives, COOs, CFOs, CMOs, executive directors, business-development and marketing professionals, technology and IT leaders, finance and operations professionals and other specialized roles.
Our focus remains the same: understanding the candidate, the organization and the long-term fit.

JSA treats candidate conversations with discretion and works carefully to protect your privacy and professional relationships throughout the process.
You do not need to be actively looking for a new position to have a conversation with us.
