Dear Judged
Where are the good regional/medium sized firms?I am an evening law student in Washington, DC, who graduates in May
2007. My school only seems to bring the big law firms on campus. Besides
fruitless hours of combing through Martindale-Hubbell, are there any
sources that list the best boutique firms?
Thanks!

Dear amdc,
Although all LexisNexis search capabilities are extremely helpful, their
Martindale-Hubbell lawyer locator is not the only way to find the small
boutique firms that specialize in niche practice areas. Definitely look
into the International Network of Boutique Law Firms website. The have a
list of firms all over the world, as well as offering up-to-date legal
news.
Vault is also a good service to use. You can search the Vault
Job Board, which often has listings for employment with boutique firms, at
http://www.vault.com/. This website not
only lists jobs, but also offers information on companies and industries,
as well as job advice and other services.
There are a number of legal
staffing agencies that could help you narrow your search, and would filter
out jobs that don’t meet your specifications. Some of these include
roberthalflegal.com, bcgsearch.com, and lawcrossing.com. These are all
sites that cater to the legal profession, which might be a better way to
search than with general job-search sites like monster.com or
careerbuilder.com.
You can, essentially, find boutique firms just by
searching the web. I tried Google-ing “boutique firms”, and the
search results included not only job-finding sites, but actual job
listings.
So, it may be easier than you think to find boutique firms.
The only thing I should add is that you want to make sure that a firm
calling themselves a boutique firm actually specializes in a certain area
of practice. Boutique firms are the new hot thing right now, and you just
want to make sure that the firm you are considering is not just calling
themselves a boutique firm as a marketing tactic. Do your research. Visit
firm websites and read about what they do, this will help you determine
where you want to go.
