The firm was founded in 1995 by Elaine Makris Williams, Esq., who now serves as the CEO. Williams has 23 years of experience in the legal recruiting field, during which time she has successfully served multinational corporations and law firms. She is a recognized informant on topics related to the legal job market and regularly speaks and writes on such trends. Furthermore, she has served as an expert witness for lawsuits involving attorney employment and recruiting issues.

Williams earned her law degree from the University of Texas School of Law. Prior to entering the legal recruiting business in 1988, she was a practicing attorney at a large Austin firm, where she specialized in bank and real estate work. She currently serves on the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors for the Houston Area Women's Center, where she has offered her time to chair its Race against Violence every year since 2008.

MS Legal Search attributes its success to its methods of providing personalized service to each client and candidate. With an emphasis on honesty, the firm is able to provide personalized information on the marketability of both clients and candidates. As a result of working to meet the individual needs of those who they work with, counselors with MS Legal Search have developed long-term client relationships, as well as establishing numerous valuable contacts in the legal community. 84% of the firm's business comes from returning clients and referrals.

Providing successful matches between employers and candidates is of utmost importance to MS Legal Search. In order to do this, the firm interviews clients to gain a thorough understanding of their goals before screening the appropriate candidates on the basis of credentials, legal experience, anticipated compensation, and character. This service saves the client both time and effort by minimizing the number of candidates and providing only the best matches. If a placement fails and the employee leaves or is let go, MS Legal Search provides a replacement candidate or a refund. The amount of the refund varies depending on how long the attorney candidate was employed for.

Typically, MS Legal Search looks for attorney candidates with admirable academic records from the top law schools. Relevant legal experience with recognized firms is also desired. MS Legal Search works only with experienced lawyers due to the fact that most new graduate positions are filled by the actual employer, rather than through a legal recruiter. Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their resumes via e-mail.
