Sage Legal Search, LLC

Description

Sage Legal Search LLC was established by Robin Cohen and Judy Simon in 2002. Thanks in large part to the two principals' solid instincts and combined legal and recruiting experience, their client list has grown exponentially. Sage boasts successful placements nationwide in law firms and in corporations. Originally known for its focus on intellectual property placement, Sage now works with a wide variety of practice areas. Robin and Judy weave their recruiting magic in a centrally-located office in Manhattan, complete with tasteful and realistic faux plants (both principals would rather nurture their clients than a temperamental ficus), a bottomless candy jar and an eclectic selection of Judy's iPod music. The strengths of the two women complement each other well. Robin is deliberate, dependable and supportive with an unfailing dedication to research and analysis. Judy, the Yin to Robin's Yang, has a straight-talking, shoot-from-the-hip style and relies strongly on her finely-honed and highly accurate "gut instinct." While Judy works outside the box, Robin makes sure no box is left unopened. Since both principals are actively and personally involved with any project Sage undertakes, every client benefits from the seamless integration of these qualities. Robin and Judy have drawn on their extensive connections from all corners of the legal field to create and maintain a state of the art database of exceptional attorneys. It is what they do with that database, however, that sets Sage Legal Search apart from its competition. Using their experience and intuition, they effectively identify, screen and evaluate candidates for opportunities and opportunities for candidates. While this judicious approach often reduces the volume of candidates or opportunities presented, it produces matches between applicants and employers that will flourish and promise to be mutually rewarding. This sage, thoughtful and highly ethical philosophy has resulted in countless word of mouth referrals and numerous return clients.
