“In the fast-paced world of elite legal practice, time is your most valuable asset. Navigating a lateral move can be overwhelming, especially when top law firm associates and partners are focused on major matters that limit their ability to stay ahead of the lateral market. That’s where I come in. With a proven track record of placement success and deep connections with top firms, I streamline your journey, ensuring you secure the best offer while firms find their ideal candidates. My unwavering commitment is to maximize your success, leaving no stone unturned until you achieve your objectives.”

Will’s comprehensive approach to talent acquisition involves guiding premier lawyers through the entire lateral process, from initial interviews and target firm selections to representation and negotiations. His dedication to tracking down every possible avenue of success ensures that both candidates and firms achieve their best outcomes.
Will earned his JD from the University of Houston Law Center and graduated from the University of Alabama cum laude with a BA in Criminal Justice.
