Lockridge Partners is a specialized recruiting agency serving top-tier law firms and healthcare organizations. We run contingency and retained searches with the rigor of a large firm and the precision of a dedicated partner.
Lockridge Partners was built on a simple conviction: the best placements happen when a recruiter understands your world as well as you do. We don't flood inboxes with resumes. We qualify deeply, move deliberately, and show up as a true partner — from first call to signed offer.
Our practice spans two verticals — legal and healthcare — where the talent markets are specialized, the stakes are high, and the margin for error is low. Whether you're an AmLaw firm, a regional powerhouse, or a boutique practice seeking top legal talent, or a healthcare organization building a therapy team, we bring the same focused attention to every search.
We know the lateral market, compensation benchmarks, and what candidates actually want — not just what's on a resume.
No fluff, no false timelines. We tell you what we're seeing in the market and where your search stands — always.
We work as an extension of your team, protecting your brand and representing your opportunity with care.
We've built genuine expertise in two demanding markets. That focus means better candidate quality, faster fills, and fewer surprises.
Placing associates, of counsel, partners, and paralegals across all major practice areas at AmLaw 100, AmLaw 200, mid-law, regional, and boutique firms nationwide. We understand practice group dynamics, portable business considerations, and what attorneys at every level are actually looking for in a move.
Specializing in physical therapy and allied health permanent placement. We connect skilled clinicians with outpatient practices, hospital systems, and specialty clinics — matching culture and clinical fit with the same rigor we bring to legal searches.
We offer two search models structured to match your hiring urgency, budget, and level of required exclusivity.
No upfront cost. You pay only upon a successful placement. Ideal for associate-level hires and searches where speed and volume of candidates matter. We work in parallel with your timeline and deliver qualified candidates fast.
For senior, confidential, or difficult-to-fill roles requiring dedicated attention. A retained engagement gives you exclusivity, deeper market mapping, and our full resources committed to your search from day one through placement.
We work directly with attorneys — from associates to partners — and healthcare professionals navigating a lateral move. Resume positioning, market intelligence, offer negotiation guidance — we help candidates make moves that genuinely advance their careers.
"We don't measure success by resumes sent. We measure it by offers accepted — and relationships that last."
Discuss Your Search →A focused, repeatable process that keeps searches on track and clients informed at every stage.
We start with a deep intake call to understand not just the role requirements, but your firm culture, team dynamics, and what an ideal candidate actually looks like beyond the resume.
We source actively — not just from our existing pipeline, but from targeted outreach into the market. Every candidate is assessed against your specific criteria before introduction.
We present a shortlist with substantive write-ups, coordinate interviews efficiently, and debrief both sides after each stage to keep momentum and surface misalignments early.
We manage the offer process — compensation structure, timeline, competing situations — and stay close through resignation, notice period, and first-day start to ensure a clean transition.
Whether you're a firm looking to hire or a candidate exploring your next move, we'd like to hear from you. We respond to all inquiries within one business day.
