We recently worked with Mark to fill a role of General Counsel. We were incredibly pleased with the entire experience, including a) his ability to deliver top tier candidates, b) ability to deliver candidates on a very tight timeframe, c) the depth of Mark's contacts in the legal industry, d) his ability to leverage references and other sources in the industry to provide deeper insight into a candidate's work experience, e) his assistance in comparing and selecting final candidates including the cultural fit of the candidates (which was important in our case) and f) his overall professionalism. I would strongly recommend using Mark for a search for a General Counsel.

Associate General Counsel - Litigation & HSE, Public Company
When Mark contacted me, I had not worked with him before. But he had placed a number of my former colleagues—all of whom I thought were outstanding attorneys and, more importantly, enjoyable to work with.

Mark had done his research and matched me up with a great opportunity. He wasn't just trying to place me. He looks for the right fit, in terms of personality, competence and advancement. Simply put, Mark's a top-notch recruiter.

Whether you're a candidate or an employer, I recommend giving Mark a call.
Director of Intellectual Property, Fortune 500

Mark is the go-to person in the Texas legal market for top-notch legal resourcing. His network is without parallel and I love that he is responsive and quickly understands how to get the best "fit" for a team. I would highly recommend Mark's services if you need the best candidate to show up.

VP, General Counsel, Private Company

I really enjoyed working with Mark to help me find the perfect in-house position. Mark was attentive to my needs, understood the position I was looking for, and was prompt in responding to my inquiries. Mark's relationship with my current employer enabled him to provide detailed information about the position and ensure that my employer and I were a good fit for one another. Highly recommend working with Mark.

Associate General Counsel, Corporate and Compliance, Public Company

Mark has helped us on various legal searches along the last ten years. He knows the market very well and all the candidates hired through Mark have been very successful with us. I highly recommend Mark.

Assistant General Counsel, Private Company

Mark is an incredible matchmaker between senior legal professionals and the businesses that need their expertise.

General Counsel, Private Company

Mark is a great recruiter. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He makes a process that could otherwise be unnerving, into a pleasant and informed experience. I would work with him again and would highly recommend him.

General Counsel, Private Company

As one who has been on both sides of the recruiting process, both as a candidate and as a hiring manager to fill positions, I would highly recommend Mark. As a candidate, he is very in tune with the market and gives his candidates the personal attention candidates like out of their recruiter to help them walk through their search process. Those same qualities are what I believe make him successful in filling positions with clients—he takes the time to understand the client's needs so he can place the best candidate possible.

Associate General Counsel, Public Company

Mark acted on behalf of my current employer in the search for a general counsel. I was and remain very impressed with his handling of the engagement.

Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Private Company

I would recommend Mark to an employer looking to add to their team or a legal professional seeking an advocate for their next career move.
