legal authority

At Legal Authority, we are getting attorneys positions every day of the week because what we can do for you actually works. According to the National Association of Law Placement: “The most common means of obtaining a job was a letter or other “self-initiated contact” with the employer…” Consider: We have the largest database of legal employers in the World and there is probably better than a 99.9% chance that your next legal job will be with an employer in our database. How you get to them is up to you … you can do it now or you can do it later.

Be smart.

In today’s legal market, over 85% of all available attorney positions are never publicized. The most efficient way to get these positions is through targeted mailing. Legal search firms fill less than 5% of all available positions. We have heard over and over again that “networking” is simply not the most effective approach. Ads posted on job posting boards or in classified sections of legal newspapers often draw well over 1,000 responses.

We are not a recruiting firm or a job posting board. Simply put, we are the legal profession’s direct link to employers. At Legal Authority’s core is our strategy of allowing individuals to apply to legal jobs on their own, which drives our capabilities into a one-of-a-kind employment continuum, with our database at its center. We can cover any given market more efficiently, cost-effectively and in less time than any source, anywhere.

Choose professionals

We have a staff of over 30 people who are updating our contact information 24 hours a day. Nobody tries harder to get attorneys positions. In addition, one of our attorneys will effectively revise your resume and cover letter to ensure that it is as good as possible. Do not make the mistake of approaching employers without having professionals review and revise your resume and cover letter.

Delay at your own cost

With salaries for most attorneys exceeding $50,000, delay can be extremely costly. At an annual salary of $120,000, for example, you are losing $10,000 each month you are not working. This does not even reflect the amount of money you are losing in benefits and other employer-sponsored perks. If you are unhappy with your current position, or your organization is in trouble, the emotional costs of remaining with an employer can be even more severe.

Choose Legal Authority!

All we do is assist attorneys in getting positions. We are empathetic with each attorney’s particular circumstances and we will do our absolute best to assist you. We have the largest database of legal employers anywhere. However you are going about your job search, getting your resume in front of the decision makers is what it is all about. We can help you get your information in front of the people you need in order to get the jobs you want.

Have you ever heard of Legal Authority? Think hard. You may have seen it somewhere in a magazine or on a website or on a billboard. Did you every wonder what Legal Authority is?

It’s the best kept secret of job seekers nationwide. More attorneys and law students find jobs using Legal Authority than any other source in the world. Most legal professionals are aware of the fact that over 75% of legal jobs are filled by word-of-mouth, not by job openings. Using Legal Authority’s aggressive career marketing program, they are able to dominate a job market and generate interviews while friends and colleagues are unable to even get a phone call.

You can tap into the hidden job market. Legal Authority has the world’s most sophisticated database of legal employers, containing up-to-date hiring contacts and classifications for specific criteria such as size, revenue, industry/practice area, and location. With your input, we will use this database to identify every single legal employer that meets your specific interests and search criteria. Somewhere in that market, your next job awaits. We just have to find it.

A good resume and cover letter can make a difference. Our skilled writers will craft a perfect resume and cover letter for the market you are approaching. You get the final say over the documents, of course, and our writers will work with you until we have an exemplary set of documents that will highlight your skills and illustrate your marketability. One of the most frequent comments our clients hear from employers nationwide is how impressed each employer was with the resume and cover letter. This level of perfection never goes unnoticed.

Numbers, numbers, numbers. Legal Authority will print out the completed, addressed application materials that we send to your door. All you do is sign each letter and stamp each envelope. As a result, mailing out hundreds of letters to employers and getting interviews by the handful only takes minimal effort on your part. And, with hundreds of thousands of legal employers nationwide, hundreds of letters are necessary for you to get your foot in the door. Legal Authority’s aggressive strategy is marketing at its purest, and we always win when playing the numbers game.

There’s always a catch. Except with Legal Authority. There is no catch. You are our client, and we will go to the greatest effort possible to give you the best chance you have at finding your next (or first) legal job.

Legal Authority was built on the belief that there is no point in doing something if it is not done at its very highest level and better than anyone else. I can say that we are the undisputed world leader in the attorney mass mailing service. And our efforts will only continue to improve. The reasons we are the undisputed world leader, and will continue to dominate the market are described below:

First, we have more potential legal jobs and hiring contacts than any single source on Earth. There is no one with more hiring contacts—anywhere. When we started, we knew that there was no reason to do what we were doing unless we did it all. This was a massive goal—and still is on a daily basis. But it is one we have achieved and continue to achieve.

Second, we are aggressively using technology. Recent changes, such as the compact search, and the ability to upload thousands of corrected records in seconds, have improved efficiencies of our workforce by over 2.5 times. We need to continue aggressively using technology to experience the levels of market domination we should.

Third, we stress an outstanding work product in all we do. While our review and revision of cover letters and resumes may seem like and unnecessarily time consuming task—and one that detracts from our profits—it should be noted that we are committed to doing exceptional work. To this end, we have almost from day one had a professional writer on staff to ensure this work is done in a timely manner. In addition, our production department consistently keeps stressing a quality and first-rate work product that is error free. To date, we have done an exceptional job with this.

Fourth, we are a team. There is little doubt that we are a team here! In fact, I would question any organization to try and be more of a team than us. Work can be fun and we can do excellent work at the same time. We are proving this on a daily basis with all we do. Our weekly Attorney Employment Advocate and Production Department meetings have proven an outstanding tool to ensuring we are all in the same team.

Fifth, we exist because we want to help those who have proven they are worthy of help. This organization was founded simply because there was no source in existence which would do all they could to assist attorneys. Our work is noble and has profound significance. We are helping people who deserve our help because they are people who have taken efforts to help themselves by attending law school and completing a rigorous curriculum.

We need to constantly be aware that our goal is to make a meaningful difference in peoples’ lives and that we can do this. We are often people’s last stop in their job search; however, we are without a doubt the most potentially effective stop. There is no more effective way for an attorney to get a job than by using our service—anywhere. In fact, there has never been. We are making history here and changing lives for the better on a daily basis.

Quite frankly, Legal Authority is not something that every law student in the United States should be using. And not every law student Legal Authority works with gets a job using our service.

However, thousands of law students do get jobs using our service each year. We work with well over 100 law students per week who are seeking their first position. Our service is comprehensive: Our attorneys counsel law students about appropriate positions for them to apply to, rewrite their resume and cover letter, and provide them with professionally printed cover letters and envelopes to sign and mail. The average cost of our service is most often less than $500 for every law student we assist.

Our attorneys generally spend at least an hour talking with each individual law student and then several hours redoing their resumes and cover letters. In addition, we spend far in excess of $1 million each year maintaining a database that contains the information students need to apply for jobs: What type of practice areas is the student interested in? What type of employer does the student want to work for—a law firm, the federal or state government, a public interest organization, a corporation? Where does the student want to live? What size law firm does the student want to work for?

Certainly, on-campus interviewing, relationships with employers, and other means are good ways for students to get jobs—they always have been and always will be. However, we believe that our service is a profoundly effective way to ensure that law students find the precise job they are looking for when this job might not be available from more traditional sources. There is strength in numbers and because thousands of students use our service each year, we are able to offer a service far more effective than many law schools have the time, or the money, to offer.

Legal Authority helps attorneys and law students manage their career moves more effectively and successfully. We are not a recruiting firm retained by a law firm or company to screen candidates for positions. Legal Authority is working on your behalf, helping you contact employers that meet your needs. By making more quality contacts, you can produce more phone calls, interviews, and job offers than you can by reaching employers through a recruiter and risking a price tag of 25%-50% of your salary affecting your chances negatively. This is accomplished through the design of high impact resumes and their targeted distribution in the marketplace.

If you would like to increase the impact of your resume and increase the effectiveness of your overall career marketing, let our Attorney Employment Advocates answer your questions about your career goals.

DELAY IS EXPENSIVE. Each month you remain under-employed or unemployed can cost you thousands of dollars. In addition, under-marketing yourself is the single most expensive thing you will do in your life. Put our resources to work for you. Just by registering, you have made a giant step in that direction. We look forward to helping you meet your career objectives.
