Hiring organizations include corporate in-house legal departments at mid-tier to Fortune 500 companies, as well as boutique to global 100 law firms nationwide.
“Since the launch of our legal contract service offering in Los Angeles in 2013, we have seen steady and growing demand for these services in an evolving legal environment,” said Steven Lynch, Managing Partner of Lucas Group’s Atlanta Legal Division. “Law firms and corporations clearly need a contract talent solutions provider, and Lucas Group is committed to being that partner.”
Associates recently onboarded to fortify the Contract Legal Solutions team possess expertise in legal recruitment and are strategically located from coast to coast.

Hall conveys in a recent article why hiring contracted attorneys is an increasingly viable solution in today’s variable business climate. “Given the speed at which talented legal contractors hit the ground running, this high-value solution goes a long way in stemming attrition, and reducing hiring and recruiting costs for hiring companies,” she said. “These are among the most compelling reasons driving demand for contract talent today.”
The availability of well credentialed contract attorneys is also growing across industries and legal practice areas. According to Greiten, “The dynamic in the legal market for contract talent means the types of projects available to attorneys are extremely varied. It’s a whole new world for attorneys and paralegals, particularly for those with a corporate/finance background, or those who can leverage large-firm experience to land projects requiring prior exposure to complex commercial litigation.” Greiten recently penned an article revealing what today’s corporations and law firms are looking for in legal contractors.
In addition to full-service legal industry recruitment, Lucas Group specializes in executive and contract recruitment services for six other functionalities, including Accounting & Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, Manufacturing, Military Transition, and Sales & Marketing.
