"We're equally proud of the reputation we've earned among major rainmakers as the go-to firms for taking their practices to the next level. I could not be more excited about the future for our newly combined firms."
Mark Jungers, co-founder of Lippman Jungers, expressed his enthusiasm about the merger, stating, "Joining forces represented a unique opportunity to supercharge our collective vision to be the best and most trusted legal recruiting firm in the world. In the months and years ahead, we will raise the bar of our concierge service to a new level for our clients and candidates.”
