Lateral Partners

We work with partner candidates to maximize their opportunities and value in the lateral market.  Founding partner Mason Kalfus spent approximately 10 years “in house” at law firms recruiting, interviewing and evaluating partner candidates.  Ellen Musante spent much of her career (over 30 years) working with lateral partners on integration and marketing at their new firm.  This experience gives Zenith a unique insight into how law firms evaluate and integrate lateral partner candidates.  We help candidates craft resumes, business plans, and lateral partner questionnaires to get the deal done.  We are experts at preparing our candidates for interviews (both in-person and virtual during the COVID-19 pandemic).  Once interviewing is complete, we assist with negotiations and other details to ensure candidates have a smooth transition to their new position.  All conversations and written discussions are held in the absolute strictest of confidence. No candidate is ever submitted to any firm or potential employer without specific consent and all candidates are regularly updated on the status of the process.
