The Davis

The Davis is a premier legal recruitment agency founded by Bill Davis, who has worked in the largest and most competitive legal market in the United States for 30 years. Based in New York, The Davis stands as one of the city's most respected attorney search consultants, recognized for their personalized approach and unwavering integrity. The firm specializes exclusively in legal recruitment, serving premier national and international law firms as well as in-house legal departments.

The Davis Group operates as a full-service, national legal search boutique with a client base that includes premier national and international law firms, midsize and boutique practices, smaller legal practices, and in-house legal departments across companies, banks, and funds. Bill Davis founded the firm after spending eight years as Director of Recruiting in the New York City headquarters of a global law firm, giving him a distinctive perspective that benefits both candidates and employers.

The firm's approach is built on three core pillars: confidentiality, bespoke search services, and a trusted network with industry respect. Confidentiality extends to employers, candidates, and referral sources at all times, with strict codes of conduct governing information sharing. Their bespoke search methodology is entirely candidate-driven, with no 'industry standard' approach - instead offering personalized and evaluative services from start to finish without unnecessary timing expectations.

The Davis Group has built lasting relationships over 30 years, with word-of-mouth and repeat business playing important roles in their success. One of their most notable accomplishments was the placement of an entire litigation group of 67 attorneys from one global law firm to another. They are constantly evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of the legal industry while maintaining their core values of local, personalized services, trusted relationships, and in-depth knowledge of the job market.

Bill Davis is an active member of NALSC (National Association of Legal Search Consultants) and has served as an officer for NYCRA (New York City Recruiting Association). He has also been a member and conference presenter for both NALP (National Association of Law Placement) and SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management), demonstrating his commitment to professional excellence and industry leadership.
