About The JBar
The JBar Group is a premier legal recruiting firm located in New York, founded by experienced legal recruiter and former practicing attorney Josh Ben-Asher. The company specializes in executive legal recruitment with a unique matchmaking philosophy that focuses on creating well-suited, long-term relationships between attorneys and law firms.
The JBar Group operates with a distinctive matchmaking philosophy, taking seriously their role as career matchmakers who understand that well-suited matches create long and successful relationships. Whether working with attorneys seeking their next career step or law firms needing associates or partners, the company listens carefully to understand each client's unique needs and goals.
The firm's approach is built on three fundamental building blocks: listening attentively to clients, applying extensive industry knowledge and experience, and utilizing their vast network of contacts. This methodology enables them to make quality introductions between attorneys and law firms as efficiently as possible, treating each attorney as an individual with unique requirements.
The JBar Group measures success not from initial placements, but from long-term outcomes - watching associates advance to counsel and partner positions, partners growing their practice with new platforms, and receiving positive feedback from both firms and attorneys years after placement. Their client base spans from AmLaw 50 law firms to small boutique practices, demonstrating their versatility across the legal market.
Recognizing that job search conversations can be sensitive, the firm offers flexible scheduling, being available early mornings, late evenings, and weekends to facilitate open discussions. They provide comprehensive services including thorough candidate screening, in-person or video conference meetings when possible, and personalized attention that prioritizes each client's best interests throughout the recruitment process.
