The traditional legal recruiting process, which focuses on one year of law school performance at a small number of law schools, often misses additional high-quality talent, particularly from first generation law students and those from nontraditional backgrounds.
We pay our attorneys’ salaries and benefits, and we offer training, mentorship, coaching, wellness support, and employment from leaders in the law and business.
Legal Innovators assumes the cost of recruitment and attorney development, while clients get to evaluate potential hires, de-risk the hiring process, and rationalize the price point of junior legal talent.
Law firm and corporate legal department clients pay Legal Innovators an annual fee (payable quarterly) for each placed Legal Innovators attorney. These LI attorneys are solely dedicated to that firm or corporate legal department, working under its supervision and control.
The Council on Legal Education Opportunity, Inc. (CLEO) is a 501(c)(3) national non-profit organization founded in 1968 to expand opportunities for underrepresented students to attend law school.
