Some of the most important decisions in a legal career are never advertised. Sullivan Stone works in that quiet space — between the firms that want to grow, and the partners considering their next move.
We are a specialist search firm, deliberately small and senior. Every mandate is led personally and in confidence, from the first conversation to the completed move.
No volume, no databases sent in bulk — only careful introductions between the right firms and the right partners.
Two sides of a search.
Building the practice
We help firm leaders identify, approach, and secure the partners and teams who will define their next decade — quietly, and with judgment.
Considering a move
We advise partners weighing a move on the market, the options, and the timing — confidentially, and with their interests placed first.
What we do.
How we work.
Consult
We begin in confidence — understanding the firm's strategy, or the partner's ambitions, before anything else.
Search
Discreet, thorough mapping of the market — the right people, not simply the available ones.
Advise
We guide both sides through approach, negotiation, and transition, to an outcome that lasts.
A sense of the work.
In confidence.
Whether you are building a team or weighing a move of your own, we would be glad to talk — discreetly, and without obligation.
