Kinney Recruiting began with a simple philosophy: If we work as hard and smart, and if we are as responsive to client needs as the best of our clients and candidates, we will become the premier legal recruiting firm in every market we serve. We have succeeded by gathering over fifty years of legal recruiting and top law firm experience within our organization and leveraging technology to help us help our clients. We also have structured our organization to promote teamwork. As a result, we believe that we know of more “real” jobs, we have more clients who know and respect our work, and we provide more help to more people than any legal recruiting firm in any market we serve.

A significant part of our business is focused on gathering and processing of data related to attorneys and law firms. Our website, open for use by our registered clients and candidates, presents significant information regarding attorney lateral moves, jobs, and law firm data free to the public. In addition to the resources provided here, we systematically collate and compile publicly available and anonymized private data regarding attorneys and employers. If there is something you need to know about law firms or attorneys, let us know. If we don’t have it readily available, we will pull it together.

Our sister company, Counsel Unlimited LLC, provides project attorneys for short and long term projects. As of 2018, our project attorneys range in price from a little over $40/hour to a bit under $300/hour. We are never the low bidders for project attorneys and document reviewers. Our contribution is that we keep track of stars who work on a project basis and seek to pay our people a little better than the competition.
