What can lockwood & Park offer you?
career consultation
You know your career goals better than anyone. We know how to get you where you want to go. With direct lines of communication into every top firm in the city, we’re able to make sure you’re only considering opportunities that make sense for your individual situation.
Resume editing
We go over every resume we receive with a fine tooth comb. We’ve looked at thousands of resumes and we’re on top of the latest trends in the market. We make sure that your resume is in pristine condition before we put it at the top of the pile. We want to put you in a situation where the hiring partners don’t even look at the rest of the pile of resumes from other applicants.
interview coaching
Before you interview with any firm, we give you direct insight into the questions you’ll be asked, the questions you should ask, and the most effective way to structure your points. The amount of insight we can offer here is unmatched in the legal recruiting industry.
ASK the right questions
Associates overlook this opportunity all the time. Asking questions is an art, and it’s an essential part of the interview. Partners are still evaluating you at this stage of the process, so it’s essential that you knock it out of the (lockwood and) park.
know how, when, and when not to negotiate
We make sure you’re getting the best terms available to you. We leave no stone unturned and you can rest assured that you’re going to be in the best hands possible when you work with us. Associates are often not aware of what they can command in a market for signing bonuses that is constantly shifting, and that’s our job. We keep a pulse on the market and handle all the negotiations so you never have to put yourself in a position where you’re negotiating against your potential future employer. The biggest mistake we see associates make is trying to negotiate during the interview. You focus on interviewing and deciding whether the group is the right fit for you. We’ll focus on making sure you get the offer and the best terms possible.
leverage other offers
We know how to make a market for our associates. Sometimes getting an offer from another firm is the best thing you can do for your leverage, especially if one recruiter can manage the timing for you. The timing part of this point is essential, because every firm has different internal mechanisms for how they approve material changes to offers such as signing bonuses. Nailing the timing is a key part of the process. Let us take that off your plate. We’ll make sure you’re coming out on top.
