Legal Technology Staffing Since 1996
Our Story
In 1996, ESP Legal recognized that law firms had an urgent need for highly qualified, skilled technology professionals to support the firm’s growth in the computer boom of the 90s. In the years since we’ve become the top legal technology recruiting firm by specializing in connecting law firms nationwide with the best legal technology talent. As the industry evolved, so did we—adding litigation support and eDiscovery staffing solutions to continue to meet all of our clients’ needs.
What’s never changed is the emphasis we place on integrity and our commitment to our clients, candidates, and employees.

My recruiter was very attentive and communicated well. I liked that she was accessible at any time—even after business hours.
I liked working with ESP Legal because they didn’t push me into a position. Chris was patient and allowed me to make my own decisions to find the right fit.
Chris, the part you played in my landing my new job was significant. I could not have done it without you! You are the best!
My recruiter is one of the very best in the legal technology field. I recommend ESP Legal to anyone seeking an opportunity.

It was a pleasure working with ESP Legal,
because they listened to what we were looking for, and almost as importantly, what we wanted to avoid. I have every confidence that our new Technology Manager will prove to be a very good hire.
Professional, courteous, follow-through, honesty, and integrity: these qualities make ESP Legal stand out from their competitors. It’s not a competition—they aren’t in the same league.
My recruiter was very open and made the whole process a peaceful, mutually beneficial experience. Keep doing what you’re doing because I have no complaints.

I can always count on ESP Legal to present only candidates relevant to my needs. ESP Legal has successfully placed a number of Technology Support Analysts for us over the years.
Not only did the job description check all the right boxes for me, but my recruiter sold me on my ability to successfully transition from my current role and responsibilities into a completely different realm. I can’t stress enough how grateful I am.
ESP puts quite a bit of work into candidate screening and the quality is excellent as a result. I’m extremely satisfied with ESP Legal’s work, flexibility, and candidates.
I sincerely thank ESP Legal for your help and dedication in getting me my new job. This environment is more than I ever dreamed of and I am so excited and elated to be here.
