Technology Executive Search
Today’s technology leaders not only manage their law firm’s technology teams and initiate the implementation of technology; they focus on helping law firms deliver strategic value and competitive advantage to their clients. With 35+ years of experience in technology staffing for law firms, we’re equipped to find you the highest quality CIO, CTO, and Director-level candidates. Our full-service financially-committed search offers you a dedicated investment of our time to find you your next executive-level legal technology leader with the right background of skills, leadership experience, and education—and a personality that suits the culture of your firm.
Why Choose Us?
ESP’s Founder, Chris Hildreth, is personally involved in all executive searches, bringing over 35 years of experience in law firm technology and staffing to each search. Our wide network of technology leaders with deep experience in the legal niche and a clear understanding of law firms’ unique technology leadership needs will ensure a timely and successful hire.
Unlike a traditional retained search, you’ll only pay us based on our accomplishment of mutually agreed upon milestones. After paying one third of 25% of the compensation package for the position to initiate the search, the rest of the payment schedule is up to you!
Our collaborative, individualized, and strategic approach results in our clients hiring the legal technology leaders their law firm needs. ESP Legal will create an extensive plan for identifying, evaluating, attracting, and securing the very best technology executive available. We’ll work with you to create a compelling presentation to take to market and you’ll receive weekly summaries on the progress of your executive search.
Our process saves you the time it takes to identify top talent, and instead you choose from among the legal technology industry’s best CIO, CKO, or Director-level candidates. We’ll do the prospecting, conduct a thorough first round of interviews, and perform reference checks for you. You’ll then be presented with highly qualified technology leaders to meet and interview. We’ll remain in an advisory role until the completion of your search.
Legal Technology Contract Consulting
ESP Legal’s contract and contract-to-hire services present a flexible opportunity to fill your legal technology talent needs. Our IT consultants are experts in the legal niche.
Do you need temporary help to assist with a technology project? Do you need to cover for someone out on leave? Or do you need to provide support while waiting to get approval for a full-time hire? ESP Legal’s contract and consulting service is an ideal solution.
Flexibility
Adapt easily to changing workload needs with ESP Legal consultants. Our IT consultants give you the flexibility to add one or more members to your team with a unique skill set and background for a long- or short-term contract.
Maintain Service Levels
Contractors will help you maintain your service level to your law firm’s clients as demand temporarily increases. Bring them onboard quickly to ensure you don’t create burnout for your current staff.
Contract to Direct Hire
When you need someone on staff quickly but the length of your need and budget approval are undecided, contract a consultant open to a full time role. You get to see their work firsthand and then, once you’re able and ready, hire them to your team.
