JD Nexus

About us

JD Nexus provides an unparalleled and unique approach to recruiting. JD Nexus is the only staffing agency in the industry with former Am Law attorneys, who were also part of their firms’ recruitment team. Our recruiters graduated in the top 10% of their law school classes, worked with national law firms and were successful in the lateral recruitment process even before joining JD Nexus.

As a result, JD Nexus’ recruiters have not only the legal training and wherewithal to understand the type of lateral talent a firm requires, but also what would be attractive to an attorney considering a lateral move. We have over 25 years of legal and recruiting experience. You can trust JD Nexus to assist you with your next challenging hire or your last attorney home.

Feedback & Reviews

“What was most noticeable about JD Nexus was their tenacity in meeting our needs. They didn’t try to fit a square peg in a round hole, but found us the type of attorneys we had originally requested. There was also simply a level of intelligence throughout the recruiting process and sense of trust that I found distinctly refreshing, having worked with several other staffing agencies. The bottom line is, when we have an attorney need, there’s no question that we contact JD Nexus first. It’s always a pleasure working with them and I’m assured they’ll find us what we’re looking for quickly.“

Partner with Am Law Firm

“When my JD Nexus recruiter cold-called me, I was completely not in the market and not interested in moving to a new position. She made me consider things, however, about my former position versus this new position that I hadn’t thought of, such as the long-term prospects for building my own practice. In forcing me to think about where my career was going long-term, I indeed ended up joining my current firm, where three years later, I am now a partner and am developing my own clients. In fact, this year I’m anticipating needing an associate and I’ll be calling JD Nexus to find the right person.“

Placed Am Law 200 Candidate

“Where to begin about my experience with my JD Nexus recruiter. I simply can’t say enough about how well she handled my lateral move. First, she contacted me and began a rapport before I even wanted to change positions. Then, she kept in touch and when the right job came along, she knew immediately to contact me. The interview and offer stages of the process went off without a hitch as well because my recruiter had asked the difficult questions before we even got to the first meeting. Not only did she handle the placement process professionally, but my JD Nexus recruiter never tried to push something that wasn’t going to work. She always considered my personal and individual needs first. I recommend her to all my friends and colleagues.“
