A $6B international manufacturer contacted OpusLex Partners based on a referral from a prior in-house placement as they were looking to hire their first-ever general counsel for their North American operations. The OpusLex team met with the client in mid-July, presented five viable candidates within three weeks, advised the client on market conditions and presented salary and bonus recommendations, and the new general counsel began work in early October. Now OpusLex Partners has been asked to continue to assist this organization with building out their North American legal team.

A top 20 AmLaw firm approached OpusLex Partners with an extremely heavy workload for a multi-district products liability matter. With the awareness that the firm's associates would be too expensive and too few in numbers to manage the volume, the firm requested a team of eight experienced litigators to come on as contract attorneys. Many of those attorneys converted to permanent employees, with some being employed by OpusLex Partners and assigned to this client for as long as five years. The law firm was able to control costs for their client, and free up valuable associate time internally. The contract attorneys enjoyed challenging, stable work, and full benefits from OpusLex Partners.

An AmLaw 10 law firm contacted OpusLex Partners for assistance building out their business services functions, including legal project management, knowledge management, innovation and client operations. Over the course of two years, OpusLex Partners placed 15 candidates in business services roles with this client and the firm is now known as a leader in innovation and non-traditional attorney tracks.
