Company Description
Michaelson Associates LLC is a New York–based legal search boutique founded in 1982 by Catherine S. Michaelson that specializes in placing partners, counsels, and associates at leading law firms and in-house legal departments while also executing acquisitions of whole practice groups. Recognized for a long-term, candidate-centric philosophy, the firm avoids flooding clients with resumes and instead delivers highly curated shortlists that align credentials, practice strengths, and cultural fit. Over decades, Michaelson Associates has cultivated deep relationships with senior partners, firm chairs, and corporate legal leaders, earning repeat mandates for strategic lateral partner moves, team build-outs, and discreet in-house searches. Its track record spans high-stakes placements including white collar and healthcare litigation partners, Chambers-ranked antitrust lawyers, capital markets and LATAM-focused project finance partners, privacy and data security leaders for technology clients, IP and patent litigators who went on to co-lead international offices, and senior real estate, aviation finance, bank regulatory, securities, and investment management attorneys. The firm’s coverage extends across core practice areas such as bankruptcy, corporate (M&A, private equity, capital markets, investment funds, structured finance, financial restructuring, project finance), litigation (criminal, commercial, financial, international disputes, insurance, products liability and mass torts), intellectual property (patent, trademark, copyright), labor and employment, real estate and construction, and tax and ERISA. Michaelson Associates’ client base includes AmLaw 100 and elite boutiques, as well as global firms with significant footprints in New York, Washington, D.C., Silicon Valley, London, and Hong Kong, and it has supported in-house searches for companies particularly in financial services and technology. Drawing on Catherine Michaelson’s longstanding engagement with the legal community—including advisory roles at Harvard Law School and leadership within Columbia University alumni organizations—the firm brings market insight, discretion, and rigor to every engagement, helping employers secure transformative talent and guiding attorneys toward opportunities that advance their strategic goals.
