7 Questions with the founder Joshua Hill

1. How is the legal market overall? "I'm seeing a lot of demand for commercial litigators with portable business and now, transactional is picking up."

2. How is AI impacting legal hiring? "I think law firms are still looking at AI, trying to make sure they're on the right path. Case law citation has to be accurate and the traditional research tools are tried and true. AI is great when it's accurate but most firms to a degree 'trust, but verify'."

3. How is legal recruiting impacted by AI? "It helps our research for sure."

4. Do you like any particular AI for research? "At this point, we use a few different vendors but there will be a ton of consolidation in AI."

5. What intangible qualities do you look for in laterals? "I look for optimism. Can do people do great things generally."

6. What is a big turn off when you're deciding whether to work with a lateral? "Someone that looks for the hole in the donut. I also don't like candidates that are negative unless they are working to fix it, whatever the situation."

7. Any interviewing tips for laterals? "Be yourself, know your numbers, and think about whether the firm you're talking to can help you better serve your clients and help you compete as a lawyer."
