Focused on People. Built on Relationships.
November Legal Search is a national search firm focused on law firm talent, in-house legal leadership, strategic growth, and select executive search.
We work with law firms, corporate legal departments, attorneys, and senior executives on hiring and career decisions where judgment, discretion, and market knowledge matter.
Our approach is deliberately straightforward: understand the need, define the market, identify the right people, and engage them thoughtfully. We favor targeted outreach and direct communication over volume-driven recruiting.
Our Focus
Our work is national in scope and typically involves experienced professionals who are not actively seeking a change but may be willing to consider the right opportunity.
November Legal Search concentrates on four areas:
A Relationship-Driven Approach
Legal recruiting is ultimately a relationship business.
We believe the quality of a search depends on understanding both sides of the opportunity: what the client is actually trying to accomplish and what would make a move worthwhile for the candidate.
That requires candid conversations, realistic market feedback, careful presentation of opportunities, and respect for confidentiality throughout the process.
National Reach
November Legal Search operates through a recruiting affiliation with RIM Recruitment Professionals, providing access to a nationwide recruiting network, technology, operational infrastructure, compliance support, and broader market reach.
The affiliation supports the direct, responsive approach of an independent search practice while providing the resources of a national recruiting organization.
Jim LaRosa
Jim LaRosa founded November Legal Search after more than 25 years working in legal recruiting and legal talent solutions.
An attorney by training, Jim began his career practicing litigation before moving into legal recruiting, where he has spent his career working with law firms, corporate legal departments, attorneys, and legal professionals on hiring and career matters.
His experience spans associate and partner recruitment, in-house legal search, strategic law firm hiring, and broader legal talent initiatives.
Jim’s approach is grounded in direct communication, practical market knowledge, and an understanding that the most successful searches are rarely about credentials alone. Professional goals, economics, platform, leadership, culture, timing, and long-term fit all matter.
November Legal Search reflects that philosophy: focused, relationship-driven, and discreet.
