Current Talento Legal and Petersan recruiting team in the New York office

In 1994, Sandrea Friedman, Peter Goldfeder, and Peter Gosule founded The PeterSan Group, one of the nation’s premier legal search and consulting firms. Today, Talento Legal builds on The PeterSan Group’s legacy, combining its established legal-market expertise and relationships with the reach, technology, and broader resources of TalentoHC’s global talent platform.

We work closely with clients to understand the specific requirements, culture, and objectives of each search, then conduct every engagement with discretion and rigor. For attorneys, that means individualized guidance and thoughtfully considered career opportunities. For employers, it means a curated group of candidates with the experience, credentials, and alignment the role requires.

FOR LAW FIRMS

Associate recruiting guided by credentials, potential, and fit.

Effective associate recruiting begins with a detailed understanding of the practice group, experience level, technical requirements, team dynamics, and advancement path involved. Talento Legal uses that context to identify attorneys prepared to contribute immediately and grow within the firm.

Our recruiters evaluate academic and professional credentials alongside substantive experience, communication skills, career direction, and cultural alignment. This disciplined approach produces a focused group of lateral associates whose capabilities and goals match the opportunity.
