Lorraine Connally

I am a Senior Legal Recruiter and former Law Firm Recruiting Director with over 20 years of experience leading talent acquisition and diversity initiatives for top Am Law 100, Am Law 200, and premier boutique firms. Having spent over two decades embedded on the law firm side before transitioning to agency search, I bring a rare, 360-degree perspective to the lateral hiring process. I don’t just fill seats—I know the attorney job market from the inside out. I deeply understand how Executive Committees, firm chairs, and practice leaders think about strategic growth, compensation, and platform alignment, allowing me to guide partners and associates toward career moves that last. Today, I leverage that insider expertise at Swan Legal Search, a premier team comprised of former practicing attorneys and legal professionals. Since 1997, SLS has been a highly respected pillar of the legal community and is consistently recognized as a top-tier legal recruitment search firm in California by The Recorder. Our success is a direct reflection of the commitment, accountability, and integrity we bring to each search.
