Can BCG help someone find a job in a geographic area not generally associated with his or her practice area?
Q: Can BCG help someone find a job in a geographic area not generally associated with his or her practice area, such as an entertainment attorney in Nebraska or an agricultural property lawyer in New York City?

A: It really depends on the practice area and the city. Some practices do not need to use recruiters; these groups will hire candidates through contacts or word-of-mouth. Likewise, some areas of the country, such as Nebraska, do not have a large enough legal market to require the services of a recruiter. Within large cities such as Los Angeles and New York, some entertainment practices work with recruiters. I do not think I’ve ever come across an opening for agricultural property, so I doubt these practices would use a recruiter. Other practices that do not generally work with recruiters are personal injury, immigration, insurance defense (not insurance coverage—that is very different), civil rights, criminal law, and family law.

Is the reasoning for the practice areas at the bottom not using a recruiter also that these are more geared towards word of mouth.
