EMPLOYER COVERAGEWashington, DC, DC

How the guides are organized

Each group below covers one legal role or provider type that Washington, DC employers search for. Inside a group, every guide answers one employer question: how to find or evaluate a provider, what fees and process to expect, how a retained or contingency engagement differs, and how a search compares with internal hiring.

Use the guides with a hiring brief

The guides prepare an employer to scope a permanent legal hire. They do not replace the hiring brief, the interview scorecard or the written engagement, and none of them decides admission status or eligibility to practice.

A permanent hire needs a decision-ready brief

BEGHR helps employers scope direct-hire searches. The employer makes the employment decision and directly employs the hire. Scope, fee, candidate ownership, timing and any replacement terms are set in the agreed engagement before a search begins.
