A track record of trust.
Harris Legal Search places elite legal talent with companies and law firms of various sizes. We make sure the attorneys we place will be truly fulfilled and valued. Maintaining the respect of standout attorneys in our competitive field requires a foundation of trust and integrity.
Our approach is to communicate, with full honesty and transparency, why a certain opportunity may—or may not—be the one that is right for you. Making a good fit is far more valuable to us than closing a deal.
Our typical attorney candidate is credentialed, hard-working, and strategic about his or her career objectives. We dedicate extensive time to individualized counseling, market research, interview preparation, and negotiation of job offers. We take your career seriously, and will always listen and be sensitive to your concerns in leaving one good opportunity for another.
Our employer relationships can open doors, particularly when we are managing an exclusive search. Our clients trust us to present excellent attorneys. With our market knowledge and objective advice, our candidates find opportunities that dovetail with their goals, rather than just another job.
We are regularly conducting searches for general counsel, in-house counsel, partners, practice groups, and experienced associates. To learn more about current or future opportunities, view our active searches page or contact us now.
Testimonials
In-House Counsel, Fortune 50 Company
Inti was an incredible partner for my legal search. Inti really understands the local market, including the culture of Seattle firms and companies, and she uses that knowledge to provide career guidance based on the candidate’s unique background and career objectives. Any legal recruiter can obtain a list of current openings, but Inti’s familiarity with the practices and personalities of the partners and in-house counsels gives her unique insight that she uses to provide practical, candid guidance to her candidates in order to help them find the best fit. As someone who came to Seattle from a top 10 law firm in New York, I couldn’t recommend Inti more as partner for your own legal search in Seattle.

Victoria Harris was an incredible resource and advocate for me during an unfamiliar in-house recruitment and interviewing process. Victoria was thorough and responsive and helped me to understand the company she was recruiting me to, along with their needs and the details of the position. To say Victoria knows the legal community is an understatement. She knows whole companies and the people within their law departments. She is familiar with law firm structure and the diverse areas of practice. She is intricately connected and conversant in the world of legal recruiting, and she brings all of her resources to bear for you, whether corporate client or individual lawyer. I cannot recommend Victoria highly enough.

Inti was with me every step of the way from resume crafting, to interview preparation, to finally receiving an offer, and even after I started at my new position. Inti was always responsive to my questions, gave great advice on how to handle the numerous issues that can come up during the search process. Her connections with the Seattle legal market and her unparalleled reputation and professionalism were extremely helpful as well. I have, and will continue to recommend Inti to any colleagues looking for new positions.

I have known and worked with Victoria for more than 15 years. When I first moved to Seattle, she successfully placed me at Amazon, where I stayed for nearly 8 years. I then became the General Counsel at Big Fish Games, and over time Victoria essentially helped me to build out the entire Legal Department. She successfully sourced our Associate General Counsel, as well as our IP Corporate Counsel. My paralegal and compliance hires were former colleagues from Amazon, so thanks to Victoria I knew them well from the years I spent there. Victoria is a consummate professional and has a unique sense of who to pair with what environment and company culture. Unlike most recruiters who simply want to sell you on their candidates, Victoria takes the time to truly understand who and what would make a good fit. Any company or firm would be lucky to partner with her in finding the best and right candidates to meet their needs.

I consider Inti Knapp to be the best legal recruiter in Seattle for many reasons. Inti Knapp provided me tremendous visibility into the Seattle legal employment market, and successfully placed me at a top tier Seattle firm while I was still in New York and knew no one in Seattle. She provided me great visibility into the Seattle legal compensation market, and she assisted me in negotiating a very favorable relocation and compensation package. I have remained in contact with Inti since my arrival in Seattle several years ago. She provides me insights into trends and opportunities in the Seattle legal employment market, and the legal profession more broadly. She has deep and up-to-date knowledge of the many legal employers in Seattle, and all of the ones I know respect her a great deal. She is among the most important movers and shakers in the Seattle legal scene today.
