Haven Recruiting Group

Haven Recruiting Group is a boutique recruiting firm founded in 2006 by Gabriela Cleveland, focused on placing partners, practice groups and office openings within law firms across the country. The firm works with both law firms searching for talent and practitioners considering a move, drawing on decades of experience in law and recruiting to understand market trends and the needs of the legal industry. It reports a close rate of 95 percent, more than 500 partners placed in law firms nationwide, and says half of its clients return for further recruiting work. Haven describes itself as investing time in each client relationship, aiming to match candidates and firms based on practice fit rather than volume. Clients quoted on the site include lawyers from firms such as DLA Piper and McDermott Will & Emery.
