Legal Recruiting Expertise

Leanne is one of the most insightful ‘coach consultants’ I have had the opportunity to work with. She beautifully blends a focus on future visions of what “could be” with the pragmatic realities of “what we’ve got” – resulting in a delightful mix of hope and practice. Truly inspiring to be with and work with.

Leanne is a passionate and focused coach. Her insights and suggestions are practical, forthright, and responsive to the skillset and needs of her audience.

When I am alone, there are agendas and scripts that I say to myself. With my most loved family and friends, there is a social contract that moves us in one direction or another. With Leanne, there is a moment of just being, where you can tune into the knowledge you have but which gets lost in the noise.

Leanne is the very essence of pragmatic, compassionate curiosity.

Leanne is a terrific veteran coach. Her coaching skills and experience sit on top of a powerful intellect and wealth of professional and life wisdom that combines to make her a rich thought partner and teammate in navigating tricky and tangled client challenges. I’m so grateful that I had the privilege to work with a coach of her caliber!

“Teresa is a star.  She has a trusting and outgoing approach.  Her candidates all trust her knowledge and insights into the industry.  In particular, they rely on her experience in the legal field.  She knows what it is like to work and work hard in big law.  Teresa was an excellent lawyer, working at many significant law firms including Paul Hastings.  I worked with her at Paul Hastings.  She was very highly thought of.  She energetically and creatively solves issues.  The clients loved her.  Teresa is a natural recruiter.  She is passionate about her work.  She is dedicated to helping us in our recruiting needs.  I highly and without reservation recommend her.”

“Pernini Legal, LLC exceeded every expectation I had. From the very first conversation, they demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal job market and a genuine commitment to helping me succeed. Not only did they match me with a great job opportunity, but they also secured me an interview with my dream company—a goal I wasn’t sure I could reach on my own in the current job market.

Their communication was prompt, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. I never felt like ‘just another client’—they truly cared about finding the right fit for me. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I’m now on a career path I’m incredibly excited about.

If you’re looking for a legal placement firm that delivers real results and treats you like a priority, Pernini Legal is the one to trust.”

“I’ve worked with Teresa for 10 years and highly recommend her services! Her intelligence coupled with her firm knowledge make her the best in the industry.”

“Teresa has been exceptional from the outset. She is brilliant, kind, trustworthy, dedicated, and well-connected in the legal industry.

Unlike other recruiters solely focused on placements, Teresa’s interest lies in securing roles where candidates will flourish. Through multiple phone calls, emails, and texts, Teresa was always available. She listened to my aspirations and concerns to help me find a role that would be the best fit for me. If I had a question or concern, she was there with an answer or knew someone who had the answer.

In addition to Teresa’s dedication to her clients, she is also well-connected in the legal industry. She often knew individuals within the firms I targeted and leveraged her connections to ensure my resume received attention. With Teresa, you’re not just in capable hands; you’re in the best hands possible.”

“We asked Teresa for help on an expedited basis to find us a highly qualified and experienced candidate with a unique skill set. Teresa presented us with multiple well-qualified candidates within a very short time period. Her experience as a partner in major law firms provides her with exceptional insight. She is devoted to doing what is in the best interest of her clients and the concept of matching the right candidate to the right position. We are deeply grateful to Teresa and could not have been more happy with her work.”
