Our continuous access to DC’s legal elite gives us exclusive insights into employer and law firm decision-making—and a distinct ear to the ground.

Inside perspective:  We strive to know about new searches in the pipeline, details on firm finances, and anticipated additions or departures—before they go public.

Access: When it comes to establishing relationships that yield placements, we have an outstanding track record. Accordingly,  we can access exclusive searches and candidates not otherwise on the market.  Such access rewards our clients.

Selectivity: Employers know that a candidate from Garrison & Sisson has been thoroughly evaluated and is prepared for an interview.  We  frequently are told, “your endorsement carries weight.” 

Comprehensive coverage: Our recruiters are divided into three specialized teams: Associates, Partners/Practice Groups, and In-House. With eight recruiters and two research/recruiting assistants, our firm is large enough to cast a wide regional net—and intimate enough to maintain highly personal relationships.

We are straight-shooters.

We work hard.

We have high expectations.

We notice the small details.

We study the market.

We don't cut corners.

We are discreet.

We take our work, not ourselves, seriously.
