Garrison is a Washington, DC-based legal search firm. As a high-end legal recruiting firm, our clients are the most elite and discerning in the legal industry. About Us Garrison's History Garrison (Garrison & Sisson) was founded in 1986 by Charlie Garrison, and soon thereafter, Martha Ann Sisson became a partner at the firm. Garrison was built on fundamental principles of integrity, thoroughness and excellence of service. Through the years, we have been committed to these principles when working with our clients. In 1999, Nancy Palermo joined Garrison and was promoted to partner in January of 2006 when Charlie Garrison transitioned to an Of Counsel role. Dan Binstock and Matt Schwartz joined as partners in September of 2010, after running the DC offices of two national search firms. In 2021, Martha Ann Sisson retired from the firm. Since then, partners Nancy Palermo, Dan Binstock and Matt Schwartz have led Garrison, along with a talented team of recruiters and professional staff. High touch. High truth. High trust. Our clients say we are different, in a good way. As said by the Head of Partner Recruiting for a Global AmLaw 25 firm, “What do you get when you mix the highest levels of professionalism with good people you just want to be friends with … Garrison.” Indeed, many of our clients have become our friends over the years. Our relationships – grounded in trust and respect – enable us to operate on a higher level that’s unique in this industry.

When we work with diverse candidates, we recognize the additional factors that should be discussed and addressed to ensure that the fit will be ideal.

Erin Sears places attorneys at all levels with some of the country’s best-known firms – from full-service, AmLaw-ranked firms to highly specialized boutiques in major markets around the country. Erin Sears Partner 1627 I Street, NW Suite 1230 Washington, DC 20006 esears@g-s.com 202.370.7684 WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME My professional core values include honesty, integrity, and just the right balance of focused commitment and patience. My candidate clients know that I appreciate how much a career change is a defining moment in one’s life both professionally and personally. Giving candidates the confidence to know they are making the “right” decision is a combination of many factors, but in my recruiting approach this often begins and ends with market intel and a careful weighing of the pros and cons of a lateral move. My candidate clients describe me as a “consummate professional with an incredibly ‘high touch’ approach.” My law firm clients trust me to know the marketplace intimately, do the research that identifies the best candidates, and always keep them informed. Having myself practiced for nearly fifteen years at an AmLaw 30 firm, my law firm clients have shared that I am “relatable,” “bring instant credibility,” and “know what [I’m] talking about.” OVERVIEW A Partner with Garrison, Erin has over 15 years of experience in the DC legal market as both a recruiter and attorney at top firms. Erin focuses on law firm placements, working directly with attorneys seeking a lateral move and law firm clients needing to execute on confidential searches. Her experience spans regulatory, transactional and litigation practices, with deep knowledge of practices with some regulatory component, and in particular the financial services and banking sectors (see Representative Placements). Erin works closely with the top-tier firms and Chambers-ranked practices, as well as medium-sized firms and highly specialized boutiques. Candidate clients looking for a career change rely on Erin for guidance throughout the entire lateral process. Her thorough and detailed knowledge of the DC market means she is clear about their best options as she helps them identify firms to consider and pursue; polish and submit materials (e.g., LPQ, business plan, resume, deal sheet); prepare for initial and multi-stage interviews; negotiate offer terms; and navigate conflicts. Erin’s understanding of each candidate’s goals, strengths and personality lead to placements that are a great fit for both the candidate and the employer. Law firm clients have Erin on speed-dial because time after time she succeeds in bringing them not just the top talent – who sometimes don’t even plan to be in the market – but candidates with the highly specific and sometimes hard-to-find skills and experience these firms need. She invests significant time in really getting to know her law firm clients and their individual practice groups – consulting with law firm management, practice leads, partners and their recruiting team – to bring in-depth information about a particular search to the market on a narrow and targeted basis. Erin’s clients trust her and know she “gets it.” CREDENTIALS J.D., Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, 2004 Member, Washington University Law Quarterly B.S., magna cum laude, University of Maryland at College Park, 2001 Double Degrees: International Business and Logistics & Transportation Double Minors: Portuguese and Spanish Prior to joining Garrison, Erin practiced for twelve years at Paul Hastings in DC, as well as at Three Crowns, an elite international arbitration boutique.

Our recruiting team and practice leaders ask for her by name. She invests energy and enthusiasm into learning about her clients’ practices and priorities which leads to great results for her candidates and our firm. Erin consistently presents female and diverse candidates, which is phenomenal and reflective of our firm’s shared values.” Lateral Recruiting Coordinator, AmLaw 30 Firm “I trust Erin with exclusive and unpublished searches because she knows the lateral market, our firm, and the candidates who meet our requirements and fit within our firm culture. There’s a presumption that any candidate that Erin sends our way is worth careful consideration." Lateral Recruiting Coordinator, AmLaw 10 Firm Candidates “Erin identified a select handful of firms and provided meaningful insight into each that proved invaluable as I was making my decision. She tailored her approach to fit my (very) specific goals, and I appreciated her deep knowledge of the market." Financial Services, AmLaw 30 Firm “I was unsure about leaving my firm, but also felt that something needed to change. With thanks to Erin, she set up informal meetings with several attorneys at what is now my current firm, and that enabled both sides to learn more about each other and whether it would be a good fit. I really didn’t expect to leave, but so glad she facilitated the opportunity for me to see my options. That approach worked with my comfort level, and I am now extremely grateful to be where I am.” Technology Transactions, AmLaw 10 Firm "Erin is a thoughtful and patient listener and a fierce advocate - throughout the process, her informed market acumen, precision, care and clear communication style were ever-present. She is a consummate professional with an incredibly ‘high-touch’ approach - I was confident at all times throughout the process that I was in the most capable of hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make a move (and even, perhaps, if you aren't yet sure)." Leveraged Finance/Commercial Lending, Chambers-Ranked Practice “I receive so many emails from recruiters, but responded to Erin because it stood apart from the rest – she had taken the time to read my biography and understand my practice. She was sharing details about a specific law firm opportunity, and it was clear she knew so much about that firm and their real estate practice. By far the best experience I’ve had with a recruiter. I would recommend her to anyone making a move.” Real Estate, AmLaw 20 Firm “Several years passed from my initial conversation with Erin to the time I reached back out to her to explore lateral opportunities. Her initial approach was so refreshing in comparison to other recruiters that I held onto her details. She is professional, thorough, relatable – and very patient. We let several opportunities pass to find the right one and it was worth the wait. Plus, I appreciate other working parents – it’s a valuable perspective.” Antitrust, AmLaw 10 Firm "I appreciated Erin's patience and expert insights throughout the lateral process, particularly in suggesting and negotiating offer terms, and in navigating potential conflicts. She was also adept at leveraging my technical background. The results Erin delivered were beyond what I'd thought possible, and she made it seem easy. When someone asks for a referral, I always point to Erin and let them know she's the only recruiter I'd ever want to work with.” Patent Litigation, Elite Boutique “I was referred to Erin by a friend who she had also helped with a lateral move. I was returning to the U.S. from London and interested in top-tier practices in New York, Boston and DC. I cannot say enough about how seamless she made the entire process – everything was streamlined, including identifying firms and review of my deal sheet, which saved me an incredible amount of time.” Capital Markets, AmLaw 10 Firm OUTSIDE THE OFFICE I live in Cleveland Park near the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. Like most parents, the simplest pleasures come from spending time with my family. So, for my two boys, this means cheering loudly on the sidelines for their travel soccer and baseball teams (and alongside them for a Nats game or Real Madrid match). For our beloved german shepherd, Rocky, this means a lot of scratches and fetch. Born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland, I still enjoy being on the water – boating, paddleboarding and hosting the traditional crab feast. I also support and volunteer with the Virginia German Shepherd Rescue. What It's Like To Work With Me Overview Credentials Representative Placements Testimonials Outside the Office

What's beyond your biography We see you as a person beyond the breakdown of your practice and portable business. At the outset, we gain a substantive understanding of your practice that goes far beyond what’s in your biography. We also discuss your priorities and goals in depth and advise whether they are more likely to be achieved through a lateral move or by remaining with your current firm. < Back to For Candidates For Candidates Partners and Groups Home Erin Sears Bio Dan Binstock Bio Key Contacts: Amy K. Savage Bio 2. Thorough analysis of the market Based on our 30+ years of experience and market intelligence, we provide insight about law firms that is not generally accessible elsewhere. We study law firm economics, such as profit margins, multi-year trends and other factors that can be important when analyzing options. We also have a comprehensive suite of the most powerful tools in the industry, including our proprietary database where we have captured and analyzed years of market data. Our command of the market – from well-known firms to “hidden gems” – allows us to save you time by only presenting options that specifically align with your goals and priorities. Partners and Groups 5. Negotiating for your advantage At the outset, we help you place into context how your offer compares to other similarly situated partner candidates, whether negotiation is warranted and how to implement the most effective negotiation strategy to maximize your compensation. Many partners are excellent when negotiating for clients but fall short when negotiating on their own behalf. As your recruiter, our role in the process enables us to advocate for you more effectively. For example, it’s routine for recruiters to inform firms about competing offers, potential counter-offers, and other dynamics that are important but challenging for candidates themselves to convey appropriately. You benefit by having a skilled liaison during this delicate period, which often increases the strength of the offer itself and eliminates tensions with your potential future colleagues. 3. Preparing and presenting your materials We know what firms look for, what your materials should emphasize and how best to present your candidacy. Additionally, we are experts at carefully conveying detailed practice information and your reasons for contemplating a move, which ensures you are putting your best foot forward and avoiding pitfalls. When it’s time to go to market, we take confidentiality seriously and always discuss whether an anonymous approach to firms – at the outset – is advisable. And when we share your name and relevant materials, we ensure you are considered in the most appropriate manner by the most relevant partners. Oftentimes the point of entry can make an important difference in the outcome. 6. Providing notice This is perhaps the hardest part of the process. We strategize with you. We prepare you for what you can anticipate and how to best respond. If you receive a counter-offer, we provide advice and help you with any post-notice negotiations that may be appropriate. Lastly, we advise on whether to consider engaging ethics counsel given your bar obligations, fiduciary responsibilities and contractual provisions in your partnership agreement. And if needed, we have a strong network of experienced ethics attorneys to whom we can refer you. 4. Expert guidance on interviewing and due diligence Many partners haven’t interviewed in a long time. Even the most sophisticated partners approach interviews wearing their lawyer-practitioner hat instead of their lateral partner hat. In addition to detailed information on the firm and relevant partners, we provide guidance on the questions you can anticipate and how to best address them. We also save you time, minimize stress, and maximize confidentiality by coordinating and scheduling all of your interviews. Regarding due diligence, we assist you on all stages of completing the Lateral Partner Questionnaire (LPQ). Certain terms can be misinterpreted, and questions are often inadvertently narrow, leading candidates to omit vital practice information. We are experts on helping you answer these questions accurately and, when needed, with appropriate and necessary context. Most importantly, our guidance can help avoid misunderstandings and any uncomfortable discussions resulting therefrom. Our law firm clients frequently praise our candidates for the quality and comprehensiveness of their LPQs. And when you are seriously considering a firm and it’s time to dig deeper, we help you perform your own due diligence, providing extensive information on firms using tools not publicly available, as well as intelligence routinely received from our extensive and discreet personal network. 7. Guidance during the transition We are there for you throughout this process, including helping you recruit prior team members, if needed, and when appropriate and allowed. We will serve as a sounding board and source of advice regarding clients to help maximize the likelihood that they follow. No matter what arises, our partners feel better knowing they have a skilled advisor and confidante in their corner. Representative Placements 1. What's beyond your biography 2.

Our approach to recruiting associates has been finely honed over the past 35 years, and we know the important questions to ask at the outset. With this foundation, our process ensures that you will have the highest likelihood of attracting and recruiting the most on-point candidates.

We take a thoughtful approach and ensure that candidates are realistic with their expectations and understand market norms. By entrusting these discussions to us, you reduce the risk of unanticipated tensions impacting the deal. 3. Presenting candidates We only introduce candidates who fully meet your criteria. We meet with each candidate we present–either in-person or virtually–to learn more about them on multiple levels. Based on these meetings, we prepare a detailed cover letter answering questions far beyond what’s in their resume, including their practice breakdown, motivations to move, performance reviews, explanations for previous job changes, and other key information. 6. Counter-offer guidance For top candidates, counter-offers are common. When a candidate gives notice, we have prepared them on what to expect. If they receive a counter-offer, we carefully guide them through a multi-factor decision-making matrix, and we advise them on how to handle the most common strategies firms use to convince departing associates to stay. This ensures they are not caught off-guard and are less susceptible to making a rash decision or changing their mind as a result of undue pressure from their current employer. 7. Everything else Consider us your guidepost for all things recruiting or market-related. Clients frequently call us for advice on questions that arise outside of our searches – including tricky situations with unrelated candidates or other search firms – and we welcome the opportunity to share advice or a second opinion. 4. Interview advising During interviews, we provide feedback on behalf of candidates, flag items that could be points of potential misunderstanding, and offer advice on recruiting the candidates of your choice.
