Not actively looking, but wondering where you stand in the lateral market?

You don't have to commit to anything. Just get the information and decide from there.

I'm Ezra, founder of Scale Up Counsel. Before recruiting, I practiced at a Cravath-scale firm, so I understand firsthand how stressful and opaque the lateral process can feel. That experience shapes how I work with every lawyer I talk to.

Right now, we're partnered with 20+ top-tier employers: BigLaw firms, AI-native law firms, and elite legal tech companies, all actively hiring strong lawyers across the country. Q1 2026 has been one of our busiest quarters yet, and hiring momentum remains strong heading into the rest of the year.

Here's how it works:

1. Send me a DM to get a look at what's available.
2. If there's a potential fit, we'll set up a quick call to map out your options.
3. Your resume goes nowhere without your explicit approval, ever.

You stay in control at every step.

Who we work with:

Lawyers from AmLaw 200 firms, elite boutiques, or top in-house teams, with strong academics and a genuine interest in exploring what's next.
