About Us

JEM Legal Search is a specialized legal recruiting practice focused on Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Intellectual Property. The firm partners with law firms nationwide on strategic hiring across these highly technical and fast-evolving practice areas.
​
Founded by Jake Murray, JEM Legal Search was built to provide a more focused, informed, and discreet alternative to generalist legal recruiting. The practice works closely with law firm leadership, practice chairs, and attorneys to support lateral hiring at the associate, counsel, and partner levels.
​
With deep market knowledge and an active national network, JEM Legal Search advises on hiring trends, compensation benchmarks, and candidate availability across cyber incident response, privacy advisory, regulatory enforcement, IP litigation, and related technology-driven practices.
​
The firm’s approach is deliberately consultative. Searches are handled with discretion, precision, and an understanding of the business and strategic considerations that drive law firm hiring decisions.
​
JEM Legal Search serves as a long-term partner to law firms seeking to thoughtfully grow and strengthen their practices in complex, regulated, and technology-focused areas of law.
