Notice to Search Firms

We value your input and assistance during our hiring process. Locke Lord does not accept unsolicited applications from search firms or placement agencies.  We will only accept candidate submissions from search firms with whom we have a current placement agreement on file. If your firm/agency does not have an agreement with us (or if you are unsure whether a current agreement exists), please contact us at legalrecruiting@lockelord.com to ascertain agreement status.

Associate, Patent Agent and Staff Counsel Candidates:
Search firms may only submit candidates for open positions that are posted in our Search Firm portal. If you have a strong candidate whose experience and interests do not match an available position, please send a blind bio with a brief summary of the candidate’s background to legalrecruiting@lockelord.com. The Recruiting Department will review blind bios and let you know if they are interested. Applications submitted to lawyers in our Firm will not be deemed valid submissions.
