Wilcox and Hackett, LLC

                                                                              
  Introduction   References  
  Wilcox and Hackett is a legal search and consulting firm
with offices in Tallahassee and Atlanta.  Our focus is
placing highly qualified individuals with the right firm every
time.  We do this by trying to match a candidate’s
academic, firm experience, and work ethic with the type of
firm that fits their needs not only as an attorney but as a
person.  Matching the right person with the right culture
creates a success for everyone.

Additionally, we work with firms assisting them through the
merger process of either a practice group or complete firm
merger.  Helping to facilitate the change in a confidential,
professional, and seamless manner.

We can provide client development training to members of
your firm and assist with your firms overall marketing plan.

Andrew Wilcox and Matthew Hackett are two boyhood best
friends that have a vast amount of legal experience
beginning as sales reps for an international legal research
company.  Wilcox and Hackett was formed to give
attorneys a confidential yet aggressive hand in finding the
best environment to display their talent. Our growth has
been based on doing good work for our clients and being
fortunate enough to maintain these relations over a long
period of time.

Our business principles are built on three cornerstones:

TALENT- It all starts with talent!  The Candidates talents as
an attorney, the firms talent for development and nurturing
a quality working environment, and our talent to be able to
work with both parties in a discreet professional way to
ensure a positive experience.

HEART or HUSTLE-Doing the things that others don’t want
to do on a continuous basis.  Championships are won by
the team that shows just a bit more heart and hustle.  Being
a good attorney, firm, or business comes down a
commitment to outwork the competition.

COMPASSION- Life is too short to do something that you
hate.  Waking up every morning we look forward to the
conversations and assistance that we provide to others.
Placing an individual in a position that will enhance their life
and benefit their family creates the opportunity for a long
term fit with a firm.  Clients tell me constantly that firms
that put their people first have stronger relationships with
their clients, attorneys, and are able to retain the best
talent.
 
  "You nailed it!  I am with a firm that I just click
with and they give me a chance to really grow
my client base. "- Partner- Tallahassee office of
a regional firm.

"We get so many resumes and it seems like so
many search firms send us who ever they have
without them being a match.  You listened to
what we were looking for and provided us with
two outstanding candidates.  We were going to
hire one but didn't want to miss out on the other
so we selected both.
Hiring Partner- SW Florida firm

"Some search firms say they place Partners but
you all really do it.  You're firm provides the most
quality fit for the type of Partner we are trying to
bring in."
Managing Partner- Regional firm

"We were expanding at a pretty good clip and
you worked with us to blend everyone together
and help us articulate a mission moving
forward."
Managing Partner- Statewide firm.

"One of the biggest issues that we had is that
we have great attorneys that have been with us
awhile that we wanted to develop toward
partnership.  The problem is that they never had
a business conversation with a prospective
client and learned how to develop a book of
business.  Working with our associates you
helped develop that skill.  Our firm has
improved retention and has grown our client
base substantially.  Thank you for your help."
