About Atticus

Atticus Recruiting LLC was founded by Michelle Kaplan McAndrew, an attorney and veteran legal recruiter with over 18 years of experience in the Chicago legal market. She is also a weekly consultant to the University of Chicago Law School’s Office of Career Services where she counsels alumni on their legal careers and prepares 2Ls and 3Ls for on-campus interviews (OCI).

A former clinical law lecturer at both the University of Chicago Law School and Stanford University Law School, many of Michelle’s former students are managing partners, department chairs, and hiring partners at prominent global law firms and prestigious local law boutiques,  as well as general counsels and c-suite executives at Fortune 100 public corporations and private companies in and around Chicago and the greater Midwest.

As a former client and now customer of Michelle, I have had the benefit of seeing her at work from both sides. In my view, there is no better legal recruiter in the Chicago area. She knows the market intimately, has impeccable judgment and is, above all, ethical.

Latest News
I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone who is looking to make a move to Chicago or to move firms within Chicago. Michelle is an incredible resource on both a personal and professional level, and she really took the time to listen to what I was looking for in my career and how that fit into my personal goals as well. Michelle definitely has her finger on the pulse of the legal community, not just on a firm level, but also the inter-workings of each firm - be it individuals personnel or practice groups. Michelle was able to find an opportunity for me at a top firm here in Chicago and really went the extra mile in helping me prepare for the interview so as to secure that position. I couldn't have been happier with the process or the results - I am truly grateful to Michelle for all her hard work and assistance.
