We Know Chicago

Deep dish pizza and Italian beef, the Chicago Board of Trade, the Field Museum and Second City, the University of Chicago and Northwestern University, 6 Stanley Cups, Michael Jordan, Sox vs Cubbies and the Monsters of the Midway.  We know Chicago.  For the past 20 years, Atticus Recruiting’s principals, Michelle Kaplan McAndrew and Rob McAndrew have lived, worked and raised their family in Chicago.

For 18 of those years, Michelle has worked as one of Chicago’s leading legal recruiters.  She’s also worked as a weekly consultant to the University of Chicago Law School’s Office of Career Services where she counsels alumni on their legal careers and helps prepare 2nd and 3rd year law students for on-campus interviews and the Chicago legal job market in general.

Prior to stints in New York where she worked as a public defender for the Brooklyn Defender Services, and in California where she taught family advocacy as a clinical lecturer of law at Stanford University Law School, Michelle began her legal career in Chicago in 1990 as a Skadden Fellow and then joined the faculty of the University of Chicago Law School as a clinical lecturer in 1992.

Today, several of Michelle’s former students and clients are Managing Partners, Department Chairs, General Counsels and C-suite executives at some of the largest, most successful and highly innovated international law firms, boutiques, public and private companies and not-for-profits in and around Chicago.

Michelle’s connections in the legal community enabled her to bring us the best and most suitable candidates we interviewed. In fact, most of the associates we hired came though Michelle. I was impressed enough with Michelle that when I decided to change firms, I called her for advice. I trust her judgment.  
Julie P. Shelton, Hiring Partner, Butler Rubin Saltarelli & Boyd LLP

Rob McAndrew is a former capital markets professional whose career included 7 years as Senior Vice President and Managing Director for the Chicago Climate Exchange led by Chicago financial markets icon, Richard Sandor.  Michelle and Rob founded Atticus Recruiting in 2012 to serve the hiring needs of the Chicago legal community.

No one can beat Michelle's knowledge of the legal market, and no one has her relationships in the industry. What really sets Michelle apart, though, is her dedication to finding the right job for her clients. I still call her for career advice, and she's still always right.  
Ashley Burden, Litigation Associate, Dechert LLP (now Trial Attorney, CFTC)
