If you were in any doubt as to the level of intensity around the war on legal talent, US comms agency Baretz+Brunelle has launched a dedicated talent intelligence & analytics practice, which launched today (23 May) with the hire of long standing legal business strategist and founder Howard Rosenberg.
Rosenberg previously served as a chief operating officer for Baker McKenzie, head of business development strategy for Debevoise & Plimpton’s private equity practice and managing director at Berwin Leighton Paisner in London (now Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner). More recently, he has consulted for law firms on management and operational issues. He also co-founded Decipher, a global investigative intelligence business that performs due diligence on lateral candidates.
“Law firms’ main assets are the individuals who walk in and out each day,” said Rosenberg. “I see a huge unserved need to assist law firms in identifying, onboarding, integrating, and growing the businesses of the right individuals. Baretz+Brunelle is the perfect place to create this unique practice, not just because it has the ideal skill set, but it has the commitment to supporting it fully, including the development of predictive analytics and other advanced tools.”
