It all began with an idea

In 2019, three seasoned legal recruiting professionals—each with years of experience at some of the industry’s most prestigious search firms—joined forces to create Hatton Boyce Matthews. Driven by a shared vision, they set out to establish a world-class legal search firm that harnessed the power of a vast, global network of recruiters. Their goal was to offer unparalleled recruitment services to law firms and corporations around the world.

In 2020, as the legal industry grappled with uncertainty and upheaval due to global challenges, HB Matthews played a pivotal role in revitalizing the market. By helping hundreds of attorneys find new opportunities and secure positions at top firms across the United States, the firm quickly earned a reputation as a trusted name in legal recruitment. This surge in placements not only boosted the careers of countless legal professionals but also positioned HB Matthews as a leader in the field.

Today, HB Matthews stands as one of the premier legal recruiting firms, recognized for its unmatched expertise in connecting elite legal talent with distinguished law firms and corporations worldwide. Our diverse team of recruiters brings a wealth of experience and insight, ensuring that every placement is tailored to the specific needs of our clients. We remain committed to delivering exceptional, personalized recruitment services that drive success for both the candidates we represent and the clients we serve.
