Preferred Placement

Our Company

At Preferred Placement, our mission is to serve the recruiting needs of our clients and support the professional aspirations of our candidates with honesty, integrity, professionalism, and excellence. With over thirty years of experience, our team remains true to the goals first set out by our founder, Anne Angowitz: delivering uncompromising, passionate service to clients and candidates, with honesty and integrity.

Our History

Our founder, Anne Angowitz, founded Preferred Placement with the desire to "save a lawyer from their fate." To Anne, this meant placing the most talented attorneys to premier companies and unique law firm opportunities. While initially focused on legal positions, the increasing regulatory environment over the last decade led Preferred Placement to the forefront of compliance recruiting. We have since expanded our repertoire to include various executive searches and consulting projects.

Our Company Overview

Our team consists of "recovering attorneys" and experienced recruiters. Our deep insight and breadth of experience is a valuable asset to our clients and candidates. Above all, Preferred Placement works as a team to find the next great hire for your company - or the next rung for your career. Our client base is global, consisting of leading public and private companies and large and boutique law firms. Our reach across industries is all inclusive; including financial and business services, consumer products, healthcare, industrial, and technology, to name just a few.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

It is essential for our clients and their legal teams to achieve diversity. We strive to help our clients realize their diversity and inclusion goals by casting a wide net in our search for the strongest candidate pool. We specifically look for candidates outside an organization's primary network. In a meeting of senior attorneys, the General Counsel of a Fortune 500 Company client identified Preferred Placement as their #1 recruiter for diversity efforts.
