You could. Here's what going through us actually gets you.
Not a forwarded résumé — a positioned pitch to someone who already knows us, highlighting exactly why you fit. Cold applications get filtered by an ATS; ours get read.
Every submission logged in real time — where, to whom, and when. No black box, no wondering if anyone's actually looking at your materials.
Real relationships with decision-makers, growing every week — often reaching roles before they're posted anywhere public, including the firm's own site.
Free to you, always — placement fees are paid by the hiring firm, never the candidate.
Live listings, updated directly from our tracking ledger.
Submit your profile and we'll reach out when something fits — or represent you to firms you're specifically interested in.
Every time your profile goes to an employer, it's logged — with your name attached, blind, or not at all, your choice. See exactly where you've been submitted, by whom, and when. No surprises, no double-submissions, no wondering who has your resume.
CounselLedger is a legal recruiting platform for associate, counsel, and partner-level attorneys, specializing in real estate, real estate finance, and capital markets jobs — including leasing, structured credit, land use, and construction — built around two commitments most legal recruiters don't make: every job listing names the actual hiring firm (no blind postings), and every candidate submission is tracked so you can see exactly where your profile has gone, by whom, and when.
When you apply, your profile is presented to a hiring manager without your name, current firm, or contact information attached — only your practice area, seniority, and an anonymized summary of your background. Your identity is only revealed to an employer after you specifically approve that reveal, request by request.
No. Placement fees are paid by the hiring firm, never the candidate. Submitting a profile, applying to roles, and using the platform are free for attorneys.
Two structural differences: employer names are never withheld on job listings, and candidates get a real, running record of their own submission history rather than having to trust a recruiter's word for where their resume has gone.
47% to the recruiter who supplies the candidate, 47% to the recruiter who supplies the job order, with a flat 6% platform fee to CounselLedger — the same structure used by established networks like Top Echelon and NPAworldwide. A recruiter who sources both sides of a placement independently keeps 94%.
Yes. Every submission is logged and visible to the candidate by looking up their own email — which employer, which role, and the current status (submitted blind, or reveal approved) — so there's no need to just take a recruiter's word for it.
Live openings by practice area and market — associate through counsel, law firm and in-house, updated daily.
