Julie Reed — Co-Founder
Hi there 👋, I’m Julie Reed, Founder of IKR Enterprises. I’m a legal recruiter specializing in attorney placements at top-tier firms. I focus on high-level associate and partner roles, the searches that require deep market knowledge, discretion, and a relationship-first approach. What makes me different? I understand that lateral moves are career-defining. I’m the recruiter law firms trust to find exceptional talent, and the recruiter attorneys want to work with because I respect confidentiality and only present opportunities that genuinely advance careers. For law firms: I specialize in associate and partner placements across M&A, financial services, complex litigation, and other practice areas where credentials and culture both matter. I start with deep intake to understand your practice group’s needs, firm culture, and what makes laterals successful at your firm. Then I run highly targeted searches focused on attorneys from firms with proven lateral success, manage a discreet process, and deliver candidates who hit the ground running. For attorneys: Complete confidentiality and respect for your time. I only reach out when I have a role that fits your practice area, experience level, and career goals. You’ll get clear information, honest feedback, and strategic guidance on positioning. Every conversation stays confidential, and I never push, today’s associate is tomorrow’s partner or GC. This relationship is built long-term.
