Placing the finest legal minds

Testimonials

Over the years, RainMaker Group has worked closely with our Commercial Real Estate group on a number of recruitment mandates ranging from associate to counsel to partner. Adam Lepofsky’s knowledge of the real estate market and industry is unparalleled. He is service-oriented and asks the right questions in order to seek a clear understanding of the true needs of our Group and the Firm. Further, the combination of the dedication, judgment and professionalism of Adam and his team ensure a successful result for the candidate and for us. It is always a pleasure to work with him and his team. I highly recommend this team for your search.

Testimonials

What sets RainMaker Group apart is their personalized and long-term partnership approach. RainMaker takes the time to get to know not only your legal recruitment needs but also the team dynamics and corporate culture of your organization to ensure the successful candidate is ultimately the right fit in terms of skills, values and vision. Their commitment to building successful teams, one lawyer at a time, while understanding the evolving legal market makes RainMaker the trusted recruiter of choice.

Testimonials

Because of RainMaker Group’s extraordinary efforts in filling our last legal placement I have no hesitation in giving RainMaker my highest endorsement. We knew we were in good hands right from the start because of RainMaker Group’s emphasis on the “know your customer” process. RainMaker Group asked all the right questions and were exceptional listeners. Clearly RainMaker has substantial industry contacts and a talent for seeking out the right skill set. But RainMaker’s real value to Orlando Corporation was both in understanding our particular corporate culture and then finding precisely the right personality to suit it. The fact that they faced an extremely tight market made things all the more challenging, and we were impressed by their dedication in wanting to ‘get it right’. I am especially thankful that you Adam and Danya were so patient and persistent, never allowing us to lower our sights or to consider candidates that didn’t measure up to each of our requirements. Their vetting  process was a huge timesaver and one of the many reasons why we will use RainMaker for our next hire.

Testimonials

RainMaker Group was a great recruitment partner in many of our searches. They understood our business, culture and candidate requirements, and we were impressed with their commitment to service and the depth of their knowledge of the legal market. I would highly recommend RainMaker Group to any corporation seeking a high-calibre lawyer at any level.

Testimonials

In my nine years as Managing Partner of Aird & Berlis LLP, I had the opportunity to work with RainMaker Group on many occasions. I found them to be very knowledgeable about the Canadian legal marketplace; detailed in their vetting and coaching of candidates; and careful about only presenting candidates who they believe will be a fit with our Firm. This attention to detail and “fit” sets RainMaker apart from most other recruiting firms. The candidates placed with us by RainMaker have, without exception, been strong additions to our firm and have thrived in our environment.

– Steven Zakem served on the firm’s Executive Committee since 2011, and was Managing Partner from 2015 to 2024.

Testimonials

The team at RainMaker Group invested the time to understand the Company’s business and culture, and how the Law Department contributes to both. As a result, Rainmaker helped us attract two outstanding candidates who fit in seamlessly and made immediate contributions. I’d recommend them for any legal search.

Testimonials

Being located outside the GTA, we often have difficulty recruiting top talent. Rainmaker Group has been integral in our ability to filter through the talent pool to identify the best candidate for our Firm’s requirements. We have had multiple hiring successes engaging Rainmaker Group and look forward to working with them in the future.

Testimonials

RainMaker has been our exclusive agent for recruiting in-house counsel for several years. Over that time we have added a number of lawyers on both a permanent and contract basis and, in each case, the lawyer has been a success. They take the time to understand our needs and culture – and approach each assignment with professionalism and as an opportunity to maintain and improve RainMaker’s relationship with us.

Testimonials

In the legal talent wars Adam Lepofsky is a key strategist. We rely on his direct, no-nonsense approach in accurately assessing the likely fit of potential candidates (for their sake and ours) so that we can continue building our team with exceptional lateral hires.

Testimonials

I have partnered with RainMaker Group on many successful searches across two organizations for almost 15 years.  In a “buyer’s” market, Adam and his team have been invaluable in assessing the numerous talented candidates he has sourced to find the right fit for my team and organization.  In a more challenging “seller’s” market, Adam has very successfully reached into his deep network of high-quality candidates with whom he’s cultivated personal relationships, to find us an exceptional new colleague.  Adam is a responsive and trusted advisor who “tells it like it is” and he takes the time to understand your organization and your specific needs.  Without exception, candidates speak very positively about their experience working with and being advised by the RainMaker team; and that includes myself as a former job seeker placed by RainMaker into my first in-house role. “

Testimonials

We have reached out to RainMaker Group for key support to fill strategic roles within our legal group with consistent positive results.  Adam and his team can be counted on to take the time to understand our business needs and then apply critical judgment to the process in a way that comes as close as possible to being part of our actual team.   This results in an efficient, effective and professional project that we can be proud to have our name associated with.
