What People Say
Trusted by Canada's leading lawyers and firms.
RainMaker has been an invaluable partner to Glaholt Bowles LLP in our efforts to attract top legal talent in a highly specialized practice area. Adam and Erica team took the time to understand our firm's culture and the specific qualities we were looking for in candidates. Their thorough approach to screening and assessing potential hires gave us confidence throughout the process. RainMaker has successfully placed three lawyers with our firm, each of whom has grown to become a successful and valued member of our team. I would not hesitate to recommend RainMaker to any firm looking to strengthen its bench with exceptional lateral hires.

Tara Rosenblatt
Chief Legal Officer · Georgian
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.
Benjie Levy
President & COO · theScore
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.
David Stewart
General Counsel · Orlando Corporation
We have worked with RainMaker Group on several occasions over the last 10+ years whenever we sought to expand our team of inhouse counsel at First National. Our recruitment mandates with RainMaker have been a great success. Adam and his team are always responsive to our unique needs; they listen to our 'wish list' but offer up valuable strategic direction and advice borne out of their deep experience in placing high-quality candidates. They know the market and are well connected to a network of engaged, experienced and qualified applicants. They are also prepared to provide frank advice to manage our expectations. They feel invested in our outcomes. We know that Adam will deal with us honestly and with integrity. This is the kind of service and attention that keeps us coming back to RainMaker.

Built on inclusion.
We believe the legal profession is strongest when it reflects the full breadth of Canadian society. That conviction shapes how we search, whom we approach, and the shortlists we present to every client.
Inclusion is not a checkbox. It is a standard we hold ourselves to on every mandate, at every level, in every market we serve.
Diverse Candidate Networks
We actively cultivate relationships across the full spectrum of legal talent, ensuring every shortlist reflects the breadth of available expertise.
Inclusive Search Process
Our search methodology is designed to surface qualified candidates who are often overlooked by traditional networks and referral-only approaches.
Long-Term Partnership
We measure our success by the sustained success of the lawyers we place, not the speed of the transaction.
“The best legal teams are built when the search starts with curiosity, not assumption, and ends with talent that genuinely reflects the world the firm serves.”
