Because lawyers should do legal work, not spend days hunting for candidates

We believe hiring great legal talent should be fast, transparent, and data-driven.
That’s why LateralBase combines legal expertise with AI analytics — delivering verified shortlists in days, not weeks.
Simple. Honest. Reliable legal hiring.

Frequently asked questions
1
What exactly do I get?
We hand-curate 10 lawyers who match your brief using only publicly available information. You’ll receive their names, firms, PQE, practice areas, and a short background summary with links to public profiles or publications. We don’t contact candidates directly or share private details.
2
What if none of the candidates are a fit?
We offer one free refresh within 30 days. Our goal is to help you make a successful hire, not just deliver names. Each shortlist is built through targeted research that combines legal expertise with data-driven search, so relevance tends to be high.
