MS Legal Search Opens Dallas Office

DALLAS —- MS Legal Search has announced the opening of a new office to manage the firm’s increased growth in Dallas-area business. Established and operated by former practicing lawyers, the firm has successfully placed experienced attorneys in positions with leading law firms and corporations since 1995.

“We have worked with clients across Texas for more than a decade, and we are pleased to add a permanent Dallas presence to our established Houston base,” says Elaine Makris Williams, the firm’s founder. “Dallas is a dynamic legal market. Having a Dallas office will enhance our ability to provide personalized attention to the attorneys, law firms, and companies we work with there.”

The new office will be managed by Lisa Durham, formerly a partner in the mergers, acquisitions and securities sections of Jones Day’s Dallas office, where she practiced for more than 11 years. Durham is a graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Law and Trinity University in San Antonio. “I believe my experience as a practicing attorney and a mentor of young associates will be extremely helpful in identifying qualified lawyers with the greatest potential for long-term success,” says Durham. “MS Legal Search has developed an excellent reputation among attorneys and top-notch legal employers, and I’m excited about this opportunity to build on their success.”

MS Legal Search is fully owned and operated by women and is a certified Women’s Business Enterprise. The firm’s other members are Stacy Humphries, former Vice President of Legal Affairs for the Houston Rockets, and Amy Nelson, former Jones Day associate.
