Who We Are
Over 20+ Years of Experience
Gillman Strategic Group is a “law firm matchmaker” that helps successful partners and Rainmakers with significant portable business find a better fit at a new law firm.
We work with individual partners and groups of partners who want more from their career: more work-life balance, better staffing, more support, more compensation, and/or a better fit.
Successful lawyers should enjoy practicing law!
Our Core Values
No Eeyores allowed
Everyone who works at our company has to be upbeat, cooperative, and resourceful, and we try to keep the process stress-free for our candidates.
Fully supported
This is a big life decision for our candidates, so we make ourselves available whenever possible, even outside of business hours.
Confidentiality is a given
Candidates never have to worry about their confidentiality being compromised.
We like to sleep at night
We only recommend a job change that we believe is an improvement, even if it means telling the candidate to stay where they are.
All in or not at all
Both candidate and our company must be fully committed, or we won’t move forward. We only work with candidates who appreciate our service and understand its value.
We love lawyers
We are here because we want lawyers to live amazing lives. Often people expect lawyers to be happy because they earn well. We know there’s more and are here to support you.

Jennifer Gillman is President of Gillman Strategic Group, a legal recruiting company focused solely on law firm partner placement. Her goal is to help dissatisfied law firm partners and solo practitioners find the perfect fit at another firm, which can make a dramatic difference in their career and personal satisfaction. Her superpower is being able to tell in 15 minutes whether a law firm partner would be happier changing firms or if their current firm is the best fit.
A recovering lawyer herself, Jen knows how busy law firm partners are, and how Jen received her J.D. from New York University School of Law and her undergraduate degree from Brandeis University, magna cum laude. After practicing law for 12 years, she realized that legal recruiting combined her two passions of law and matchmaking. She worked with a full-service New Jersey legal recruiting firm for 10 years, before following her dream and launching Gillman Strategic Group in 2018.
Outside of work she enjoys spending time with her lawyer husband and two children.

Prior to GSG, he was the in-house counsel for BIC Management, a real estate business based in Southern California. During this time, he also pursued his interest in the entertainment field by counseling some up-and-coming music artists as well as drafting legal/business agreements for a talent agency in the film sector. His wide scope of experience in the legal, real estate and entertainment worlds helps him bring a fresh perspective to legal recruiting.
Outside of work he enjoys going to local music concerts and playing guitar with his “Dad band.” He also is an avid tennis player and enjoys exploring local restaurants with his wife and friends.
