Matthew Pond, Esq
Life’s an adventure! Chapters of my own include corporate lawyer, documentary filmmaker, small business owner, and legal recruiter; I’ve been an advocate in every role, making me uniquely qualified to represent lawyers in the evolution of their careers. Since 2008 I’ve been placing lawyers in law firms worldwide, and my focus has been on the US legal market for over a decade. Allow my experience to help you create the next chapter of your story!
I graduated from the Australian National University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws. As a recruiter in Sydney, Australia, I placed Aussie and New Zealand lawyers in UK and Middle Eastern roles. Before working in recruitment, I was a corporate lawyer with Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison in New York. Guiding attorneys with their careers is a source of joy, and I have placed associates and partners in start-up law firms to established BigLaw firms. Separately, I’ve been deposed as an expert witness for my legal recruiting knowledge and expertise.
In my spare time, I enjoy being with my dogs, Joey and Morty Greenstein, street art, and gazing at my beloved koi.
