Founder-led Retained Executive Search
We place leaders who transform organizations
Somers & Associates is a retained executive search firm serving law firms, investment banks, accounting firms and consulting organizations. Every search is personally led by the firm’s founder. We are highly selective and accept a limited number of engagements at a time.

Why we are different
Who we serve
Law firms and professional services organizations with increasingly complex leadership demands.
Law firms
Global, national and elite boutique firms building an executive bench to match their ambition.
Investment banks
Advisory and merchant banking platforms securing the leadership required to drive performance and growth.
Accounting firms
Audit, tax and advisory organizations navigating consolidation, capital and scale.
Consulting firms
Strategy and professional services partnerships where culture and economics are inseparable.
The strongest candidates are rarely looking.
The leadership roles that determine an organization’s performance and success are also among the hardest to fill. Reaching exceptional executives requires more than access. It requires experience, credibility and a compelling approach.
