About Us
By Ken Siegel at Morrison & Foerster
Dawn is one of our best recruiters. I don’t know how she does it but she brings in the best talent.
★★★★★
White & Case partner
Dawn was a breath of fresh air! She goes above and beyond for me and it was clear that she truly cares about her candidates. She is extremely accessible and her knowledge of the global legal markets is unparalleled. Highly recommend her for any team looking to move.
★★★★★
Mergers & Acquistions Partner at Davis Polk
I worked with Dawn for over a year on my placement. She is extremely experienced and nuanced in her approach. She understands the practice of law and has very strong connections with the top Am Law firms. It’s almost as if she offers a concierge service.

Founder and Managing Partner
Dawn P. Robertson
With 21 years of legal recruiting experience, I love helping candidates find fulfilling, sustainable, and rewarding roles. I deeply respect the dedication of attorneys and am honored to assist top partner candidates, known for my integrity and experience in the lateral hiring process.
I began my legal career at Harvard Law and worked as an M&A associate at a leading Wall Street firm. Seeking more personal connection, I left Big Law to start Cypress Recruiting Group, a decision I’ve never regretted. My mission is to guide partners toward the same satisfaction I’ve found.
I work closely with a select group of exceptional partners and small teams. Our boutique firm also has a vetted team focused on associate and counsel placements.
