Regulatory

Regulatory laterals, recruited nationwide.

Regulatory lawyers are often hired for the agency they know, so the search starts with the agency.

The Search

Agency first.


We ask which regulators you work with, which rulemakings, enforcement matters, and counseling projects you have handled, and how much client contact you have. Lateral Lock works back from there to the firms.

  • Firms built around your regime.FCC, FERC, banking-regulatory, and consumer-protection practices are each hired for the regime the lawyer knows. We target groups where your agency experience is central to the work.
  • Researching the group.We confirm that each firm has a real practice in front of your agency, and we look at the mix of counseling and enforcement work it handles.
  • Your experience, accurately.We order the resume the way a regulatory group reads it: the agency, the rulemakings or enforcement matters, then the counseling. You approve every resume edit before the resume goes out. A short cover letter leads with the regime that firm prioritizes and goes out with the submission unless you ask to see it first.
  • Confidential search.Introductions go out only with your consent. We prepare you for interviews and help negotiate.
