Alan Miles, the principal of Alan Miles & Associates, has been a legal search consultant since 1986, placing attorneys in law firms and corporations throughout California. Since opening his own firm in 1998, Alan now exclusively works with partners, practice groups, and law firm mergers. His personable approach to recruiting has resulted in lasting friendships, as well as solid business relationships and a respect for his ability to make a successful match.

Coming from a family of attorneys, Alan eagerly made the transition to legal recruiting after 20 years of working in the music industry. Although Alan tasted numerous successes, having several original songs published and recorded, upon the birth of his first child, he desired a lifestyle that would keep him closer to home.

Alan is a member of the National Association of Legal Search Consultants and served on its Board of Directors. Alan Miles & Associates strictly adheres to the Code of Ethics of this organization.



There are only a few recruiters who truly understand the market for partners with technology-focused clients. Bill Vochoska is one of them.

Bill works with partners and groups from a small set of practice areas that are of key importance to high technology and life science companies. He has placed patent litigators, trademark and trade secret litigators, and patent prosecutors, as well as general commercial litigators, antitrust and corporate lawyers whose clients must aggressively develop and protect their intellectual property assets to remain competitive.

Although Bill operates discreetly, he is widely known among leading partners in firms that service clients in the high-technology and life science industries.

Bill earned a JD/MBA degree from the University of Southern California and a BS degree from Boston University. He left the practice of law to work for a national legal recruiting and staffing company prior to joining Alan Miles & Associates in 1999.

When he's not recruiting attorneys, Bill enjoys playing strategy games (where his most worthy opponents are fellow lawyers), matchmaking (his track record does not compare with his success in partner recruiting), and eating too much Indian food for his own good.

Prior to beginning his career as a legal recruiter, Gary spent ten years coaching varsity basketball and teaching at-risk youth at one of the most prolific high school programs in the Los Angeles area (Centennial H.S., Compton.) Through his experience recruiting and developing Division I-caliber athletes, Gary has gained a keen insight into the nuances involved in the recruitment and placement process.
