What People Say
Trusted by Canada's leading lawyers and firms.
In the legal talent wars Adam Lepofsky is a key strategist. We rely on his direct, no-nonsense approach in accurately assessing the likely fit of potential candidates (for their sake and ours) so that we can continue building our team with exceptional lateral hires.
Hugh L. MacKinnon
Chairman / CEO · Bennett Jones LLP
RainMaker Group has been a true strategic partner. Adam and his team took the time to understand our business and the challenges that we face. They listened to us, and at the same time, pushed our thinking toward the ways to better serve our clients. Most importantly, they gave us a choice of top talent.
John L. Howard
SVP and General Counsel · W.W. Grainger, Inc.

Tara Rosenblatt
Chief Legal Officer · Georgian
Whitney and Adam were great to work with. They kept me up to date during every step of the recruitment process and were very helpful by providing thoughtful insights on their client and the job opportunity. They were also very accommodating around my busy schedule and worked very hard to bridge the connection between me and their client. It was a pleasure working with them.
Leo Wan
Senior Legal Counsel · theScore Inc.
We have worked with RainMaker Group on several occasions over the last 10+ years whenever we sought to expand our team of inhouse counsel at First National. Our recruitment mandates with RainMaker have been a great success. Adam and his team are always responsive to our unique needs; they listen to our 'wish list' but offer up valuable strategic direction and advice borne out of their deep experience in placing high-quality candidates. They know the market and are well connected to a network of engaged, experienced and qualified applicants. They are also prepared to provide frank advice to manage our expectations. They feel invested in our outcomes. We know that Adam will deal with us honestly and with integrity. This is the kind of service and attention that keeps us coming back to RainMaker.
Hilda Wong
Executive Vice President and General Counsel · First National Financial LP
RainMaker has been our exclusive agent for recruiting in-house counsel for several years. Over that time we have added a number of lawyers on both a permanent and contract basis and, in each case, the lawyer has been a success. They take the time to understand our needs and culture – and approach each assignment with professionalism and as an opportunity to maintain and improve RainMaker's relationship with us.

Built on inclusion.
We believe the legal profession is strongest when it reflects the full breadth of Canadian society. That conviction shapes how we search, whom we approach, and the shortlists we present to every client.
Inclusion is not a checkbox. It is a standard we hold ourselves to on every mandate, at every level, in every market we serve.
Diverse Candidate Networks
We actively cultivate relationships across the full spectrum of legal talent, ensuring every shortlist reflects the breadth of available expertise.
Inclusive Search Process
Our search methodology is designed to surface qualified candidates who are often overlooked by traditional networks and referral-only approaches.
Long-Term Partnership
We measure our success by the sustained success of the lawyers we place, not the speed of the transaction.

“The best legal teams are built when the search starts with curiosity, not assumption, and ends with talent that genuinely reflects the world the firm serves.”
RainMaker Group
