In 2005, Cortland leveraged her experience practicing law to become a legal recruiter and spent several years performing permanent placement searches for corporate and law firm clients and building an extensive national network. Throughout that time, she developed strong relationships with clients and candidates alike, believing strongly in the tenets of integrity, transparency, thoroughness and responsiveness. Most recently, Cortland has specialized in legal services business development, providing in-house clients with flexible talent, managed services (such as e-discovery and contract abstraction projects) and legal operations solutions.
