Sarah Epstein Bowman, Esq. joined Continuum Legal in 2004 as a lateral attorney career search specialist. Her experience encompasses associate, counsel, and partner placements as well as law firm mergers. Her extensive background in the legal community provides her with the resources to provide quality consultation for attorneys and elusive top talent for clients. Sarah has placed dozens of attorneys from a variety of practice areas into AmLaw 100 law firms, boutique law firms, and "in-house" positions at both small and large companies. She would be happy to provide references from candidates and clients who have personally experienced her work.
Sarah earned her undergraduate degree in Philosophy from Princeton University in 1992. She earned her law degree from American University in 1996. A Maryland barred attorney, she began her recruiting career in 1997.
With 13 years of legal recruiting experience, she has been able to develop a comprehensive network from which to draw in order to find opportunities for her candidates that are not necessarily job "openings." Sarah’s approach in any market, particularly a tough market, is to conduct job searches based not on advertised openings but, rather, on contacts.
She is based in the Washington, DC area, but has an expansive network which extends well past her home base. So, she is able to work with candidates who are interested in relocating just as well as those who wish to move across the street. She has placed dozens of attorneys in Washington, DC as well as many attorneys in Virginia, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Minnesota, Michigan, Texas, Hong Kong, and other locations as well.
For all candidates who approach her, she takes the time to provide a candid and honest assessment of career prospects and search tips. For attorneys who are not necessarily interested in making a move but who are merely curious about current market trends, Sarah is happy to share her insight regarding market patterns, available opportunities, and overall attorney career development. Sarah has become a go-to search consultant and career advisor particularly for attorneys in the Washington, DC area. Her advice has been featured in the Legal Times and the Daily Record as well as on career specialist panels at area law schools.
Prior to her position with Continuum Legal, Sarah served as Legal Recruiting Manager for Fannie Mae, Director of Human Resources for Sageworks, Inc., Director of Legal Recruiting for Management Recruiters International, and Senior Attorney Search Consultant for Klein Landau & Romm.
