Search Firms

Porter Hedges does not accept unsolicited resumes from search firms. In order for a candidate to be considered, the search firm must first submit a blind profile of the candidate for our review. Blind submissions should be sent to our Recruitment Department. If we decide to move forward, we will provide a link for the formal submission of the candidate through our system. An executed search firm agreement must be in effect at the time of submission.

All search firms must submit their candidates via the designated online application link. We will review all submissions and follow up regarding next steps. Resumes sent directly to Porter Hedges attorneys will not be accepted or considered.

This policy ensures a clear and efficient process that documents submission dates and helps avoid discrepancies or duplicate submissions from multiple sources.

If you represent a search firm and wish to complete our Standard Search Firm Agreement, please email the Recruitment Department. 

Porter Hedges guarantees equal employment opportunity to all qualified applicants. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment, without regard to sex, age, race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
