Meet the Founders

The people behind
every search.

When you work with The Merker Group, you work directly with Kevin and Danielle — not a coordinator or junior recruiter. That's what makes us different.

Danielle focuses on legal recruitment of attorneys at all levels for many of the top Am Law 100 and 200 firms, as well as in-house legal departments across all sectors. Prior to founding The Merker Group, she practiced law for nine years in New York City — experience that gives her unmatched insight into what attorneys and firms truly need from a search.
