6/1983: Our first placement! We placed Laureen DeBuono from Bronson into Heller, Ehrman.
{{Reflist}}
7/1983: Our second placement! We were on a roll. We placed Stuart Scheinholtz into the position vacated by Laureen at Bronson. Later that year, we make our first in-house placement, Tom Duffy into Fujitsu America.
7/1984: Kristy announces that she’s fallen in love and will be moving to Los Angeles. This coincidentally aligns with our plan to open a L.A. office (we were really doing well by that time). After a week of contemplation, Kristy decides she cannot face a repeat of the “nuclear winter” we faced during the firm’s start-up phase. She sells her share to me.
9/1984: Marty Africa joins the firm from Boalt Hall. As a “signing bonus” over dinner at her house, I give Marty the double album, “Marvin Gaye’s Greatest Hits.” She works on a commission basis. The firm’s name remains “Robert A. Major & Associates.” Marty and I are the only employees. Our database consists of index cards in a plastic box.
1985: We move to San Francisco’s Financial District (per Marty’s request). We hire our first employee, an administrative assistant. Marty insists on modern technology, so we buy new phones (with “hold” buttons), two Brother electronic memory typewriters, and a small photocopying machine. We no longer have to type each cover letter individually. We complete our first law firm merger, of sorts (Marty merged a group into Brown & Wood).
1986: we open our first office outside San Francisco, in Dallas. Jim Wilson, a law school classmate of mine, joins, and we change the firm’s name to “Major, Wilson & Africa” to recognize Marty’s increasing contributions and to help Jim establish himself in Texas. Marty and Jim decide the order of the names.
1987: Jim Wilson moves back to Houston, his former home, to open an office there. We keep the Dallas office by recruiting an esteemed competitor, Heidi Haring. Later that year, the American Lawyer names us the #1 legal recruiting firm in the US and runs a profile on us (along with two other firms), together with our photos. The profile includes this quote: “Hiring partners in particular describe them as in a league apart from other headhunting firms.” The quote becomes a central tag line to future advertising. Business pours through the door, including helping Skadden open its San Francisco office with the placement of nine associates.
1988: Laura Hagen, another law school classmate, joins to establish a Chicago office.
1989: I establish a “correspondent relationship” with Hughes-Castell, London and Hong Kong, which allows us to advertise our international capability. The deal is sealed with Helen and Clare Castell over a splendid dinner at Rules, in London.
1991: we open a Washington, DC office with Katherine Burke, a non-lawyer administrator from Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering (referred to me by another law school classmate, Steve Doyle). We close this unprofitable office after a year in order to focus on two new offices, New York and Atlanta.
1992: New York opens with Jon Lindsey and June Eichbaum, who come from a competitor, Smythe, Masterson & Judd. Atlanta opens with Wesley Dobbs, a friend of Jim Wilson (Wesley had no prior experience in the legal field or in recruiting). Each office runs independently, with the exception of Atlanta, which is under Jim’s supervision (and economic partnership). All offices pay a portion of their revenues to the San Francisco office. Firm-wide national-level advertising expenses are shared by all offices. Local advertising and other local expenses, hiring decisions, and partnership decisions are the responsibility of each office.
1994: San Francisco opens a satellite office in Palo Alto, headed by Jon Escher, who previously worked in the San Francisco office.
1988-95: All offices continue to grow by adding recruiters (Miriam Frank and Lydia Marti in Chicago, Bob Graff and Catherine Butts in Atlanta, Chuck Fanning and Scott Dubin in San Francisco).
1996: Jim Wilson leaves the firm, which is renamed “Major, Hagen & Africa” in honor of Laura Hagen in Chicago.
12/1999: The Palo Alto office departs en masse to form a competitor (Solutus), causing great inner reflection and self-analysis. After much discussion, we decide to hire an outside consultant to analyze if the firm has any deep systemic problems. The consultant, Carter Brown, delivers his report, and the partners vote to hire Carter as CEO to overhaul the firm, curing some of the issues that Carter identified.
2001-04: Carter directs the aggressive growth of the firm, now restructured as MHA Global LLC, with new offices in Hong Kong (headed by Melinda Wallman), Philadelphia, Washington, DC (headed by Jeff Lowe), Los Angeles (Gigi Birchfield and PJ Harari), Seattle (Karen Andersen and Alisa Tazioli), Milwaukee (Mark Jungers), San Diego (Deb Ben-Canaan), and our first “merger” with an existing recruiting firm, Bickerton & Gordon of Boston. With our growth and attendant complexity, Carter hires three professional managers (Laurie Caplane, Tom Colberg, and --). Each manager has responsibility over a geographic area (East, Midwest, and West), as well as a practice area (PPG, APG, and IHPG). Cater retains oversight of International, which is supplemented by a London office. Carter actively investigates the addition of a contract attorney business.
2005: Laura Hagen leaves the firm, which is renamed “Major, Lindsey & Africa” in honor of Jon Lindsey in New York.
2008: the Board [decided to move from a geographic organizational structure to] implemented a practice group structure, with experienced [and assigned or hired] Regional Practice Managers to lead [, most with extensive search experience, to manage] each regional team. In addition, it invited Allegis Group, Inc. the largest privately-held staffing company in the United States, to become a strategic [in as a new] investor in Major, Lindsey & Africa. Since [January 1,] 2008, Allegis Group has owned a controlling interest in MLA and since 2014, [as of December 31, 2013, owns] 100% of the firm. [Shortly following the investment by Allegis, MLA Legal, LLC was formed by re-naming the existing Major, Lindsey & Africa, LLC and other corporate organizational changes were made to streamline the organization.] MLA Legal, LLC now includes [controls] Major, Lindsey & Africa, LLC, [a new company that was formed as part of the corporate re-organization, and] its project attorneybusiness, MLA- Solutions Practice Group, LLC, and [the] its sister company, Allegis Partners, a global executive search firm.
