Prescott Legal acquired by Special Counsel
Headline News
One of Texas' most well-known legal recruiting firms has been acquired by a Florida company. Prescott Legal -- the 26-year-old Houston legal staffing firm that has placed more than 500 attorneys in Houston, Austin and Dallas in the last five years -- was acquired by Jacksonville, Fla.-based Special Counsel Inc., the legal staffing division of MPS Group, for an undisclosed sum.
"Lauren and I are very pleased to be able to position Prescott with a national leader in legal staffing services," said Larry Prescott, who founded Prescott alongside his wife, Lauren. "Lauren and I are excited about Prescott's working with Special Counsel both here in Texas and across the country."
According to a Special Counsel release, Prescott has received the highest ratings in two national employer surveys in American Lawyer magazine -- the only Texas firm to do so.
"As a life-long resident of Texas, I know that together, Special Counsel and Prescott will be able to offer our client unparalleled search and temporary placement services," said David Maldonado, senior vice president of Special Counsel.
