About EOLIS

A Pioneering Spirit     

In 1967 while still a student, Wendeen Eolis established EOLIS as the first search firm strictly for lawyers. Two years later, with retainer-based search assignments for Cravath, Swain, and Moore and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Wendeen was poised to grow her fledgling business. She moved her solo practice from a Greenwich Village basement apartment to a tonier commercial building in the heart of Manhattan and hired employees to support the work. And, with her founding of the National Association of Legal Search Consultants, she moved forward from the invention of the legal search industry to pre-eminent leadership in its growth. Today EOLIS International Group is the EOLIS flagship. It serves the legal profession and corporate clients who seek JD-credentialed talent.
