Summary

The Lawyer Stories Podcast episode 226 welcomes Aaron Zimmerman, the Head of Attorney Recruitment at Morgan & Morgan. Aaron shares his journey from Harvard Law School—where he was a member of the Harvard Defenders—to his current role recruiting top trial attorneys for one of the largest plaintiffs' firms in the country. Before attending Harvard, Aaron made the strategic decision to defer his admission and work as a legal headhunter at a boutique recruiting firm. There, he trained under two veteran legal recruiters and led litigation placements. This formative experience gave him deep insight into the career trajectories of litigators, helping him understand both immediate and long-term professional pathways in the legal field. As an executive recruiter, Aaron interviewed and placed hundreds of attorneys into prestigious AmLaw 100 firms both domestically and internationally. Now, he brings that wealth of experience to Morgan & Morgan, passionately working "For the People" by ensuring the firm is staffed with the best trial attorneys available.
