Patrick Moya

Bio

Patrick Moya is the President and CEO of Quaero Group, an attorney search firm, where he exclusively recruits law firm partners and groups nationwide for AmLaw 100 & 200 firms, and boutique law firms. He began recruiting attorneys in 2008 and, throughout his career, has placed hundreds of attorneys at various law firms and has opened offices for both large and small firms. Like most attorney headhunters, he has done numerous in-house searches but for the last 10 years has exclusively placed partners with law firms. Statistically, the majority of the partners have been significant revenue generators for their law firms in major US markets.

Law firms look to Patrick for his fortitude and assiduousness to get searches completed timely and efficiently, with exceptional lawyers who positively impact the firm’s quality of work and generate significant revenue.

His candidates trust his knowledge of their respective marketplaces, his awareness of the most current legal trends, and his dedication to working with each candidate to ensure that a new firm is better for each attorney or group, and better for their respective clients. His philosophy is simple: if it is not a long-term fit, then it is not a good move.

Patrick was trained by numerous authors and, more importantly, the Chairs and Managing Partners of law firms with whom he has partnered. He is a graduate of the University of Colorado, Boulder, with a degree in biochemistry and molecular, cellular and developmental biology. He is a member and former Vice President of the National Association of Legal Search Consultants (NALSC), former President of the Rocky Mountain Association of Recruiters (nonprofit), and former Board of Directors member of the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS).

Outside of work, Patrick enjoys hitting the slopes in the winter, mountain biking and camping in the summer, and playing and watching various sports with his three kids all year.
