A tight-knit staff and a supportive, family friendly environment are big factors that helped Houston- and Dallas-based legal recruiting firm MS Legal Search secure the honor of being among the "Best Places to Work" identified in this week's Houston Business Journal. Firm founder Elaine Makris Williams says the 13-year-old firm is committed to supporting employees and providing a collaborative environment, which pays off with happy and productive employees. The award is based on an anonymous employee survey. MS Legal is operated by former practicing lawyers who have helped place experienced attorneys in leading law firms and corporations since 1995. The firm is owned and operated by women and is a certified Women's Business Enterprise. To learn more about MS Legal Search, visit www.mslegalsearch.com.
