Cat Ledbetter McGee brings over seven years of experience in legal recruiting, built on a foundation of 14 years as a practicing litigator in Texas. Her recruiting career began at a boutique search firm in Texas, before four successful years as a Senior Managing Consultant at a nationally recognized recruiting firm.
Cat has placed attorneys at every level—from managing partners, to counsel, general counsel, and associates in a wide range of litigation and corporate law positions. Her extensive network and intuitive understanding of the legal landscape make her an invaluable partner to both her candidates and her clients.
What sets Cat apart is her deeply personalized approach. She doesn’t just match résumés to job descriptions—she thoughtfully aligns experience, education, geographic preferences, financial goals, character traits, and personal aspirations with both known and yet-to-be-discovered opportunities at AmLaw firms, regional powerhouses, and boutiques.
Known for her professionalism, discretion, and industry expertise, Cat is committed to building long-term relationships. She approaches every search with a strong sense of responsibility, recognizing that career moves are complex, life-changing decisions. Cat derives personal satisfaction from the knowledge that she helped facilitate a well-made match, and she truly values the personal connections she makes along the way.
Outside of work, Cat enjoys reading, traveling, walking her dogs, and spending time with family and friends. She loves attending the theatre, listening to podcasts of all sorts, bingeing the latest thrillers on Netflix and HBO, and she is equally at home either snow-skiing or on the beach (as long as it’s not too hot!).
