December 18, 2015

Legal staffing provider Lawyer’s Staffing Inc. said it’s merging with Accent Professional Recruiting, a sales and marketing staffing firm.

Lawyer’s Staffing President Steve Barley will head the combined firms. Accent President Angela Furbee will act as a consultant and advisor for the consolidation of the firms.

“In order to grow faster, we have been looking at merger opportunities as a supplement to organic growth for some time,” Barley said. “Accent is the first firm we have seen that really fits our culture. They have very high standards for client satisfaction and a national reputation for quality recruiting expertise in sales and marketing.”

The combined company will operate out of the Lawyer’s Staffing offices in Richmond, Va.

Lawyer’s Staffing makes more than 1,000 temporary and direct hire placements annually. The company has five offices in Virginia and North Carolina. Lawyer’s Staffing also operates a healthcare staffing division, Medicus Staffing, and a finance and accounting job board, CPAstaffing.com.

Lawyer’s Staffing was founded in 1997; Accent was founded in 1974.
