Wes Martin
Wes is a principal at Quaero Group where he exclusively recruits attorneys for law firms and in-house counsel roles. In 2004, he began his recruiting career with a large search firm in their Denver branch office. Subsequently, he spent almost a decade recruiting professionals in the oil and gas industry. In the legal world, Wes has developed relationships with attorneys from top law firms placing them at other firms or as in-counsel with our corporate clients.
Wes takes great pride in developing relationships with clients and candidates. He is not just present for the placement and then nonexistent. Being a sounding board, contributing to a team, serving, negotiating, being dependable: these are all actions Wes enjoys that develop relationships. These relationships have been the foundation of hundreds of successful placements over the years. No matter the practice area, Wes has a proven track record and ranks at the top of his peer group.
On a personal note, Wes was on the Baylor Golf Team and still plays competitively at the state level and every so often in USGA events. An avid skier, he can be found in the bumps on Mary Jane (for as long as his knees and back hold up). He’s blessed with two kids and finds himself accompanying them to their various activities: dance class, golf, rock climbing, skiing, swimming, and soccer to name a few.
