Our Story

From our roots as an executive search firm to providing a comprehensive array of recruiting and consulting services, Calibrate’s mission has always been the same: to help our clients strategically develop and implement solutions that enhance the value of their business services teams and drive revenue growth

2011

After six years inside an Am Law 100 firm, focused on both attorney recruiting and marketing/business development, Jennifer Johnson made the transition into executive search and, in 2011, founded J. Johnson Executive Search. The firm’s deep experience and unmatched network offered clients a competitive advantage in their human capital investments.

2017

J. Johnson Executive Search was rebranded as Calibrate Legal to reflect the firm’s expanded scope of consulting and advisory services. Calibrate soon grew to 8 employees - each offering professional services expertise. Calibrate Legal became known for providing exceptional support and client service while delivering industry-leading strategy and executive search services. Calibrate Legal also pioneered the Revenue Enabler™ movement, dedicated to valuing and identifying professionals who drive firm success and eliminating the “non-lawyer” phrase and mentality.

2020

Calibrate Strategies, a subsidiary of Calibrate Legal launched, offering consulting services focused on helping law firm marketing and business development teams realize their full potential. Their team of advisers and consultants partnered with clients to optimize their marketing technology, processes, and talent to improve performance and drive success.
