Meet Pemberton Gordon

Raised in the vibrant community of East Palo Alto, California, Pemberton Gordon boasts a rich background that uniquely positions him in the top 1% of recruiters globally. With a B.A. in Humanities from Menlo College in Atherton, CA, Pemberton’s journey from a US Army Platoon Leader to a leading legal recruiter is marked by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a deep commitment to his clients and candidates.

Though he received a letter of recommendation and considered law school, Pemberton chose to channel his passion into a different path, leveraging his extensive experience in tech and legal recruitment. His impressive track record includes recruiting for industry giants like Yahoo, EMC, Network Appliance, Tiny Prints, and Counterpane Internet Security, and placing attorneys with renowned firms such as Goodwin Procter, Jones Day, White & Case, Fish Richardson, Morgan Lewis, Gundersen Detmer, Patent Law Works, K&L Gates, and Pillsbury Winthrop.

Beyond his professional achievements, Pemberton is a dedicated family man, married with four children. He’s known for his superhero alter ego at birthday parties, donning a Black Panther costume with pride. A boxing enthusiast and avid reader, Pemberton also cherishes family picnics and actively serves in his church community. His claim to fame includes mentoring two former attorneys who have gone on to become successful serial entrepreneurs.
