Managing Partner & Founder
Drew Titus
Drew Titus is the Managing Partner and Founder of COGO Partners, a premier boutique legal executive search and staffing firm focused on helping leading law firms and corporate legal departments strategically build, scale, and strengthen their legal platforms. With more than 30 years of legal-industry marketing and consulting expertise, Drew advises senior leadership on critical talent decisions that directly impact revenue, leadership depth, and long-term competitive position—going far beyond traditional recruiting.
Prior to launching COGO Partners, Drew held senior leadership roles at some of the most innovative legal services companies in the market, including Clutch Group (now Morae Global), and Update Legal (now part of Innovative Driven). These organizations helped redefine how lawyers practice law—operating at the intersection of legal talent, technology, data, and modern service delivery.
That background gives Drew a distinct advantage today: he understands not only who firms should hire, but how elite talent must be positioned, framed, and narrated to resonate with managing partners, practice leaders, and compensation committees in highly competitive hiring decisions.
Although intentionally boutique, COGO Partners operates at the highest levels of the legal market, advising Am Law 100 law firms and Fortune 500 corporate legal departments on how to build durable, high-performing legal teams. Drew works directly with managing partners, practice leaders, and general counsel to identify where talent can most effectively accelerate growth—whether by strengthening a core practice, launching a new capability, or upgrading leadership within a critical group. His approach combines deep market intelligence, precise candidate positioning, and an ability to deliver exceptional talent with uncommon speed.

Amy Stisser
Amy is a partner at COGO Partners where she focuses on lateral partner, counsel and associate placements. Prior to joining COGO, Amy spent 15 years with the legal recruiting departments of two global firms in New York - first as a manager at Weil, and later as head of Milbank’s global recruiting team.
Working closely with recruits and attorneys at all levels, as well as firm leadership and administrative teams, Amy has developed a deep understanding of the business operations and evolving practice needs of a firm, enabling her to balance firms’ strategic objectives with an empathetic, candidate-centered approach.
Over the past 25 years, Amy has built lasting relationships across the legal community.

Some of her most rewarding placements each year have grown out of these long-standing connections.
