What Frink-Hamlett Legal Solutions does

Frink-Hamlett Legal Solutions is a privately held, founder-owned legal staffing firm headquartered in the New York metropolitan area. Founded by Katherine Frink Hamlett, Esq. in 2000, the company specializes in non-IT staffing of legal, compliance, and financial services professionals. It serves Fortune 500 corporations nationwide through three core service lines: contingent/temporary staffing (including specialized document reviewer placement), permanent in-house placements, and a "Sustainable Inclusion" sourcing offering that emphasizes diverse candidate pools. Clients engage either directly or through Managed Service Provider (MSP) arrangements, with the firm positioning itself as an approved supplier to Fortune 500 procurement teams with formal diversity mandates.

The company operates with a small team of 1–10 employees. Its sole proprietary technology asset is a resume database managed by its Talent Acquisition Coordinator, Mayra Peña, used for candidate sourcing and search. The firm holds WBENC, NMSDC (since 2018), and State and City of New York business enterprise certifications, which constitute its primary differentiator in enterprise procurement channels. Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis across both contingent and permanent placement streams, with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The leadership team comprises three named professionals: Katherine Frink Hamlett, Esq. (President; NYU Law, 1991; former associate at Kaye Scholer, now Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer, and former in-house counsel at USA Networks); Lloyd Donders, Esq. (Senior Search Consultant; Brooklyn Law, 1999; former Technology Consultant at Credit Suisse and NY Bar Committee on Securities Regulation member); and Mayra Peña (Talent Acquisition Coordinator; premier NYC law firm administrative background). Marketing is conducted through LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and thought leadership content on the company website. The source material discloses no funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships beyond MSP channel arrangements, or significant corporate structural changes.
