About Tobey Delano Consulting, LLC
Tobey Delano is a seasoned and highly successful legal recruiter specializing in Boston and the Greater New England area. With an extensive track record of placing law firm attorneys and in-house counsel across various industries and practice areas, she has successfully placed attorneys at AmLaw 100, 200 firms while also working closely with boutique and regional firms.
With over a decade of experience in the legal search industry, Tobey has consistently been recognized as a top producer. She previously worked for the boutique legal recruiting firm Sacks & Delano Consulting, where she focused on attorney placements. Before transitioning into legal recruiting, Tobey began her career as an Assistant District Attorney for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Worcester County. She then moved into civil litigation at Ficksman & Conley in Boston, focusing on litigation defense in both state and federal courts. Her firsthand experience in the legal profession gives her deep insight into the needs of high-level practicing attorneys and how to align them with the right opportunities in regional, national, and international legal markets.
Tobey’s dual experience as an attorney and legal recruiter provides her with a comprehensive perspective on the search process. As the founder of TDC, she takes a proactive approach in partnering with her clients to find top legal talent. Known for her strategic, solutions-oriented mindset, she also guides attorneys throughout the job search process to help them secure roles that align with their career aspirations.
Committed to fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth, Tobey integrates modern coaching methodologies into her work. She has completed an extensive Brain-Based Coaching program from the NeuroLeadership Institute, equipping her with neuroscience-backed strategies to support attorneys in meeting the evolving demands of high-stakes legal practice. Her approach emphasizes self-awareness, emotional regulation, and intentional decision-making over reactive responses.
Tobey is passionate about helping others reach their full professional potential. Her expertise in coaching, combined with her B.A. in Psychology, enables her to provide attorneys with the tools they need for long-term success. These competencies have been instrumental in cultivating a dynamic and supportive environment that empowers legal professionals to achieve their career goals.
Tobey earned her B.A. in Psychology from Bucknell University in 2001, where she was a Division I Varsity Swimmer, Division I Varsity Water Polo player, and an Academic All-American (1997-1998). She earned her J.D. from Suffolk University School of Law in 2006, where she was a member of the Dean’s List (2003-2006).
Outside of recruiting, Tobey is a passionate and self-proclaimed “embarrassing sports mom.” Having “married into soccer” with a husband who is a Division I Men’s Varsity Soccer Coach, she can often be found on the sidelines cheering at her children’s events or her husband’s games.
