About EOLIS
Wendeen H. Eolis, the founder of EOLIS International Group, took her fascination with the legal profession like no one else. In 1967, she formed an attorney vetting/placement service in a spartan flat, furnished with little other than the parchment that attested to her freshly minted philosophy degree from New York University and the spirit of an entrepreneur.
In 1969, assignments from Cravath Swain & Moore LLP and the New York Port Authority allowed Wendeen to move her nascent attorney placement business to office space in the heart of Manhattan. She was on the road to a global footprint in attorney search and related legal consulting services.
