Mlegal Consulting Inc., a legal search firm founded in San Francisco, is embarking on a bold expansion effort by bringing on four new employees in the Bay Area, one of whom is veteran legal recruiter Natasha Innocenti.

Innocenti, a former leader of the Northern California partner practice at Major, Lindsey & Africa, where she worked in the legal recruiting giant’s offices in Palo Alto and San Francisco, last year launched her own San Anselmo, California-based boutique called Innocenti Partners LLC.
