There are so many reasons I would recommend working with Steven as you take the next steps in your legal career. Above all, I appreciated Steven’s knowledge, personal touch, and respect for the ways in which I wanted to shape my career as we worked together to find my next step. Steven has a deep knowledge of the legal market and an active “rolodex” of contacts who trust his judgment when he recommends candidates for open roles. These are reasons enough to entrust your next career move to Steven’s guidance, but Steven is also a joy to work with, someone who will get to know you as a person and will help bring out your best qualities as an applicant. Steven is there for you every step of the process. Lateraling can be daunting and questions undoubtedly arise. Steven was a trusted confidant and I always felt comfortable seeking his advice. He never forgets the person behind the application; in fact, he works to draw that person out so that they can put their best foot forward, confident in who they are and how they fit into a new role. Steven helped me build the confidence to take the next step in my career. He also checks in with you. You are never left hanging or waiting to learn information from him. He will keep you as informed as he is. He is your partner in the process, not someone who simply clicks “submit” when your application is ready. Perhaps most importantly, while he is a steady guide throughout the process, Steven also respects your choices and redlines and the ways in which you want to shape your career. He listens when you explain what you are looking for and he remembers details. If you want to remove particular roles from consideration because of the direction in which you are trying to drive your career, he accepts and respects those considerations. He does not push you to make a deal or accept an offer simply because it’s there. He wants the best fit for you just as much as you do. I highly recommend working with Steven to take the next step in your legal career.
