10 More Top Reasons to Have Abelson Legal Search Facilitate Your Partner Level Moves/Mergers
1. Knowledge of the Legal Market
Cathy knows who is looking and why. She has the ear of decision-makers in a wide variety of firms and will work to make sure you go into the process with all the relevant information available. She shares her knowledge with the other members of her professional staff. They will be careful to assure the personalities of the people, the economics of the deal and all the other “numbers” are a fit with what you are seeking. They will be certain every exchange of information is as open and complete as possible. They will offer candid advice about your proposed move. They will be objective about why a particular move or merger might be a smart career move … or not.
2. Sensitive Data Protection
In order to make a successful move, you and the attorneys on the other side of the deal will have to provide highly confidential and often proprietary information. The professionals of Abelson Legal Search are particularly well known for their ability to assist in the process and keep a deal moving forward without revealing sensitive information until both sides are comfortable doing so.
3. Support Throughout the Process
The professionals of Abelson Legal Search have the patience to support you through what is often a lengthy and sometimes tedious process. They want you to achieve your personal and career objectives and realize the process is seldom an easy one.
4. Availability
The Abelson Legal Search process requires all our professionals be available to assess your needs and preferences and provide whatever assistance you need, at a time and place convenient for you. Early morning, evening, in your community or at our offices - whatever appointment time and place work for you will work for us.
5. Confidentiality
It goes without saying, but we will remind you anyway – your confidentiality is guaranteed 100%. Abelson Legal Search professionals speak directly with the decision-makers, assuring your confidentiality and a more prompt response, thereby reducing the likelihood anyone else will find out about your plans. Since our inception, Abelson Legal Search has guaranteed absolute confidentiality. As 17-year members of the National Association of Legal Search Consultants (NALSC), we adhere to the highest ethical standards of conduct. Membership in this organization is voluntary and requires members conform to the highest ethical standards in the industry.
6. Tedious Details
Abelson Legal Search will handle all the tedious details of scheduling meetings, including offering the use of our offices and conference room to assure your greater confidence in the fact no one will suspect a move or merger is being considered.
7. Publicity
When a successful match has been achieved, Abelson Legal Search leaves the credit for mergers and partner level placements to be publicized by the parties affected, as they wish. Abelson Legal Search does not seek public recognition for the partner placements and mergers they facilitate. Cathy’s reputation, and that of the company and its staff, does not rely upon that kind of advertising.
8. Creativity
Abelson Legal Search is known for the breadth and depth of its knowledge of the legal market and its dedication to making things work for all parties. Our professionals work closely with attorneys on both sides of a deal to devise some truly inspired arrangements to keep the process moving forward and, if needed, to suggest some minor changes to make a deal work.
9. Alternative for Other Staff
After the deal is done, if there are members of your group or staff who will not be making the move with you, the professionals of Abelson Legal Search will help them find new positions that are attractive to them personally and professionally. As we work with attorneys, paralegals and a wide range of types of senior administrative staff, you can be assured they will get the best help possible in advancing their careers.
10. Extra Rewards
Abelson Legal Search will stay in touch, as needed, after the transition to provide support and consultation … and Cathy sends you a great gift when the deal is completed.
