A New Year, A New Decade, A New Chapter!

My mother-in-law once said to me “life stage is a compelling force“. As we enter 2020, I now have two children out of college and one well on her way. I have therefore decided that this is a great time to leave Marc Z Legal and return full-time to Seckler Legal Recruiting and Coaching.

As I have done for over 20 years, I will continue to focus on recruiting partners, associates and in-house counsel for law firms, life sciences and technology companies. I will also continue to coach a broad cross section of the bar on marketing and career issues.

A Plug…for Me

May 29, 2009 by SeckAdmin

In general, I don’t think it is a good idea to use a blog to sell your services (at least not overtly).
