Coaching for Career Transitions

Are you looking for a better career fit? Thinking of Starting Your Own Practice? Going in-house? Leaving the practice of law?

Before you Leap, Get the Guidance You Need.

I’ve worked with attorneys who are no longer enjoying their work,  don’t have the tools they need to grow, or no longer see a cultural fit where they are.

For Partners, Associates, and In-house Counsel

Career Transitions

I coach ambitious partners, associates, and in-house counsel who are looking for a better career fit or simply feeling stuck.

You may enjoy being a lawyer but find yourself at the wrong firm, in the wrong company, or doing work that no longer feels right. You may be looking for a stronger platform to grow your practice, better partnership prospects, greater professional development opportunities, a healthier culture, or a transition into a different practice area or in-house role. Some lawyers begin questioning whether they want to remain in practice at all.

Others want to launch their own practice.

As a lawyer and career coach who spent more than 25 years in the legal search business, I understand that career transitions are sometimes necessary to advance your career, build your practice, or create greater professional satisfaction.

Whether you decide to stay or seek out new opportunities, we work together to get you the career you want and deserve.

For Senior Lawyers

The Next Stage

Are you a senior lawyer looking for the next step in your career and life? My program The Next Stage helps you take a step back. We explore why you became a lawyer, what has been satisfying in your career, and what does transitioning/retirement look like. We identify your  options and create a plan.

After 30+ years in practice, a lot of lawyers are ready for some sort of change. Yet many are unsure what that change should be or how to implement that change. The Next Stage coaching is a way to help you get through this difficult transition.

Trying to figure out how to plan a meaningful Next Stage of your career?

What my clients say…

I had the good luck of meeting Steve, through a mutual connection on LinkedIn. In the past year, he has proven to be not only a fantastic coach, but an even better human being. Steve has helped me through some extremely difficult periods in my career, and he makes himself available at all hours.

He helped both guide me to a particular firm that was a really good fit for me, and to make that transition a success. He was also extremely helpful and successful in working with me to cultivate clients, which is something I have struggled with in the past. With Steve’s help and expertise, I was able to start building my book of business. I already referred several colleagues to Steve who are working with him and share similar sentiments to mine

- Real Estate Partner at AmLaw50 Firm

Steve Seckler has been a tremendous help to me over this past year with his sage advice, clear insights, perpetual patience, preternatural positivity, ability to push me without being pushy, and creative solutions to thorny problems. I feel he is an advisor, friend and role model all rolled into one.

- Construction Law Partner at Suburban Practice

I worked with Steve Seckler during an important transition period in my career as I began planning the next phase of my professional life and the gradual winding down of my law practice. Steve provided exactly the kind of guidance I needed, thoughtful questions, practical perspective, and consistent accountability. With his help, I was able to move from thinking about the transition to actually executing it. I was able to begin transitioning long-standing client relationships, communicate my plans to firm leadership, and put meaningful structure around the next stage of my career. I would strongly recommend working with Steve.

- Lead Rainmaker at Regional Firm in New England

If you are looking for someone to help you with workplace transitions, I would highly recommend Steve Seckler. I have known Steve for over 30 years. During that time, I have seen first-hand the dedication, attention to detail and commitment Steve puts into his work and his clients. In my own career when I needed someone to consult and bounce ideas off of, Steve was at the top of the list and always and consistently and eagerly available. He is an exceptional listener and has a special knack for knowing the right questions to ask and the professional experience that then allows him to provide thoughtful and meaningful guidance.

- Attorney/Mediator

Stephen works closely with his clients to help them develop strategies for legal marketing tailored to their unique circumstances. He brings to bear a strong understanding of best practices for establishing relationships of trust that will benefit both attorneys and their clients and works closely with his clients to design effective and achievable business development plans. I highly recommend him.
