One of the best parts about managing your own firm is that you can build initiatives that pay things forward without having to convince the higher-ups it’s a worthwhile “marketing investment”. You also don't have to convince anyone that focusing on under-represented candidates is good for the “bottom line”. Both of which are ideas I had shot down by other search firms when I decided to enter the legal recruiting industry. Being able to integrate values-based policies that extend beyond immediate financial gain is one of the biggest reasons I decided to chart my own path after learning from industry greats at larger recruitment shops. I continue to strongly encourage other legal recruitment shops to follow along! Law firms donate meaningful sums of money and time to nonprofits and I see no reason why the search firms who serve them and profit from their success can’t do the same!

Strengthening democracy requires immediate solutions within a long-game approach. She Should Run is pursuing exactly that by working to dramatically increase the number of women who are considering a run for office. I’ve served on the She Should Run Community Council since 2023 and am proud to support the critical work their team is doing to grow women’s political leadership. If you’re eager to get involved too, I encourage you to join our monthly giving program, Team250K. https://lnkd.in/eYgepdYu Women don’t just decide to run for office overnight.
