Find the Right Opportunity for What Comes Next

J. Sheppard Associates works with attorneys and other professionals exploring new career opportunities.

Our approach goes beyond matching a résumé to an open position. We take the time to understand your experience, goals, priorities, preferred environment and long-term career objectives so we can help identify opportunities that genuinely make sense.

Attorney Opportunities

JSA works with attorneys across a range of practice areas and experience levels, including associates, counsel, lateral partners, practice leaders and attorneys considering in-house opportunities.

We look beyond title and technical background. Practice strength, client relationships, career goals, leadership interests, compensation expectations, culture and long-term fit can all influence whether an opportunity is the right next step.

Whether you are actively considering a move or simply interested in understanding the market, we can help you evaluate opportunities thoughtfully.

Professional & Executive Opportunities

JSA also works with executives and other professionals pursuing leadership and business-critical roles with law firms, companies and professional-services organizations.

These searches may include C-suite executives, COOs, CFOs, CMOs, executive directors, business-development and marketing professionals, technology and IT leaders, finance and operations professionals and other specialized roles.

Our focus remains the same: understanding the candidate, the organization and the long-term fit.

Confidentiality

Career conversations can be sensitive, especially when you are currently employed or only beginning to explore your options.

JSA treats candidate conversations with discretion and works carefully to protect your privacy and professional relationships throughout the process.

You do not need to be actively looking for a new position to have a conversation with us.
