I help lawyers find fulfilling careers – both as a legal recruiter at Onward Recruiting and as a career coach via JD Careers Out There. Since 2003, I’ve been helping lawyers identify and pursue career opportunities that fit their goals, interests and experience. Lawyers and employers alike find my recruiting approach to be personalized, consultative, holistic, and friendly. Facilitating connections and making successful long-term matches is what drives me. Confidentiality is always honored and respected. At Onward, we work with distinguished law firms of all sizes and in-house counsel roles in Los Angeles and nationwide.Want to talk about your career and future? ☑ Message me on LinkedIn or at marc@onwardrecruiting.com. For a quick snapshot of my history: After graduating from the U of Michigan (go blue!), I went to law school in my hometown of Chicago with a goal to work in the music business. A summer associate job at a record label’s legal department in NYC taught me law practice wasn’t for me. So I moved to California and pursued nonlegal jobs in the music industry. I got to work for my rock star heroes, worked in a marketing department, managed bands, and was ultimately getting hired to do music licensing thanks to my JD.As the industry contracted, I wanted a new way to apply my law background. So I made a career change and became a legal recruiter in 2003.During the 2010s, I created JD Careers Out There to help lawyers explore alternative careers. My one-to-one, group, and self-guided career coaching programs have helped lawyers across the U.S. to figure out what fits them (law or otherwise). In 2022, I returned to legal recruiting so I can continue helping lawyers find the right career fit while also connecting them to their next law jobs. As of 2023, I'm also a Certified Executive Coach thanks to an International Coaching Federation (ICF) training program. I continue to do career coaching and alternative career coaching for lawyers in addition to legal recruiting.Want to chat about your career and future? ☑ Message me on LinkedIn or at marc@onwardrecruiting.com.
