Steve Lanza Email & Phone Number

I am a legal recruiter who specializes in placing candidates in-house and at law firms of all sizes. My approach to recruiting is consultative. I guide candidates through the entire lifecycle of their job search, serving as a resource and sounding board. I recognize that every candidate has unique motivations for undertaking a search and I take pride in helping my candidates find opportunities that will enable them to achieve their professional goals. At the outset, I gather as much information as possible about a candidate’s background and their impetus for exploring the market. I then educate them about their options. Once candidates have decided which opportunities to pursue, I leverage the relationships I’ve built at companies and law firms to help them secure interviews. During the interview stage, I thoroughly prepare my candidates for their meetings, which helps minimize their stress and gives them a leg up on candidates who are working with less knowledgeable recruiters. When my candidates receive offers, I help them to negotiate the terms and, should they decide to accept, to navigate their departures from their current firms. If at any stage in the interview process my candidates decide that an opportunity is not the right fit and that they would like to withdraw, they will not receive any resistance from me. After all, I recognize that it’s the candidate’s search I’m facilitating, not my own. My in-house placements include: • mid-level corporate and litigation associates at a major sports league• a junior corporate associate at a pre-IPO biopharmaceutical company• a mid-level litigator into a business side role at a transactional insurance underwriting platform • a seasoned in-house attorney as the GC of a global wine auction house• an experienced corporate lawyer as the GC of a family office• a mid-level litigator at a global healthcare companyMy law firm placements range from elite boutiques to full-service mid-size firms to the country’s most prestigious large law firms. I have built a reputation among my clients for recognizing which candidates would be well-matched for their culture and particular need; as a consequence, I am frequently entrusted with exclusive searches, which benefit both the client and the candidates who work with me.

Listed skills include Litigation, Civil Litigation, Product Liability, Mediation, and 11 others.
