I received two job offers, greatly improved my networking skills, and developed important relationships with many people in the legal community using the techniques and guidance provided. Greiner is an excellent group to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for attorney positions and looking to develop professionally.
Partner, AmLaw 100 Firm
Long-lasting tools for ongoing growth. We consult with attorneys at all levels, nationally and internationally. Clients depend on us to be adaptive and non-formulaic. Our personally tailored services for individual attorneys, as well as human resources and professional development departments, include executive coaching, transition counseling, career planning, group facilitation, project consulting, and talent development programming.
Winners have the best coaches. Those who are determined to win work with a master. From Olympians to your neighborhood little league, they all have teams of coaches. Coaches see what players cannot, and advise in ways that are powerful, personal, and impactful. Our experience demonstrates that the attorneys who trust our expertise – to suggest, listen, strategize, guide, encourage, and map – have successful and satisfying careers, as well as greater peace of mind and rewards.
Our client firms call upon the Greiner Consulting team to provide high-powered coaching to their Partners, Counsel, Associates, and managerial-level professionals. We work closely with professionals to facilitate their growth so that they may reach their fullest potential and optimize their performance as they move through the different stages of their careers.
Law firms and corporate legal departments retain Greiner Consulting Group to assist attorneys at all levels, as well as non-practicing professionals, in managing their job searches effectively. We ensure smooth transitions to new and rewarding opportunities. Our clients are provided with the right tools, knowledge, resources, and support to stand apart in today’s highly competitive job search environment.
Partners during Transition
We encourage participating attorneys to think of us as partners in their transition process. We establish a genuine rapport and a strong working relationship with every professional we counsel.
Intake
The counseling process begins with an in-depth conversation, and engagement with a process of assessment and self-assessment. We utilize a variety of tools through which we jointly determine the direction of the search.
Customized Strategy
Utilizing our deep and up-to-the minute market knowledge, together with a clear understanding of our clients’ goals, we guide each professional to develop a strategic approach that is specific to his/her search process, and to identify and pursue the most promising opportunities in particular areas of interest.
Completing Transition
We support our clients by teaching them to approach the market in the most effective way, providing individualized guidance on preparing resumés, cover letters, deal sheets, business plans and online profiles, as well as strategic outreach and networking. As a client’s job search progresses, we offer rigorous interview preparation, counseling on post-interview follow-up, ongoing strategy and counseling, practice with offer negotiation, as well as successful entry strategy.
Support
Our approach is holistic: Throughout the entire process, we provide our clients with market intelligence and offer early intervention and support for any difficult professional and personal issues that may arise as a result of the separation from their employer.
Leveraging Our Contacts
Leading the way in our industry for 25 years, we have built an enviable database of contacts and have focused on developing our alumni and business relationships in the legal, business, and more general professional communities. Our vast network enables us to leverage these connections on behalf or our clients, helping them to identify, pursue and maximize opportunities within law firms, corporations, government agencies, and non-profit organizations, including the university sector. Likewise, such far-reaching relationships benefit those who seek to launch new enterprises, retool, move into other fields, or begin devising their “second act.”
We offer law firms tailored, professional development programs that are career-focused for the benefit of their attorneys.
Our career planning and advisory services are designed to provide attorneys a confidential forum to explore topics such as: career advancement, internal and external profile building, mentor/mentee relationship cultivation, issue and conflict resolution, role or function redesign within their respective firms, or exploration of potential new opportunities.
Customizing our approach to each individual, we regularly coach our clients on business development, leadership and management style, project and time/workload management, conflict resolution, relationship development and cultivation, communication strategy, professional presence, and presentation skills.
