Our Candidate Services
Career Assessment
McKim Consulting Group can help you take a clear-eyed look at your current career path. We serve as an independent sounding board as you evaluate whether a transition is the best next step or whether renewed fulfillment may be possible through targeted adjustments to your current role, platform, practice mix, or long-term goals.
Resume/Document Review
All lawyers, whether actively seeking a new opportunity or simply staying prepared, are well-served by having an up-to-date resume, representative matters list, or detailed professional bio at the ready. We can assist with updating, reviewing, or drafting a polished career presentation for potential employers and other professional audiences.
Market Exploration
If a career transition is your goal, we can help you evaluate your marketability across law firms, in-house legal departments, government roles, and other legal employers. We work with you to identify opportunities that align with your experience, practice goals, compensation expectations, culture preferences, and long-term career objectives.
Business Plan and Questionnaires
The lateral lawyer recruiting process often involves detailed business plans and questionnaires addressing financial metrics, conflicts of interest, client relationships, representative matters, and character and fitness considerations. We help candidates navigate this demanding part of the process thoughtfully and efficiently, so the search remains organized, responsive, and moving forward.
