Way to go, Josh!

 

Nothing makes us happier than hearing that we had a hand in helping elevate a talented, hardworking lawyer’s career. “This is from a (now) partner who was in a counsel role at a big law firm in Chicago that was incredibly undervalued by his firm. I helped him into a partner role at a mid-size client and got him a substantial raise (+200K).” Way to go, Josh!
