We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome Montserrat Alvarenga to the McClure Harrison family!
I am thrilled to announce that I have made a career transition into legal recruiting at McClure Harrison Inc. As some of my law school classmates have reminded me since sharing the happy news, “it’s as we always planned.” It is a real privilege to be doing work that brings me joy alongside an incredible team of diverse women with JD and Big Law backgrounds themselves. Their mentorship, career insights, and comradery have already felt like a beacon in a world that can so often feel lonely and competitive. I’m posting for a few reasons: 1. Encouragement for Career Transitions: I want to remind everyone in my network that taking a career leap does not need to feel scary or daunting. With the right support team, a transition can be a welcome change that opens new opportunities for personal and professional growth. Whether driven by evolving goals, lifestyle considerations, or curiosity about new achievements, now might be the time for adjustments. 2. Important Considerations: When contemplating a new venture, several factors are crucial to consider. These include your graduation year (2021 JDs are particularly in demand), market demand for your practice area, relocation potential for those considering life changes, and interest in pivoting into high-growth sectors. 3. Plain and Simple Shmoozing: Transparently, I hope you'll consider me for your next career search. At McClure Harrison, we collaborate with a variety of firms across the U.S., with a specialized focus on AmLaw 100 and 200 firms in D.C., New York, Chicago, Texas, and California. The lateral associate market has picked up over the last few months and firms are offering competitive compensation packages, including signing bonuses and guaranteed year-end bonuses. Whether you're actively searching, open to exploring opportunities, or simply curious about the process, I am here to help! Consider this my prodigious return to being Chronically Online™. Stay tuned for more posts as I lay the groundwork for my next career as a LinkedIn influencer 😉 Feel free to reach out to me here or via email at MAlvarenga@McClureHarrison.com. Warm hugs,
