Partners
With legal industry consolidation and stratification occurring at an increasing pace, it is crucial to have a trusted advisor who understands market conditions and who can assess and advise as to how they may impact you.
Steve Stone, principal of Stone Search Partners, regularly counsels law firm partners on matters related to market insight, strategic planning and maximizing the value of their practices.
Steve also works closely with partners on the complex and delicate process of moving one’s practice to a new platform. His comprehensive approach is rooted in his understanding of the different stakeholders involved, their individual motivations, and the ways that this interplay affects the process. Steve is a certified coach through the International Coach Federation (ICF) and this experience makes him particularly adept at both serving as a trusted advisor to partners and evaluating cultural and business fit between partners and potential platforms.
