“Forward thinking. Smart. Dedicated. Organized. These are just a few words that we would use to describe Jan. We retained Jan as our interim Managing Director and to assist us in our search for a new Managing Director. Through her leadership and her ability to understand our business, Jan was successful in finding the right candidate for our firm and helping us transition our firm to the new Managing Director. While working as our interim Managing Director Jan took the time to understand our practice and our office culture before she developed the profile which would help us find the right ‘fit’ for our firm. Her attention to detail and her relentless work ethic are second to none. Jan continues to assist us with our recruiting needs and has become our first phone call when we are looking to add to our team.”

"Jan’s experience and expertise were invaluable to me when I was setting up my sole-practitioner law firm. She offered practical, hands-on advice that was easy to implement; not theoretical, high level concepts. Starting my own firm would have been much more difficult without her assistance."

Cesar Carranza - Client Care Manager, Campisi LLP
"Jan came in at a time when a former firm I was with was experiencing significant growth. Prior to her arrival, the partners were playing the dual role of revenue generating lawyers, as well as business managers. Jan provided leadership and instilled great confidence in the lawyers and staff that all needs were being addressed. In a short time, Jan was successful in identifying and implementing changes that were critical to sustaining the Firm's growth. She provided prompt, professional and individualized attention to all. Knowing that Jan was taking care of the business issues enabled the Firm to return to doing what we do best; practising law."
