This edition of The Column is bittersweet for us at Special Counsel. It’s the first edition to go to print without the leadership of our friend and colleague, Jodi L. Nadler, Esq. Jodi retired in May and plans to spend time at home with her five-year old daughter and three-year old son. Jodi was one of the original owners of Law Pros, New Jersey’s premier legal placement firm. In 2003, Law Pros was acquired by Special Counsel. Jodi and her partner were considered pioneers in the New Jersey legal staffing business and were one of the few agencies to enjoy long-term success in that market. After the acquisition, Jodi continued with Special Counsel in New Jersey where she successfully assisted countless law firms and corporate legal departments in their recruiting efforts. At that time she also helped launch The Column and worked tirelessly as its editor. Jodi also served as a trainer and mentor to many of Special Counsel’s most successful search consultants nationwide.
Over the years many of Jodi’s clients and candidates have commented on how much they admired her honest approach to this business and respected her unyielding commitment to integrity. She was regarded as a true pleasure to work with by clients, candidates and her colleagues. Exchanges with Jodi always came with a much appreciated dose of light-hearted humor!
As a company, we have benefited incredibly from Jodi’s experience, knowledge and passion for this business and we will miss her greatly. We wish her the best of luck and happiness for the future.
