Carter-White
& Shaw is a black-owned and operated diverse attorney
legal search firm located in Chestertown, Maryland. We
specialize in recruiting a diverse pool of excellent attorneys
for law firms and corporate legal departments nationwide. We
also facilitate law firm mergers and acquisitions of law firm
practice groups.
Carter-White
& Shaw has been in business since 1991 to serve what was
and still is an underserved market in legal recruiting:
attorneys of color, women attorneys,
gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender attorneys, and disabled
attorneys who are seeking employers that value diversity and
appreciate their talents. Until recently, our firm focused
solely on the placement of law firms partners. We have
never had to advertise, as satisfied candidates and clients
have spread the word of our ability to place excellent
attorneys with diversity-conscious employers. The attorneys we
have placed, their reputation for excellence, and our
reputation as a result of having placed them have been the
foundation of Carter-White & Shaw's continued
success.
Over the last
year, Mr. Jordan and the firm, facilitated the largest
placement of diverse attorneys of color ever in the history of
the legal search business. In 2005, Mr. Jordan, brought
together the largest contingent of diverse Partners to one law
firm (Mintz Levin). This total placement was 15 attorneys
which included seven senior attorneys and eight associate
attorneys of color. 90% of the attorneys were African-American
and 10% were Latino-American, including the former Chairman of
the EEOC under the Clinton Administration.
Our
mission is two-fold: To be the leader in the discovery and
promotion of diverse legal talent; and to meet or exceed the
expectations of our candidates and clients in the rapidly
changing and increasingly competitive global legal community.
We have already succeeded in accomplishing much of our
mission--our stream of referrals from former candidates and
clients is a testament to our ability to meet or exceed
diversity placement expectations.
At Carter-White
& Shaw, we understand the strength of
diversity. |
