Emma Skowron joined Greenberg Traurig’s District of Columbia office in the Corporate group.
I would highly recommend Steven to anyone contemplating a lateral move. Steven went above and beyond throughout the entirety of my lateraling process. He made it clear from the beginning he wanted to support my long-term goals and followed through on that every step of the way. He is consistently responsive, honest and insightful. I particularly appreciated his thoughtful advice as I navigated moving cities, getting application materials together, interviewing and ultimately accepting an offer. He made what could have been a very stressful time exponentially better. He is incredibly knowledgable and has continued to provide support as I have transitioned to my new role. It is evident Steven takes the time to get to know the candidates he works with personally and has your best interests in mind always. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Steven. If you are thinking about making a lateral move, Steven is an incredible resource and advocate for everyone he works with.
