    Why talk to Steven G. Weiler?

    Andrew Meck joined Polsinelli PC's Wilmington office in the Litigation group.

    I highly recommend Steven Weiler to attorneys exploring a lateral move—especially those considering opportunities in Delaware. Steven truly understands the Delaware legal market in a way that few others do. His insight into the nuances of the local firms, practice groups, and professional community was a huge asset throughout the process of my move to Polsinelli. What stands out about Steven was the care he brought to every step of the process. From the beginning, he prioritized getting to know me both professionally and personally—every conversation started with a genuine check-in about life outside of work. That kind of personal connection made all the difference during what can be a stressful and high-stakes time. Steven supported me through every stage—from exploring the opportunity, preparing for interviews, weighing the offer, and ultimately transitioning into my new role. He was never pushy or transactional, and I always felt like he had my best interests in mind. Even after the move, he’s continued to check in and offer support, which speaks volumes about his character. If you're looking for someone who truly understands the Delaware legal landscape and who will guide you through the process with professionalism, thoughtfulness, and care, Steven is someone you’ll want on your team.

    Why talk to Alan Hershkowitz?

    John Puszcz joined Polsinelli PC's New York City office in the Corporate group.

    If you’re looking to make a lateral move, I highly recommend you partner with Alan. Once you get on the phone with him you’ll understand why — he is incredibly knowledgeable about the practices at each firm, the notable players in the market, what to expect during the interviews, etc. It’s because he has placed associates at firms all across the AM Law 100. He is also constantly available and willing to help. I am very impressed by his performance and work ethic. Don’t hesitate—give him a call!
