Who are Bryce Legal’s Clients?
-
Our boutique practice specializes in legal resumes. The vast majority of our clients are lawyers—whether recent law school graduates, or attorneys with years of experience and large books of business. Our clients have careers in a variety of settings—law firms of all sizes, government, academia, corporations, regulated businesses, and nonprofits. Some practice law, others have quasi-legal positions. We also help other legal professionals, such as law librarians, law office managers, paralegals, legal assistants, and legal secretaries.

Our clients understand that no job search can be successful unless they drive its progress.
Sometimes, job hunters want their resumes and career services to come with guarantees of success. But our clients know that success requires their hard work too. Professionally written career documents and professional career advice are tools of success, not guarantees of success. Why? Just like in legal practice, outcomes in legal hiring cannot be guaranteed. As lawyers, Model Rule of Professional Conduct 7.1 and the comments thereto remind us that individual results depend upon individual circumstances. Bryce Legal’s clients understand that many of the circumstances that will ultimately lead to success are within their control. Even the most compelling attorney resume will not substitute for short-term strategies like actively researching opportunities and preparing for interviews, and long-term strategies like increasing technical skill, gaining experience applicable to target goals, and building a professional network. Even the best attorney resume cannot be effective if it is sent to the wrong employers, for the wrong positions, in the wrong format, or not sent out at all. So we don’t offer halfhearted guarantees gutted by conditions. At Bryce Legal, we offer you the tools to be successful and teach you how to use them.

Our clients understand that professionally written resume career documents and professional career advice are investments.
The creation of these custom-designed, targeted documents takes many hours of work and requires collaboration with clients. We bring to the table years of experience in law practice, legal hiring, resume writing, and career advising. We also adhere to scheduled meetings in order to give our clients the undivided attention they deserve. Even so, for most clients, the cost of this investment is about the same as an iPad® or a designer handbag. If you find employment just one week sooner than you otherwise would have, then you have already made back your investment. If you get a job two weeks earlier, then this is one of the best investments you have ever made. Can you say the same about your iPad or handbag? -
Our clients understand the difference between price and value, and know when to bring in experts.
“Do It Yourself” is not always the best option. It’s not even always the cheapest option. Let’s do some simple math. Consider how much an attorney with an annual salary of $52,000 loses each week he is unemployed. Let’s say that attorney is using a self-written resume. Every week he is not working, that self-written resume costs him $1,000 in lost income. Every week. In six months, that self-written resume has cost him $26,000. If that same attorney uses a professionally written resume that generates phone calls and interviews, and he secures employment at his customary salary in half the time… then that professionally written resume has saved him $12,000 in lost income. (And professional resume services may be tax deductible!) -
Our clients value their time and understand opportunity cost.
Time you spend learning how to write and format a resume, learning about branding statements and keywords, learning what legal recruiters and employers like and don’t like, learning how to position yourself and your experience to appeal to employers… all those hours are taken away from the things you do best. We’ve already invested those hours. Let us produce a better product, in less time, and with less frustration for you. -
Our clients are ready to move forward.
Bryce Legal’s clients are serious about their employment opportunities and career development, and understand the critical role career documents and advising play. If you are ready to move forward, please contact us.
Most of our clients are referred by past and current clients, hiring attorneys, legal recruiters, and other resume writers and career industry professionals.
No matter who they are or how they find us, our clients have a few things in common:
