"I already knew Steve Skills and what you stand for. I was at a crossroads in my career and had decided I wanted to take a new step. I was working as a lawyer but had made up my mind that I wanted to leave the bar. What I was looking for was not a radical break with the law, but an environment where I could refocus on what genuinely energises me: substantively strong case work, with sufficient complexity and less emphasis on courtroom work.

From the very first conversation with Cédric, the approach stood out. There was no pushing, just listening. Cédric was professional, straightforward and informative, and immediately understood what I was looking for: cases with the right level of complexity, a firm culture that matches my way of working, and sufficient room to grow. Through targeted questions, it quickly became clear what gave me energy and, equally important, what drained it.

On that basis, a niche firm specialising in family and family wealth law was put forward, one where that balance was right. From the first meeting, the connection was there, both on a substantive and personal level. The way of working matched perfectly with how I like to approach files: thorough, content-driven and with room for depth. What convinced me was that the elements that had made me doubt my previous context were simply not present here.

The guidance and advice from Steve Skills gave me the confidence to take this step deliberately. They broadened my perspective and followed the process closely. Today I work in a firm with engaging files, a collegial atmosphere and room to grow, where I feel completely at home. Looking back, this was not a step away from the legal profession, but a considered step towards a context that suits me better.

I wholeheartedly recommend Steve Skills as a sparring partner and career adviser."
