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.
