You Don’t Get What You Don’t Ask For

As attorneys, we’re trained to advocate fiercely—for our clients, our firms, and our cases. But when it comes to our own careers, many of us hesitate to do the same. The truth is simple: you don’t get what you don’t ask for.

That saying isn’t just a cliché—it’s a career principle. If you’re ready for more (or less) responsibility, a better cultural fit, or a move that aligns with your long-term goals, you have to speak up and seek it out. Silence often leads to missed opportunities, stalled growth, or quiet frustration.

At Leatherwood Legal Recruiting, we help attorneys turn those unspoken ambitions into strategic action. We understand that asking for more—more autonomy, flexibility, compensation, or purpose—can feel daunting in the legal world. That’s where we come in.

Our recruiters listen first. We work confidentially to help you communicate your professional needs, match you with the right opportunities, and position you for the success you’ve earned. Because when you’re ready to take that next step, it’s not just about asking—it’s about asking in the right way, to the right people.

You’ve built the experience. You have the skills. Now it’s time to ask for the career you truly want—and let Leatherwood Legal Recruiting help you get it.
