Nashville is the healthcare services capital of the country. Let's find the group at the center of the industry.
From a former BigLaw litigator. I've sat in your chair.
I place healthcare attorneys at AmLaw 100 firms and top boutiques in Nashville. Quietly, and only when the move genuinely makes sense for you.
15 minutes. Completely confidential. Firms pay my fee, never you.
Healthcare ยท Nashville
In Nashville, healthcare is not a practice group. It is the economy.
Nashville is where the healthcare services industry lives, hospital companies, physician practice platforms, behavioral health, and the private equity that consolidates all of it. The legal market grew up around that base, and it runs the full spectrum, transactions, regulatory counseling, reimbursement, and the enforcement defense that follows government money. A healthcare lawyer here works for the industry's headquarters, not its branch offices.
I track which Nashville groups hold the operator and sponsor relationships, which are adding at your level, and how the deal side and regulatory side benches compare. Before you move, I'll tell you plainly where your experience fits in the industry's home market.
Most recruiters have never done your job. I have.
Before I recruited attorneys, I was one, a litigator at Weil Gotshal and Finnegan Henderson. I know what a 2,200 hour year feels like, how partners really size up a lateral, and what it's like to be the one making this call. That's the difference between someone who forwards your resume and someone who fights for your career.
I know how partners read a lateral
Time inside BigLaw means I can tell real transaction and regulatory responsibility from support work, and I know how to frame your healthcare matters so you read as an industry lawyer, not a generalist with exposure.
I won't send you where you don't fit
No blasting your resume across the market. I learn your practice first, then take you to the handful of Nashville groups that genuinely match where you're headed.
Discreet from the first call
What we discuss stays between us. Nothing about you reaches a firm until you tell me yes, for that specific opportunity, in writing.
A simple, confidential process that respects your time.
Three steps, no pressure, and an honest read from someone who has been on your side of the desk.
A quiet first call
Fifteen minutes to understand where you are, where you want to go, and the things you won't compromise on.
A shortlist that fits
A tight set of Nashville healthcare roles matched to your practice and your life, each one with a clear reason it's on the list.
I go to bat for you
I take your story straight to the hiring partner, run point on interviews, prep you for every round, and negotiate the offer.
The Nashville healthcare work I place for.
- Healthcare M&A and private equity transactions for operators and sponsors
- Regulatory counseling on fraud and abuse, Stark, and reimbursement
- Physician practice and behavioral health platform work
- Government investigations and enforcement defense
- The move from a coastal healthcare practice to the industry's home market
It's structure, not effort
Sometimes the bottleneck isn't you. It's deal flow.
If your firm isn't winning the matters in your practice area, there's no work to hand down, no matter how proactive you are. Months of quiet start to read like underperformance when the real problem is structural. A busier platform fixes in weeks what staying can never fix at all. The answer isn't grinding harder. It's the right firm.
Real stories, real career moves.
Hear how attorneys made their next move.
"I didn't think this kind of role was possible for me. It was."
Associate, Appellate (AmLaw Firm)
"Steven understood where I was trying to go and built a path to it I couldn't have found on my own."
Counsel, M&A (AmLaw Firm)
"It felt discreet, thoughtful, and personal. I never once felt sold."
Partner, Elite Litigation (Boutique)
"His read on how to position my experience, prep for interviews, and negotiate the offer was excellent."

Moving isn't disloyalty
Most associates think lateraling is risky. Staying still is riskier.
Firms expect laterals. They don't take it personally. The attorneys who advance fastest aren't the ones who never leave. They're the ones who move when their firm can't support what comes next. Your career isn't built on loyalty. It's built by being deliberate about where you spend your 2,000 billable hours.
Questions you're probably already asking.
Is this actually confidential?
Completely. What we discuss stays between us, and if we move forward your resume doesn't reach anyone until you give me a yes for that specific opportunity, in writing.
Is Nashville healthcare work sophisticated enough to match a coastal practice?
This is the one market where the question runs the other way. The industry is headquartered here, so the mandates originate here, and coastal offices often service what Nashville sources. If healthcare is your specialty, this is the center. I'll tell you which groups sit closest to it.
How do you get paid?
Firms pay my fee, not you. There's no cost to you at any point in the process.
Do I need to be actively looking to reach out?
No. Most attorneys I work with are exploring, not decided. A conversation costs you nothing and tells you a lot.
Do you only work with Big Law, or boutiques too?
Both. Nashville has a strong bench of specialist healthcare boutiques alongside the big flagship practices. The right answer depends on the work and the life you want, and I'll help you compare them honestly.
Why work with you instead of another recruiter?
I practiced in BigLaw for six years before I switched to recruiting. I don't just know the market, I know what it's like to sit in your chair. I won't waste your time with roles that don't make sense, and I'll be straight with you about what's realistic.
About Steven
Before I recruited attorneys, I was one. Six years in BigLaw gave me a perspective most recruiters don't have. I know how partners weigh a lateral, how firms think about fit, and what it actually feels like to be the one making this decision.
Nine years and hundreds of placements later, I do one thing: help attorneys who've outgrown where they are find the right next role. Associates, counsel, and partners at AmLaw 100 firms and top boutiques. You set the pace, I keep everything quiet, and I stay focused on what's right for you.
"He introduced me directly to people who were relevant to my experience. I ended up with options that made sense for where I'm going."
The next move starts with one conversation.
