The future of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan appears to be in a flux, with the uncertainty around the strategic direction of the company making it increasingly challenging to recruit partners, according to insiders. One of the many professionals who have recently left the firm, observes that this uncertainty is amplifying the firm’s recruitment difficulties.
In recent times, a string of departures from the firm has marked a worrying trend. Some distinguishable departures include Regina Robbins, the former director of talent acquisition and Jessica Grayson, who served as the managing director of business development and marketing. An unnamed junior business development professional has also left the firm recently, adding to the firm’s growing concerns.
A former employee, Regina Robbins stated, “Joining Stroock, my goal was to focus on partner hiring. We were seeing a lot of success,” she said. “When the information was getting out in the marketplace about the Paul Hastings group and about the merger talks, it was difficult to help the firm find partners and grow.” This reveal sheds further light on the internal issues that may be affecting the firm’s outward growth and development.
