Frederick Shelton
PRESIDENT
AREAS OF FOCUS
For over 25 years, Frederick has coordinated the lateral moves of associates, partners, groups, and law firm mergers & acquisitions.
His approach is simple: The best interests of the candidate(s) comes before all else, including the law firms who pay our fees.
He guides the most elite legal professionals in the world, through strategically advantageous, lateral moves and acquisitions.
Frederick and his team of recruiters, researchers, analysts and due diligence experts provide comprehensive, real-time data to the most successful lawyers in the world.
PPP's, Hiring vs Attrition Rates, Attorneys in Your Practice Area, Marketing and Other Support are examples of the data provided to candidates before their information is shared with a firm.
Frederick and his team make sure there are clearly defined advantages for his attorneys, in both the short and long term.
The result of this corporate philosophy is that in over 25 years, only four attorneys weren't where S&S placed, them, two years after their start date. We do not know of any other firm that has that measured, success rate.
Frederick is also a Legal Business & Rainmaking Consultant. His programs and strategies come from over 20 years of debriefing partners with significant books of business, as to how they built those books. He has recorded and sorted this data, in order to develop bespoke, individual marketing programs for high-end attorneys.
His guarantee for individual attorney consulting and law firm webinars is simple: If a client isn't absolutely certain they've gotten overwhelming value within the first 30 minutes, the full retainer is refunded, no questions asked.
No one has ever requested a refund.

OFF THE CLOCK

“All ships rise with the tide. We shall not endeavor to have the largest ship. We are the tide.”
Shelton & Steele donates a portion of every dollar received, to homeless shelters, and also donates $5,000 to homeless shelters in the name of anyone who refers business to the firm.
