The NIMBLE• Story
The genesis of NIMBLE• was fueled by the desire to educate and empower associate attorneys and law students. Countless voices, both named and unnamed, have contributed to the content of NIMBLE•, with the common desire to ‘pay it forward.’ They represent different market segments, and include judges, professors, managing partners, recruiting directors, consultants, your peers, and more.
Information within is a compilation of twenty years of consulting experience, thousands of conversations, and the expertise and wisdom from our Advisory Board and focus group. Inspired to bring these conversations to you, Andie Viele created NIMBLE•.
If knowledge is power, NIMBLE• is where that power leads to a career and life of fulfillment and satisfaction. A clearer path awaits so you can truly be NIMBLE•!
