Greg has been part of the Chicago legal community for over 15 years and has dedicated his career to providing lawyers looking to take their next step the kind of support he wished he’d had as a young attorney. He practiced as a transactional associate at Sidley Austin in Chicago and a corporate associate at Dentons Bingham Greenebaum in Louisville. He then made his own career transition to follow his passion for coaching and mentoring others and served as an Associate Director of Career Services at Loyola University Chicago School of Law, where he counseled students and alumni and taught a course in commercial transactions as an Adjunct Professor. Greg moved from academia to recruiting, spending several years as a top Managing Director with McCormack Schreiber, then as a career coach with Kirkland & Ellis’s award-winning CareerLink program, before rejoining the McCormack Schreiber team. Greg has an eye for talent and an innate sense for cultural fit and draws from his varied professional experiences to offer attorneys individualized support at each stage of their professional careers to help them define and attain their goals. Greg earned his B.A. and J.D. from the Washington University in St. Louis and his LL.M. in Taxation from the NYU School of Law.

Candidate Testimonials
I worked with Nancy Carey on my most recent career move. Nancy approached me about an opportunity and was great to work with throughout the hiring process – from submitting my resume to working through the offer details. Nancy always candidly answered my questions and provided me with as much insight as possible. She is friendly and approachable, so I felt entirely comfortable asking her questions which, in the past, I was uncomfortable asking recruiters. As a big law alum, she is very knowledgeable about the legal industry and what firms prize in candidates. She is a tremendous ally to have in your corner, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her. She is wonderful personally and professionally!

I worked with Nancy to switch roles from a midsize firm in a secondary market to a reputable firm in a large metropolitan area. Nancy is very personable and genuinely cares about her clients. It was her patience and attention to my specific needs that allowed me to find a new position that checked all my boxes. I am thrilled that my new role is not just another job but instead a lasting career and I have Nancy to thank for that.

Being in Chicago, Debbie and her colleagues get it. They know the market and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for in a junior associate. I highly recommend her and the team at McCormack Schreiber for their experience and expertise in legal recruiting.

My experience with McCormack Schreiber proved nothing less than stellar. As a young attorney who felt both unhappy with my current employment and unsuccessful in my efforts seeking new opportunities, I contacted McCormack Schreiber for assistance. Greg Veza shaped my approach to potential opportunities and gave me confidence that I could not only find a new position, but also pivot my practice area. Greg not only custom tailored my resume and effectively prepared me for my interviews, but he also served as an advocate and liaison between me and my new firm until throughout the process. I continue to recommend McCormack Schreiber to my friends who desire change, and strongly believe in its ability to help others accomplish their goals.
