Hope the heat of summer hasn't gotten to you yet. I am reaching out to my LinkedIn connections to elicit assistance on a search I was just engaged on. My New Jersey client, a prominent law firm, is seeking a new Director of Information Technology.
This is working for one of the best firms to work for with an excellent team. It will require that the person be "hands on" as well as a strong supervisor. Their preference would be someone from a law firm. If I can help you in any way, please be in touch.
