Michael S. Stein Named as a Finalist for Office Managing Partner of the Year by the New Jersey Law Journal
Pashman Stein Walder Hayden P.C. is proud to announce that Michael S. Stein, the firm’s Managing Partner, was named as a Finalist for Office Managing Partner of the Year by the New Jersey Law Journal.
“Mike’s belief that lawyers have a responsibility to give back has also shaped the trajectory of the firm and our lawyers,” said Sean Mack, co-chair of the firm's Litigation practice and chair of the firm’s Cannabis & Hemp practice. “When Mike pitched the idea of creating a public interest center, notwithstanding the firm’s significant financial investment, it was an easy decision for the partners because everyone who joined the firm also subscribed to, and was inspired by, Mike’s premise of ‘doing good while doing well.’ His ability to balance the business of the firm with the needs of our employees ensures that the firm continually adapts, while never losing sight of the culture that remains a key element in attracting our lawyers.”
“Mike’s collaborative approach ensures that all viewpoints are considered. He puts great thought into every decision, always putting himself in other’s shoes to understand the effect of the decision and even losing sleep over the more difficult ones. Whatever the issue – whether personnel, hiring, expansion, or client-related – Mike sweats it as if it were his own. He speaks often of creating an institution that endures- one that is the gold standard of what a law firm should be. It is not his ego that drives our firm and culture, but his genuine passion for inspiring others and doing right by our employees, clients, and the community, regardless of the cost,” said Mack.
A Chambers-ranked attorney for over a decade, Stein’s reputation for excellence is well known throughout the legal community, particularly in general commercial litigation, chancery litigation, legal ethics, and appellate advocacy. He has been recognized by Best Lawyers for Commercial Litigation, 2013-2025, as well as New Jersey Super Lawyers, 2012-2024.
The honorees will be recognized at the New Jersey Law Journal’s gala, scheduled for October 29, 2024. The announcement of the awards by the New Jersey Law Journal can be found here.
