Co-Founder
Neil Handwerker is the Co-Founder of Ex Judicata, the world's only comprehensive employment platform dedicated to helping lawyers transition from legal practice to fulfilling nonlegal careers. After earning his JD, Neil briefly practiced law before recognizing it wasn't the right fit and pivoting to a career in business. That firsthand experience became the foundation of his mission. He co-founded Fulcrum Information Services, which grew into a market leader in management education for outside counsel, in-house lawyers, and C-suite executives. Neil later became a seasoned legal recruiter before launching Ex Judicata in 2022 alongside his long-time business partner Kimberly Fine. With over 75 years of combined industry experience between the two founders, Neil brings deep expertise in legal recruiting, career transitions, and platform building to every aspect of the company.
