New Advisory Service, Attorneys In Transition, Evolved From Highly Private, Deeply Personal, and Rarely Publicly Spoken Conversations With Senior Attorneys
CHICAGO – May 6, 2026 – Abstone Lalley DeNio, Inc. (ALD, Inc.), an award-winning Minority and Women-owned boutique firm of consultants and strategists, exclusively serving law firms throughout the United States, South America, and Europe, is pleased to announce the launch of its newest service, Attorneys In Transition. Attorneys in Transition is a confidential, customized strategic advisory for senior attorneys who are considering and/or exploring a change within or beyond firm life while remaining engaged, relevant, and purposeful.
Led by Shushan Aleaqui, Chief Executive Transition Advisor, Attorneys In Transition is a sophisticated transition for those whose professional identity has been defined by leadership, responsibility, and service, and who seek a next chapter that reflects the same relevance and intent. While this service is career-focused, it is not traditional executive-level coaching. Ms. Aleaqui uses neuroscience- and quantum-informed frameworks to help leaders accurately read their own patterns, restoring awareness, confidence, and strategic options to create a future shaped by intention rather than obligation.
“Senior attorneys often find themselves at a powerful but complex inflection point—where success has been achieved, yet the path forward is unclear,” said Shushan Aleaqui, Chief Executive Transition Advisor, ALD, Inc. “My work is about restoring clarity and strategic choice so they can evolve their role and identity with intention—preserving what they’ve built while creating what’s next on their own terms.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Shushan on this service that addresses a vital need for senior attorneys who are at a crosspoint,” said Rodney L. Abstone II, Chief Strategy and Mergers and Acquisition Officer, ALD, Inc. “The service she provides through Attorneys In Transition is born out of the conversations I’ve had throughout my career with senior attorneys that are highly private, deeply personal and rarely publicly spoken—offering a discreet, confidential environment where they can thoughtfully examine their assumptions, obligations, and priorities to determine what comes next.”
Ms. Aleaqui draws from more than 30 years of experience working with highly accomplished professionals who feel constrained by the success and responsibility they’ve built. Through this private, customized, focused advisory—designed around an individual’s responsibilities and values—the outcome is a deliberate process of returning to decision-making authority, free choice, and the ability to choose a next chapter with confidence, energy, and control.
