Recruiter activity

Priya Gulati

Pacific Legal Search

Manda McElrath joined Baker McKenzie in Palo Alto

Priya is absolutely amazing, and I am so happy I chose her as the recruiter to work with throughout my lateral move. Priya played a key role in helping me successfully transition from a regional, mid-sized firm to Big Law, offering thoughtful guidance, candid advice, and constant support (even when she was technically on vacation). From coordinating a barrage of interviews to offering a kind ear when things got overwhelming, she was incredibly helpful, reliable, and truly went the extra mile at every stage of the process.

Jenny Swan Clearman

Swan Legal Search

Emily C. joined Baker McKenzie in Silicon Valley

I cannot recommend Jenny enough. I had the pleasure of working with her during my recent job search. From our first conversation, it was clear that Jenny stood out from other recruiters I had met. She carefully listened to my career goals, and she only presented opportunities that aligned well with my needs. Jenny was incredibly supportive throughout my job search process, offering her resources, industry knowledge, and personalized guidance. I really appreciated her attention to detail, care, and patience, and I’m grateful for her help in bringing me to the next stage in my career.

Kate Reder Sheikh

Major, Lindsey & Africa

Taylor Todd joined Baker McKenzie in San Francisco

Kate reached out to me initially on a position I ultimately decided not to apply for, but we continued to stay in touch. I waffled on whether to make a move for several months. Kate was a sounding board for what other possibilities there were and helped me drill down on what was important in my next role. She was great about returning texts, emails, and calls, and she would get in contact immediately if she saw something she believed would be a good fit. Kate also helped me prepare for interviews and put my best foot forward. Once the offer came she gave an honest assessment on what was worth negotiating and how to do it— a huge value add for someone who is early in their career. Kate spent months talking with me before we found the right thing. She isn’t transactional, but rather invested in individuals she sees potential in and truly wants the right fit for them. Especially as someone young, first gen, and of the COVID law school generation navigating the challenging legal market, having someone to prep you and give the extra edge in interviews took a lot of stress out of the process and allowed me to focus on fit. Kate’s knowledge of different teams and working styles also helped me to feel confident in my decision to move after landing the offer. I couldn’t recommend her more!
