Recruiter activity

Kate Reder Sheikh

Major, Lindsey & Africa

Parth Bhatt joined Cooley LLP in San Francisco

Working with Kate was a game-changer in my job search. She really took the time to understand what I was looking for and helped me land my top-choice role. Kate’s deep knowledge of the Bay Area legal market, combined with the strong network and trust she’s built over the years, makes her an amazing resource. She gave me tailored advice, helped me prepare for every step of the process, and always had my best interests at heart. Thanks to Kate, I found a position that’s a perfect fit for me. I highly recommend her to anyone navigating the legal job market in the Bay Area!

Ed Hossain

Long Ridge Partners

Michael Pelle joined Cooley LLP in New York City

Ed went above and beyond to help me land the exact lateral position I wanted. He was able to get my initial questions answered on a no-names basis, and was a constant source of support once the interview process was underway (and was very responsive to calls or texts, even on weekends or while traveling). His resume help, from formatting to curating my deal sheet, was the best I’ve ever received. I was surprised (and grateful) at how closely he reviewed every detail, and it’s a testament to how much he cares about his applicants. In short, Ed was a true partner in the lateral process, and was at all times honest, smart, and genuinely fun to work with.

Priya Gulati

Pacific Legal Search

Thilini Chandrasekera joined Cooley LLP in San Francisco

It was a pleasure to work with Priya during my job search. Priya is organized, efficient, responsive, and knowledgeable about the job market. She did everything possible to make the search process as painless as possible while ensuring that my goals were centered and met. I have already recommended Priya within my network, and would do so again without hesitation.

Allison is one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with - she is super hardworking, on top of it no matter what, and very helpful with interview prep / industry knowledge. It was great working with her!

Priya Gulati

Pacific Legal Search

Priya Patel joined Cooley LLP in California

If you are looking to work with a legal recruiter, don’t hesitate, choose Priya!! Priya helped me throughout every step of the lateral process from resume clean-up to interview prep. With her help, I was able to quickly and successfully lateral from DC to California. I cannot recommend her enough.

Kate Reder Sheikh

Major, Lindsey & Africa

Justin Kisner joined Cooley LLP in San Diego

Kate is incredibly thoughtful, engaging, and candidate-centric with her approach driven by your short- and long-term career goals as well as your personal/family considerations. What sets Kate apart, among many other things, is her absolute candor and her willingness to take time to understand your current career/personal dynamics and, most importantly, what you value in your next step. In doing so, Kate establishes trust as the foundation upon which you’ll work together to develop a plan, consider different options and perspectives, and talk through all the what-ifs. Above all, I most admire Kate’s unwillingness to compromise on her candidate-centric approach. Rather than assumptions and predetermined judgments, Kate listens intently then leverages her immense experience and network while advocating fiercely on your behalf. I highly recommend Kate to anyone considering a transition or seeking career advice. Not to mention, Kate has become a good friend! She’s fantastic all-around.

Most importantly, Kate is super responsive and is always around to listen and answer any questions, no matter how small. I felt that I could always count on her for advice and guidance throughout the process.
