If you are looking to make a lateral move, or even just thinking about it, you need to speak with Susan. When you work with Susan, you don’t simply get a recruiter—you get a consultant, a mentor, a counselor, and a friend. Susan’s knowledge of the legal market knows no limits, and she has expertise that can only be acquired from years of being at the top of her field. Moreover, Susan is an absolute delight to work with, and her positivity and enthusiasm make the process enjoyable! From my first phone call with Susan, it was clear that she is in a class all her own. Susan took the time to discuss my background, listen to my priorities and career goals, and get to know me as a person. I am a regulatory health attorney, and my practice area is very specific. Susan never pushed me toward a role for the sake of it—instead, Susan sought my input to make sure that we focused on my exact area of health law. Susan is 100% invested in her candidates, and it shows. She coached me through each step, from perfecting my resume to rigorously preparing me for every single interview. Susan's dedication to her candidates goes above and beyond professional guidance and mentorship—she always made time for me, no matter how seemingly minor my question might have been, and she remained engaged and accessible throughout the process. Thanks to Susan, I am in the perfect role. I am grateful that Susan was my recruiter and legal placement consultant, and I am even more fortunate to call her my mentor and friend. I cannot recommend Susan highly enough!

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 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.

Vijay was an invaluable teammate throughout my lateral process. From the start, Vijay displayed an impressive knowledge about both the larger legal marketplace as well as the nuances and intricacies pertaining to each target firm. His years of experience as both a practicing attorney and legal recruiter provide him with tremendous familiarity within the legal field. Vijay was exceptionally organized. From the beginning stages, he crafted a strategy and roadmap that helped alleviate the stresses that come with finding a new position. He aided me in brushing up on my interview skills, what questions to be prepared for, and how best to present my skillset. Throughout the entire process, Vijay was very candid and transparent in his thoughts and ideas for the best route forward. Vijay was quick to respond and seemingly always available for a chat. I never felt out of the loop or unsure about the next step. I would highly recommend Vijay if you are looking for any type of position in the legal field!
