2+ PQET.J. Miller joined DLA Piper in Chicago
One thing that really stood out to me was Andrew sending me an opportunity even though it didn’t allow recruiter submissions. That told me he genuinely cared more about helping me find the right opportunity than just getting credit for a placement and I really respected that. Highly recommend!
Patti Burris joined DLA Piper in Boston
When I engaged Khurram and Freshwater Counsel, I came in with a very short target list of firms in a challenging market, and they helped me secure competing offers from that list. I understand from friends’ lateral experiences that such precision is rare in the lateral market. What impressed me most was how skillfully Khurram managed the negotiation phase. Salary, bonus, and timing are always sensitive issues, and it can be a challenge to advocate for yourself without souring the relationship with a future employer before you even start. Khurram handled these conversations with exactly the right balance of persistence and diplomacy, ensuring I landed on terms that reflected my priorities while leaving the firms genuinely excited to bring me on board. I cannot recommend Freshwater Counsel highly enough to anyone looking to make a thoughtful, strategic lateral move in big law. Khurram, Jared and the Freshwater team make a daunting process feel targeted, efficient, and ultimately successful.
James Ring joined DLA Piper in Raleigh
I connected with Ren through the recommendation of a law school friend whom he had successfully helped with a lateral move to another law firm. I, too, highly recommend Ren to any attorney considering a lateral transition. As many attorneys know, there is no shortage of legal recruiters, and it can be difficult to determine which ones are genuinely invested in their candidates’ success. Ren is unquestionably one of the best. He is thoughtful and intentional in developing a tailored plan of action, and equally effective in helping to execute it. His knowledge of the BigLaw landscape is second to none, and that expertise gave me great confidence in entrusting him with my search. Just as importantly, he is an absolute pleasure to work with — professional, kind, and genuinely supportive throughout the process.
Roxanne M. Eastes joined DLA Piper in Wilmington
I would confidently recommend Steven to any attorney that wishes to make a lateral move. Steven is extremely knowledgeable about the legal markets he works in (in my case it was Delaware) and he had valuable insights on the hiring process. He helped me prep for interviews and he gladly answered all of my questions, big and small. What I appreciated most about Steven, however, was that he took time to get to know me and understand my unique career and life goals. I never felt pressured to accept an interview and never felt that he pushed me in a direction I wasn’t comfortable with. Steven also took time to check in with me regularly during the process and provided extra support during my transition from one firm to the other. A lateral move is a scary time for any attorney, and I am so grateful I had Steven to guide me through the process! I highly, highly recommend him!
Lauren Bernstein (Jacobson) joined DLA Piper in New York City
10/10 highly recommend Evan! He did a great job prepping me for interviews and helped me negotiate my offer. He’s also incredibly connected and was able to bring me several potential roles.
Brandon Friedman joined DLA Piper in Miami
Jack is a great recruiter who is able to make the process as smooth as possible for the candidate. He handled everything from communicating with the firms to making my interview schedule. I highly recommend Jack's services as a recruiter.
Nadia B. Saleem joined DLA Piper in Los Angeles
Priya was a dream to work with when I was looking to transition firms. She was incredibly responsive, keeping me updated on applications without my having to follow up; she was attentive in ensuring that any firms I submitted to would be a good fit for me; and she took time to help me prepare for all of my interviews to ensure that I was set up for success. In the end, she was able to help me find a position in a new geographic location in less time than I expected, despite a weak market for my practice area. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a new position.
Bill Van Decker joined DLA Piper in New York City
Jessica placed me in my current position at DLA Piper. She made the job search easy. Jessica is very professional and responsive. I highly recommend working with her in the future.
Sean Robinson joined DLA Piper in District of Columbia
A chain of work colleagues put me in touch with Susan when I wanted to transition to a new position. Susan was extremely transparent about her process and asked for my explicit permission before contacting firms on my behalf, which gave me the chance to research firms and decide whether I felt the fit was right. Susan helped me learn information about firms and helped me practice my interview skills so I went into an interview confident and armed with knowledge that immediately struck a chord with the people who interviewed me. She never gave up on me, even when I got discouraged. I got a great job with DLA Piper thanks to Susan's hard work, and I'm extremely happy!
