Christopher J. Lee joined Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP in San Francisco
Kate knows the Bay Area biglaw market like the back of her hand. She offers invaluable help with resumes and cover letters, submitting applications, and most crucially, giving firsthand intel—tailored to specific firms—on how to successfully navigate the lateral interview process, thanks to her expansive network that she has built up over the years. She catches on very quickly to what her candidates are looking for in their search and remembers even the smallest details when making recommendations on which firms to apply to. She advocates tirelessly for her candidates and affirmatively offers updates on the process without the need for a follow-up. There’s no better person to have in your corner as a recruiter and as someone to brainstorm ideas with. Finally, she is kind, a great listener, and treats her candidates like real human beings. I could not have imagined a more streamlined lateral process, in large part thanks to Kate’s passion for her job and many years of experience. She should be the go-to for any lawyer looking to lateral or break into the Bay Area market.
