David Hien Lien joined
Baker Botts’s Palo Alto office in the Intellectual Property group.
Ed is a fantastic recruiter and different from the rest. Instead of simply blasting openings in the industry looking for people of my class year and background, Ed listened to the specific particulars of what I was looking for in my next opportunity. As a result we collaborated on a select number of firms and Ed eventually helped me land my current role. I'm extremely happy here and it's as a result of Ed's efforts throughout the entire process. Ed is professional and cool under pressure at the same time; we were able to make this a fun and exciting journey. I'd highly recommend (and have recommended) Ed to anyone looking for the next stop in their legal journey!

Major, Lindsey & Africa
Ryan Kidman joined Kirkland’s San Francisco office in the Corporate group.
I cannot recommend Kate highly enough. She knows the Bay Area market intimately and is able to leverage that knowledge to give actionable, tailored advice (down to the specific interviewer). Kate is a true counselor and advisor and it was a privilege to work with her.

Pacific Legal Search
Claire (Hutar) Drucker joined Latham’s San Diego office in the Corporate group.
I highly recommend working with Priya. She was incredibly helpful at each point of the lateral process. We first spoke before I was ready to make the move and I was impressed by her knowledge of my targeted market (San Diego). I really appreciated that she moved at my pace and never pressured me to start applying before I was ready. When the time was right, Priya was invaluable with resume clean-up and interview prep. I interviewed at a particularly busy time and Priya made the process so easy. I can't recommend her enough!

Lateral Link
Amber Harezlak, JD, PhD joined
MoFo’s San Francisco office in the Intellectual Property group.
Summer was both a great resource and strong advocate for me as I was going through the process of changing jobs. What really drew me to Summer was her willingness to get to know me over a long period of time and bring appropriate opportunities to my attention. Because she knew my background and what I was looking for, she was able to be that much more effective when I was ready to make a move in my career. If that isn’t enough, Summer was also able to share valuable insights as I navigated the interviewing process - both with respect to what was happening in the industry overall and how I was performing personally. Her knowledge and experience were important keys to my success.

Goodwin’s San Francisco office in the Corporate group.
Ren was great to work with. I was under no pressure to leave my prior firm and relatively new to the process, and Ren tailored his approach to my situation and worked with me to find the best opportunities. From our first conversation, he was proactive, invested and diligent in keeping things moving across the board. From market knowledge to interview advice, his insights and experience proved very helpful and contributed to a smooth and straightforward transition. I’m very grateful to Ren for his role in the process.

Dale has been fantastic to work with. Dale and his team were extremely well versed and networked with various firms and their practice groups. Most importantly, Dale truly cares about finding the right fit and facilitating a smooth/enjoyable transition. I would recommend Dale to any colleague and I’m so glad to have had his expertise and help.

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.

I highly recommend Andrea as a legal recruiter. She helped me land my dream job, and was so helpful every step of the process. She perfected my resume, prepared me well for interviews, debriefed, and advocated for me when it came to highly competitive roles. She has great connections with so many law firms and is knowledgeable about unique positions and opportunities that are one of a kind. Thank you so much Andrea!!

Michael Behlen PhD joined
Eversheds Sutherland’s San Francisco office in the Intellectual Property group.
Due to a downturn in my industry, I found myself needing to make a lateral move as a first-year associate. Other recruiters told me that this was a tall order, but Khurram recognized my unique skillset and told me that he was up to the task. I had a new position, with a signing bonus, within a couple of months. Thanks Khurram!

Diamond Personnel
Kyoko Makino joined
Faegre’s Los Angeles office in the Intellectual Property group.
Lavinia is a great recruiter to work with. She tried to understand my needs and was patient while working with me as it took us several months before she could find me the firm that suites my needs the best. I couldn’t have asked her to find me the better place to work for. I’m very happy with the transition and the hard work she provided. I highly recommend working with her.

Saurabh Prabhakar joined
OMM’s San Francisco office in the Intellectual Property group.
Alan is not just a recruiter to me but my trusted confidant and friend. Alan has worked with me on two lateral moves and each time he had my complete trust. Alan earned my trust by demonstrating that he was listening to me--something I value highly. When I was planning my first lateral move, other recruiters tried to sell me what they had and not what I wanted from my next firm. But Alan provided me with options that fit my requirements. Alan is also dependable. Besides the big things like interview prep and offer negotiation, Alan kept his commitment in even the most routine but important things, like keeping me informed, calling at the scheduled time, and providing me with detailed data to help me with my decisions. Alan candidly discussed the options I had and was never pushy. Advice he gave me about my options was consistent with the advice I got from several seasoned lawyers. Finally, at offer time, Alan zealously advocated for the requests that I had for my future employers. So when I thought about another lateral move, Alan was my first and only call. For all these reasons, I highly recommend Alan to attorneys looking for a lateral opportunity.

Coast to Coast Legal Search
Megan Schmenk Manek joined
Troutman’s Orange County office in the Corporate group.
Max helped me find my current position at my firm. He went above and beyond what a lot of bigger recruiting firms do by reaching out to local contacts at firms who were not actively soliciting associates in order to help me find something that was a good fit when I wanted to move cities. Not only was Max extremely helpful in identifying prospective positions, he also helped coach me through the process once I was applying for positions. I would highly recommend Max’s services!

Sterling Clark Group
Stephanie Onyekwere joined Cooley’s San Francisco office in the Technology Transactions group.
When Vijay first made contact with me, I was hesitant to use a legal recruiter for my lateral move, and I was not sure if I was ready to leave my firm. Vijay met me where I was at in my decision-making process and offered a lot of advice and options for me to consider. I was very impressed with Vijay’s communication throughout the process and how respectful he was in getting my approval before taking certain actions and also how proactive he was with getting my resume in front of different firms and getting the best offers for me. Throughout the process I felt like Vijay wanted to make sure I found a place that was a good fit for me. We had many conversations about what I wanted and how I felt about certain things and he used those conversations to help me navigate my decisions once the offers started rolling in. I highly recommend using Vijay for a career move!

Long Ridge Partners
Conor O'Hanlon joined
Ashurst Perkins Coie’s Silicon Valley office in the Data Privacy group.
Evan assisted me in my placement with a new firm, which was a transfer into a relatively niche and specialist area of law. I was very impressed by his knowledge of the industry, his diligence and patience with various requests and his overall ability to recognize and understand what was ultimately the best fit for me. Evan is an excellent recruiter, and one I would gladly recommend to anyone.
