Associate, M&A

Kate is one of the best recruiters out there! She is extremely knowledgeable about the SF legal market and completely upfront about what is realistic based on the current market and your experience. I would highly recommend working with her!

I highly recommend Evan. I worked with Evan for nearly 3 years as an associate, and then counsel, at my prior firm. Evan was a consummate professional, always available and a real asset to me in my career search. At every juncture, it always felt like Evan had my best interests at heart, even as I decided initially to stay in my current firm and pursue an opportunity there. When it came time to pursue a role outside my firm, he had all the right contacts and relationships/resources to get me in front of key decisionmakers at all the most prestigious firms and was able to find and negotiate multiple job offers for me, even during a challenging lateral hiring window. I would highly recommend Evan, he is a great person to work with, is well respected in his field and by his clients and the firms he places them at, and he always keeps the interests of the candidate at the front of his mind throughout the process. I hope I don’t need his services again, but if I do, I know I will be in good hands.

Alan is an exceptional recruiter. Throughout the process, he was hands-on, highly diligent and refreshingly down-to-earth. With Alan advocating for me, I felt confident that I would secure the right placement on my own terms. His extensive knowledge of the market, the recruiting process and the key players was truly impressive. While I hope I never need his services again, I would not hesitate for a moment to work with him in the future.

Ed was absolutely fantastic. When I was strongly considering new employment, Ed reached out and explained a new opportunity to me. He provided great insight into the firm, was very responsive and courteous throughout the entire process, and really went to bat for me during the negotiations. Moreover, his prep for the multiple interviews was key to focusing on what the firm was looking for and really gave me an edge and comfortability going in to those meetings. Beyond the substantive work, I think what sets Ed really apart is the time he took to slow things down and make sure that I was comfortable with the move and that the position was right for me, which I really appreciated. In the end, I got the job and I am very happy with the decision and I don't think I would be here without Ed's help. I can't recommend him enough!

Greg was a huge asset to me as I navigated big law recruiting. He was always available to answer my questions and provided excellent advice as I navigated both my interviews as well as my decision once I had received offers. He is very knowledgeable about current trends in legal recruiting and was well-aware of how to tailor my candidacy for different firms' cultures. I could not have navigated this process without his help and would strongly recommend his services to other attorneys looking to make a move in this market.

Working with Priya was a uniquely pleasant experience. Any job search is stressful, and worrying that your chosen recruiter(s) do not have your best interests at heart is an added stressor that nobody needs. Priya used an extended intake session in order to ascertain the exact type of listings that would be most appropriate given my career goals. She has navigated the legal recruiting market extensively and brings that expertise to bear readily and transparently. Priya was hands-on and available at every step to make the process as painless as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend her for your legal job search needs.

Jack helped place me in my current role and was great to work with throughout the interviewing and hiring process. He was very empathetic, communicative and professional, and took the time to fully understand my career goals. I’m very appreciative for his guidance, and recommend him for other attorneys who are looking to make a move.

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.

Vijay exceeded expectations and achieved a great result for me in the recruiting process. I am happy to recommend Vijay as a legal recruiter to anyone navigating the lateral market.

I had a pleasant experience working with Summer. I worked with Summer over the span of a couple months and Summer reached out to me immediately when a position that fit my desires and experience opened up. Summer was very responsive and I believe her industry connections coupled with her law firm relationships lead to a favorable outcome for my transition. Based on our conversations, Summer told me that I would be in great hands at my current firm and she was right. I trust Summer’s advocacy and word and would work with Summer again in the future.

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.

Max was super responsive and targeted in his approach. He brought opportunities to me and listened to feedback to seek out additional opportunities that may not have been available at first glance. He was a pleasure to work with!

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.

Andrea is incredibly responsive, strategic and knowledgeable. She was phenomenal at managing every step of the lateral process and I recommend her to anyone else looking to lateral

Kally was an absolute pleasure to work with during the transition that led to my lateral move to Winston & Strawn LLP. From our first conversation, it was evident that she possessed a deep understanding of the legal market. She took a highly strategic and personalized approach to help me evaluate multiple opportunities. Her insights into firm culture, practice group dynamics, and market trends were instrumental in preparing me effectively for each stage of the process. Beyond her expertise, Kally was exceptionally responsive, supportive, proactive, and a trusted advisor. She assisted me with resume and interview prep, offer negotiation, and took the time to understand my goals. Throughout the process, she ensured that I felt confident and informed. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to any attorney exploring their next move.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience working with Zsaleh. I reached out to Zsaleh as an associate at a boutique firm in New York, looking to lateral to a BigLaw firm in California. I knew my search would be challenging, and I was feeling pretty nervous going into it - but Zsaleh made me feel optimistic from the moment we met. She was so exceptionally organized and had such a vast network of connections throughout California that I felt like I was in excellent hands throughout the entire process. She was also so communicative, giving me regular updates on all of my outstanding applications, and she was a huge help when I was preparing for interviews. Zsaleh played such a crucial role in me landing my dream role, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you for everything, Zsaleh!

I wholeheartedly recommend Brandon. He helped me achieve what many said couldn’t be done, which was landing my dream position in the sports world. His guidance, persistence, and confidence in me created an opportunity that changed my career path. Brandon is the most responsive and genuine recruiter I have worked with. I could not be more grateful.

Andrew is great! He's very knowledgeable, quick to respond, and will help you navigate the lateral legal market! 10/10 would recommend.

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!

Rhea is an amazing professional. She helped me find and obtain a very bespoke opportunity. From preparation to negotiation, she remained communicative and supportive throughout the process. She is incredibly transparent and has her candidate’s best interest always at heart; I never felt pressured to do or accept anything. I highly recommend working with Rhea. She is both a great professional resource and a great person to work with.

I’m extremely grateful to Jennifer for helping me through the job transfer. She was very responsive, great in communication, and gave me detailed suggestions before and after interviews which were super helpful. Jennifer really made my transfer smooth and easy and I would definitely recommend her as one of the best legal recruiters I worked with!

I worked with Bally on my move from London to New York. Bally was excellent to work with - responsive, attentive to what I was asking for and very personable. I was able to run through what kind of role I was looking for and she helped me narrow down a great list of opportunities and carved out an unposted role for me. I felt comfortable and supported on every step of my journey and cannot recommend Bally highly enough!

Rebecca provided invaluable support during the job search, going the extra mile to help secure a new position that involved relocating across the country. Her market insights, connections with various firms, and grasp of the lateral field ensured a smooth process. I highly recommend Rebecca to anyone contemplating a lateral move!

George was great to work with. He was responsive and knowledgeable about the market. His insights helped manage all expectations involved. Unlike many recruiters, George was genuine, and not overly aggressive or pushy. I felt at all times that George had my best interest in mind.

I had an excellent time working with Amanda, who recently helped place me at an international law firm. She was extremely professional and responsive. Amanda really took an interest getting to know me as a candidate, and was genuinely interested in hearing and understanding my goals and feedback. I felt Amanda was a strong advocate for me in the process when she could tell that I would be a good fit at a firm, and was always providing encouragement in the process when I needed it. She always offered a lot of very useful information about the roles I was interviewing for. She was very proactive in providing updates about the market which she shared even without me having to ask. I would easily recommend Amanda.

Austin helped me secure my current lateral associate role that is a great fit for me. From the beginning of the process, Austin was communicative, responsive, candid, and helpful. I’ve worked with a number of recruiters and Austin was one of, if not the most impressive in terms of his connections in the industry. I would happily recommend him and work with him again.

Working with Bryson was a seamless process. After our first meeting he sent me a personalized spreadsheet of open positions that matched my interests, and sending regular updates for new openings. As we prepped for interviews, Bryson went above and beyond to provide me with information for each person I would be meeting with in one consolidated email. He highlighted important information that he thought would be most interesting and relevant to me for my meetings. He also summarized the firms' statistics, with a welcome emphasis on diversity statistics. Bryson has spent hours compiling statistics on the top law firms' diversity numbers, and this knowledge shows! Bryson handled all of the communications with firms for me, and was quick at scheduling interviews, and keeping all the firms I was interviewing with aware of my other options. I believe this helped me receive multiple offers in a short time frame. When I was weighing these options, Bryson reached out to his network of peers and friends for additional information on lifestyle and culture. All in all, Bryson goes the extra mile in his role as recruiter. I felt confident that he was preparing me to the highest degree for my interviews and callbacks. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you Bryson!

Khurram helped me with a lateral move in the IP litigation space. Overall, he is talented, knowledgeable, and understanding. He takes the time to understand where you're looking to improve, put together a plan, and guide you through each step. I'd strongly recommend him for anyone looking to understand their options as they move forward in their career. Most importantly, I felt that Khurram was my advocate throughout the process. He gives you the space to consider your options without any pressure, and he advocates for your best interests when talking to firms. Keep it up, Khurram!

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.
