    Why talk to Amanda Finley, Esq.?

    Chris Boyett joined Akerman LLP's Miami office in the Litigation group.

    I am so grateful I had Amanda as my recruiter. She coached and guided me through a lengthy interview season with many top law firms and was helpful, thoughtful, and knowledgeable for the entirety of the process. She was always available for advice and help (night and day!), and was pivotal in navigating through a big transition. Her knowledge of the legal landscape and the process at large was impressive, and I hope that for any lateral move, associates can find someone as wonderful and helpful as Amanda!

    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Jacqueline Foroutan joined Akerman LLP's Los Angeles office in the Litigation group.

    I feel immensely privileged to have worked with Priya on my lateral move. She had a refreshingly personalized approach and left no stone unturned throughout the entire job search process. She worked diligently to notify me of unique opportunities at top-ranked law firms and assisted with artfully crafting and polishing my written materials. She then prepared me with specific interview strategies and consistently followed up with firms after interviews to elicit feedback and gauge their level of interest. Priya maintained a high level of responsiveness throughout this seemingly daunting endeavor—even during off-hours and weekends—so I was never left hanging if I had questions or concerns. Above all, Priya always had my best interests in mind; she never attempted to persuade or pressure me to submit an application or accept an offer if I had reservations. Ultimately, I think of Priya not just as a seasoned legal recruiter, but also as a caring mentor who encourages job-seeking candidates to be proactive yet patient, and most importantly, to never settle for less.
