    Why talk to Alan Hershkowitz?

    Alex Cavayero joined Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP's New York City office in the Corporate group.

    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.

    Why talk to Evan Fox?

    Melissa Meyer Greenwood joined Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP's New York City office in the Acquisition Finance group.

    Evan was very helpful in navigating the lateral market for my transition. I was very specific about my search and the criteria for my new shop. Evan listened to my requirements and created a bespoke set of targets (rather than the standard list). Given his relationship with individuals at these firms, I was able to have informal talks to understand which firm would be best for me. I was also on parental leave during my search and he was understanding and compassionate in navigating all my life changes. I am happily at my new firm and thankful for Evan's work.
