    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.

He also reassured me throughout the process that the most important thing was that I found the right fit for my lateral move, and did not rush me into making any particular decision.

    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.
