Kate is wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her. She helped me navigate a move during a very challenging time. Kate takes the time to listen and truly understand what your career goals and expectations are. She is a great advocate and was able negotiate an offer that I was very happy with. Most importantly, Kate is super responsive and is always around to listen and answer any questions, no matter how small. I felt that I could always count on her for advice and guidance throughout the process.

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!

Amanda is an excellent and empowering legal recruiter! She was recommended by a good friend of mine and for good reason. She understood my goals and supported me throughout the lateral process. She also prepared me well for all my interviews and made me feel confident during them. Amanda is also very responsive and easy to talk to. She takes time to understand who you are, where you are, and where you want to be. If you want a recruiter who will keep your spirits high and set you up to achieve your goals, Amanda's the recruiter for you!

Evan is the ideal recruiter. His targeted approach and thoroughness during the hiring process made my recent career transition seamless. He was available 24/7 and I never felt out of touch throughout my process. He knew the answers to almost all of my questions, and those he did not he found for me right away. I trusted his guidance entirely and am thrilled with the current placement he facilitated.

Greg was a fantastic recruiter! He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, and his connections, advice and knowledge of the industry were invaluable throughout the whole process. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking to make a move.

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!

I worked with Andrea when it came time to leave my prior law firm. Having spent my first five years as a lawyer with the firm I was leaving, I was a bit nervous about exploring the market and knew that I wanted to land somewhere that would meet my specific criteria (location, pay, meaningful work, opportunity to grow, good people, etc.). Andrea helped calm my nerves and educated me on the market and my best options. She also held my hand through the application/interview stages and then helped me negotiate once I received an offer, which was an incredibly beneficial service. I whole-heartedly recommend her.

Summer is exceptionally good at what she does. She takes time to understand her clients and helps them find the firms that best fit their long-term career goals. She is also well-connected to the legal industry and works quickly to accumulate interviews for her clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to lateraling associates.

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.

I had the pleasure of working with George and I was genuinely impressed by his sharp understanding of the market, thoughtful approach, and consistent professionalism; he was highly responsive, transparent, and genuinely focused on aligning opportunities with my long-term goals, making the process both efficient and seamless. I would readily recommend him to anyone seeking a strategic and reliable recruiter.

I had the pleasure of working with Kally during a recent lateral transition, and I highly recommend her and her team as recruiters. They were thoughtful, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about the legal market. Throughout the process, Kally provided clear guidance, communicated proactively, and demonstrated a strong understanding of both the technical aspects of the role and the broader strategic fit. She not only understands the legal market very well, but also takes the time to understand the needs, goals, and qualities of each candidate. Her professionalism and insight made the entire process smooth and efficient, particularly as she helped me navigate multiple interviews and offers. I definitely recommend her.

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.

Priya was a dream to work with when I was looking to transition firms. She was incredibly responsive, keeping me updated on applications without my having to follow up; she was attentive in ensuring that any firms I submitted to would be a good fit for me; and she took time to help me prepare for all of my interviews to ensure that I was set up for success. In the end, she was able to help me find a position in a new geographic location in less time than I expected, despite a weak market for my practice area. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a new position.

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.

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.

Dale was a thoughtful and diligent recruiter. He listened to what I wanted and worked hard to find me the opportunities I was interested in, even when it was a tough sell on the other side. This was markedly different from other recruiters I had worked with who seemed more interested in selling me on the opportunities they needed to fill when it became clear that it was going to be hard to help me fulfill my goals. He successfully helped me switch markets and practice areas and lateral to a dream position after having taken a year and a half off biglaw to go public interest. This was a real challenge and I could not have managed it without him. Cannot recommend him highly enough!

Zsaleh is fantastic. I cannot recommend her enough. Amidst the chaos of billing 250-hour months, it felt like moving firms was impossible. However, Zsaleh made it possible with her attention to detail, great communication, and excellent follow-up. She carefully tailored her job recommendations to what I wanted so I could efficiently decide where to apply. She was also extremely supportive of me being picky about where to apply and I knew she had (and still has) my best interest at heart. Finally, Zsaleh is so warm, kind, and friendly—you will feel comfortable around her immediately, which is critical in such a stressful process. I’ve recommended her to several friends and am doing the same here. Thank you again, Zsaleh!

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!

Brandon handled everything from start to finish efficiently and professionally. I could not have asked for a better guide.

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.

Alice was extremely helpful in my job search and helped me land an amazing opportunity. She was responsive and guided me through the entire process. I couldn’t be more thankful for all her hard work.

Max was hugely helpful in my search, proactively running opportunities by me, but also creating them from thin air. He's a talented recruiter and also a very kind, fun person to chat with. That personality goes far in terms of sourcing opportunities for his clients. Lastly, his level of care and diligence sets him far apart from the scores of recruiters that reach out to us daily.

Jenny was amazing to work with! She was so knowledgeable about potential positions and keeping me informed every step of the way. She was quick to hop on a phone call and answer questions and was so readily available. I highly recommend working with her for your next career move in the legal field!

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!

Vijay from Sterling Clark Group is a true talent in the world of legal recruitment. With Vijay’s essential guidance and support, I secured a lucrative lateral offer in a tough economy.  Since our introductory exchanges, Vijay communicated with me in an uplifting yet realistic manner. He demonstrated a strong understanding of the legal field. He provided keen insight into various legal industries, law firm sizes, and feasible exit opportunities. Vijay’s knowledge base repeatedly proved to me that he understands the different shapes a legal career can take.  Vijay’s memory is sharp, and he clearly invests in the candidates he works with. Vijay took the initiative to speak with me candidly about my own career goals. He would thoughtfully weave those goals into the opportunities he carefully tailored and shared with me. As a diverse applicant, it was also important for me to work with a recruiter who was considerate of my background. Vijay proved more than capable of ensuring that the opportunities I considered provided meaningful programming and mentorship for diverse attorneys. During our meetings, Vijay showcased a keen and strategic approach to the lateral hiring process. Vijay works diligently to ensure that his clients lead with their very best. Vijay’s resume input urged me to step into the shoes of a reviewer. It allowed me to refine my language meaningfully. Vijay’s interview prep anticipated questions and workshopped my answers. This preparation allowed me to arrive at interviews with confidence. And at each turn, Vijay showed deep investment in my process. Vijay was eager to debrief interviews and he would offer worthwhile input based on his years of experience and industry exposure. These debriefs offered perspective on my candidacy and feedback to bring into later rounds. Vijay is a true advocate for his clients. He sparked meaningful reflection. He spoke with me from a place of relatability and genuine encouragement. He foresaw the contours of the interview and recruitment process that I could not have anticipated on my own. I benefited greatly from his efforts and ended this process feeling like he invested in me.

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.
