    Major, Lindsey & Africa

    Why talk to Kate Reder Sheikh?

    Bryan Osorio joined Fenwick & West's San Francisco office in the Intellectual Property group.

    Kate is the best. She is knowledgable and plugged in. She knows something about everyone and every firm. She is great at interview prep. But the best thing about working with Kate is the way that she treats not just her clients but people in general. I never felt like I was being pushed into a job just so that Kate could get paid. I felt like Kate was personally invested in me going to a place that was going to be a great fit. Her people skills are second to none. Big Law is tough enough to do without having to figure out how to look for another job. Kate makes it so you don't have to worry about any of that. I feel comfortable connecting my close friends with Kate because I know she is going to find the right place for them. I highly recommend going with Kate!

    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Benjamin Alred joined Latham & Watkins LLP's Bay Area office in the Intellectual Property group.

    I was referred to Priya by a friend and former colleague and would eagerly give that referral to anyone else in the same situation. To be completely candid, I cannot imagine finding a better recruiter than Priya. I had worked with other recruiters in the past and heard experiences from colleagues, but I could not imagine someone adding as much value during the difficult process of changing positions as she did. She was so helpful and well organized during the entire process, all the while understanding the stress of performing a demanding job while trying to find better opportunities. She helped prepare application materials, performed mock interviews on weekends to accommodate my availability, and provided specific feedback and input to help me prepare for each and every interview and interviewer. Even little touches to make my life easier, like forwarding biographies and LinkedIn profiles of interviewers, Priya always provided without asking. When it came to the step of deciding between offers, she was once again an understanding advocate, helping me weigh different factors important to me and acting as an independent party who could negotiate on my behalf to make sure all my concerns were addressed. If anyone is unsure about finding the right recruiter who properly fits their needs or would like more specific details on just how wonderful Priya is to work with, I would encourage them to reach out to me further as I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    Why talk to Summer Eberhard?

    Amber Harezlak, JD, PhD joined Morrison & Foerster LLP's San Francisco office in the Intellectual Property group.

    Summer was both a great resource and strong advocate for me as I was going through the process of changing jobs. What really drew me to Summer was her willingness to get to know me over a long period of time and bring appropriate opportunities to my attention. Because she knew my background and what I was looking for, she was able to be that much more effective when I was ready to make a move in my career. If that isn’t enough, Summer was also able to share valuable insights as I navigated the interviewing process - both with respect to what was happening in the industry overall and how I was performing personally. Her knowledge and experience were important keys to my success.

    Why talk to Khurram Naik?

    Saurabh Gupta joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP's District of Columbia office in the Intellectual Property group.

    In my interactions with Khurram, his approach truly stood out: he listens patiently, never pushes, and consistently aims for a genuine win-win outcome. He thoroughly discusses the pros and cons of all your options so you can trust his feedback, and he’s quick to understand your perspective. He’ll push on your behalf wherever possible but isn’t afraid to tell you if something isn’t practical. You still have to walk the path and make your case, but he’s there to guide you with a firm hand. I’ve seen how his insight and dedication lead to excellent opportunities that fulfill every requirement—and then some. I highly recommend Khurram and his team as recruiters who prioritize what matters most and deliver results.

    LuAnne Morrow joined Troutman Pepper Locke's Los Angeles office in the Intellectual Property group.

    I can’t recommend Jenny enough. I recently embarked on a significant career change and her insight, patience and knowledge of the legal marketplace gave me a great sense of confidence. Jenny has an ability to understand what a job searcher is looking for but also what firms would be a good fit. She is very responsive and was not in a rush but willing to take the time to find the right fit. In addition, she takes the time to get to know you and your practice at the outset and is creative in her approach. Jenny is someone you can trust to guide you in your search with integrity.

    Long Ridge Partners

    Why talk to Ed Hossain?

    David Hien Lien joined Baker Botts LLP's Palo Alto office in the Intellectual Property group.

    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!

    Kyoko Makino joined Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP's Los Angeles office in the Intellectual Property group.

    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.

    Why talk to Alan Hershkowitz?

    Saurabh Prabhakar joined O'Melveny & Myers LLP's San Francisco office in the Intellectual Property group.

    Alan is not just a recruiter to me but my trusted confidant and friend. Alan has worked with me on two lateral moves and each time he had my complete trust. Alan earned my trust by demonstrating that he was listening to me--something I value highly. When I was planning my first lateral move, other recruiters tried to sell me what they had and not what I wanted from my next firm. But Alan provided me with options that fit my requirements. Alan is also dependable. Besides the big things like interview prep and offer negotiation, Alan kept his commitment in even the most routine but important things, like keeping me informed, calling at the scheduled time, and providing me with detailed data to help me with my decisions. Alan candidly discussed the options I had and was never pushy. Advice he gave me about my options was consistent with the advice I got from several seasoned lawyers. Finally, at offer time, Alan zealously advocated for the requests that I had for my future employers. So when I thought about another lateral move, Alan was my first and only call. For all these reasons, I highly recommend Alan to attorneys looking for a lateral opportunity.

    Why talk to Susan Belardi?

    Sean Robinson joined DLA Piper's District of Columbia office in the Intellectual Property group.

    A chain of work colleagues put me in touch with Susan when I wanted to transition to a new position. Susan was extremely transparent about her process and asked for my explicit permission before contacting firms on my behalf, which gave me the chance to research firms and decide whether I felt the fit was right. Susan helped me learn information about firms and helped me practice my interview skills so I went into an interview confident and armed with knowledge that immediately struck a chord with the people who interviewed me. She never gave up on me, even when I got discouraged. I got a great job with DLA Piper thanks to Susan's hard work, and I'm extremely happy!
