    Swan Legal Search

    Why talk to Zsaleh Harivandi?

    Pj Novack joined Ashurst Perkins Coie's Seattle office in the Litigation group.

    I strongly recommend hiring Zsaleh as a recruiter. Zsaleh reached out to me awhile back while I was clerking, and while I didn’t have a need for a recruiter at the time, Zsaleh generously took the time to explain to me how the recruiting process works. Left with a good impression, I contacted Zsaleh years later when I did need a recruiter, and she helped me land my top choice in a new city. Zsaleh is attentive, diligent, and a pleasure to work with. 10/10 recommend!

    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Jason Stavely joined Ashurst Perkins Coie's Los Angeles office in the Labor & Employment group.

    Priya is phenomenal to work with. She takes the time to simplify the process, understand your needs, and keep you updated throughout. I could not be more impressed with how effective Priya was and how easy it was to work with her. You can immediately tell that she "gets it" and knows how to address your unique situation. She gives you the tools and information necessary to make a potentially incredibly stressful situation stress-free. You are very fortunate if you have the opportunity to work with someone like Priya.

    Summer is a great recruiter. She was diligent in her communication with myself and the firm, provided me with frequent updates, and was very straight forward and honest through the whole process. She took out all the headache and anxiety I usually get during job searching. I highly recommend her.

    Long Ridge Partners

    Why talk to Evan Fox?

    Conor O'Hanlon joined Ashurst Perkins Coie's Silicon Valley office in the Data Privacy group.

    Evan assisted me in my placement with a new firm, which was a transfer into a relatively niche and specialist area of law. I was very impressed by his knowledge of the industry, his diligence and patience with various requests and his overall ability to recognize and understand what was ultimately the best fit for me. Evan is an excellent recruiter, and one I would gladly recommend to anyone.
