    Why talk to Jessica Pai?

    Chelsea Zhang joined Baker Botts LLP's District of Columbia office in the Intellectual Property group.

    I had such a wonderful experience working with Jessica! She was super attentive to detail, remembered all my preferences, and tailored my job search to my goals. From resume review to prep sessions before the interview to second-eyeing thank you emails, Jessica was there to give solid tips and insider advice throughout the entire process. She is very knowledgeable about the IP world and was always accessible when I had any questions. She made me feel supported and at ease, and she never gave me any pressure to make decisions one way or the other. I would highly recommend working with Jessica!
