    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!
