    Ed Hossain

    Legal Recruiter

    Long Ridge Partners

    Why talk to Ed Hossain?

    Andrew Mandelbaum, CFA joined Simpson Thacher's Houston office in the Tax group.

    Ed was an invaluable resource when I was exploring the legal market in Houston. It was a pleasure working with Ed and I appreciate his perspective and insights. He is responsive, honest, and has the best interests of his clients in mind. Highly recommend.

  • Max Bartram Esq.

    Max Bartram Esq.

    Legal Recruiter

    Coast to Coast Legal Search

    Why talk to Max Bartram Esq.?

    Samir Halawi joined Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP's Houston office in the Tax group.

    As I have said to Max in the course of our work together, he has the “Midas touch.” He does not simply reach out to candidates with job opportunities that are posted on law firm websites. He gets to know the candidate and he figures out what they are looking for (for e.g., work, geographic and practice preferences), who they are (personality, work style, background, etc.) and what their goals are, and finds opportunities that match their preferences. Often, these opportunities are not posted on law firm websites and, if they are, he has (or establishes) a direct line of communication with in-house recruiters and partners so that the candidate’s application does not get lost in the shuffle. He works closely with you through the entire hiring process giving very useful and relevant feedback along the way. His years of experience really shine through in this respect. After you are placed, he follows-up with you periodically to make sure all is well. He has a lot of integrity, stands by his word and never gives up until he finds you the right opportunity. I highly recommend working with him.

    Why talk to Rebecca Glatzer?

    Lydia B. Cash joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP's Austin office in the Intellectual Property group.

    Rebecca is a FANTASTIC recruiter, and I can't recommend her enough. Her knowledge of the market is outstanding, and she really "takes care of" you - she is incredibly responsive and supportive, and she instills confidence every step of the way. Even in a rough lateral market, Rebecca made it happen. She followed up with firms weekly and gave me daily/weekly updates, and she made sure to communicate my unique experience and resume to firms. She was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable during the interview process, giving me great examples of interview questions that were personalized to my experience and resume. She also gave me detailed profiles of each of my interviewers, which was awesome. Even after an offer came in, Rebecca was still "fighting" for me every step of the way, making sure my benefits and bonus would be commensurate with my expectations, and following up with the firm on conflicts, etcetera. Rebecca is so personable and kind, and I really felt like she made the whole experience so personalized to me and my resume/situation, which speaks volumes. Seriously can't recommend her enough! Five star experience working with Rebecca!

    Priya Gulati

    Legal Recruiter

    Pacific Legal Search

    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Phillip Chang joined Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP's Houston office in the Finance group.

    Working with Priya was a uniquely pleasant experience. Any job search is stressful, and worrying that your chosen recruiter(s) do not have your best interests at heart is an added stressor that nobody needs. Priya used an extended intake session in order to ascertain the exact type of listings that would be most appropriate given my career goals. She has navigated the legal recruiting market extensively and brings that expertise to bear readily and transparently. Priya was hands-on and available at every step to make the process as painless as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend her for your legal job search needs.

    Kate Reder Sheikh

    Legal Recruiter

    Major, Lindsey & Africa

    Why talk to Kate Reder Sheikh?

    Kim Dusseldorp joined Latham & Watkins LLP's Austin office in the Investment Funds group.

    Kate helped me find a new job even when I felt I was an under-qualified candidate. I was not hopeful at all I would find something I wanted or liked. She was honest about my chances from the beginning which really helped manage my expectations. I changed directions a couple times with where I wanted to be located and this was no problem for Kate. She really listened to what I was looking for and used my feedback to find interesting opportunities. Throughout the interview process, she would always check in. And even during onboarding she would check in to ask if I needed anything. Kate helped me find a job that I both wanted and liked! Very happy with how things turned out and I would definitely recommend Kate!!

    Legal Recruiter

    Freshwater Counsel

    Why talk to Khurram Naik?

    Carissa Olowos joined Greenberg Traurig, LLP's Houston office in the Intellectual Property group.

    I knew that I wanted to use my maternity leave as an opportunity to explore my interest in lateraling to another firm. Working with Khurram made the job search process easy. He answered all my questions, prepped me for my interviews, and communicated with me through the entire process. At one point, I received a call back from a law firm that I did not believe would give me a call back due to me not attending a top law school. He not only coached me up but also fought for me to be classified with my law school graduation class year. I am so thankful our paths crossed. I would recommend him to any one I know.

    Rhea is an amazing professional. She helped me find and obtain a very bespoke opportunity. From preparation to negotiation, she remained communicative and supportive throughout the process. She is incredibly transparent and has her candidate’s best interest always at heart; I never felt pressured to do or accept anything. I highly recommend working with Rhea. She is both a great professional resource and a great person to work with.
