    Why talk to Jessica Pai?

    Lucas Peterson joined Blank Rome LLP's Chicago office in the Intellectual Property group.

    Jessica was a stand out legal recruiter from the very beginning. She was always attentive and responsive to questions and new openings as they became available, and I never felt as if I was just another number in the system. She was very dedicated to finding the perfect role for me, understanding my background and interests thoroughly in recommending roles that were ideal fits. Once an interview request came in, her help preparing for interviewing was unmatched and extremely helpful. I highly recommend working with Jessica as she is clearly exceptional.

    Why talk to Darin Morgan?

    Theresa Topping joined Blank Rome LLP's District of Columbia office in the Labor & Employment group.

    I could not recommend Darin enough! Not only did he lead me through an AmLaw 100 application and interview process resulting in an offer, he made himself available for my countless questions all while being the ultimate advocate placing myself in the best position as an applicant. I’m grateful for Darin’s wise words and encouragement throughout the process. His expertise and knowledge of the legal field job market was evident after our first conversation. It’s safe to say he’s the best of the best to work with and I’d recommend him ten times over.
