Senior Leasing Attorney - US

Priya helped me when I moved between firms. It was my first lateral move and the thought of having to update my resume for the first time since law school and preparing for interviews was daunting, but Priya made everything unbelievably easy for me. She was willing to work with my busy schedule and worked overtime to make sure I was fully prepared for my interview. She was available for me throughout the day and night, and even on weekends. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking to move between firms and will reach out to her again if I decide I need another move!

Ed went above and beyond helping me find a new position. I don’t think I would have been hired without his help updating my resume, preparing for interviews and researching the target firm. What I really appreciated was that I never felt pressured to take a position that wasn’t right for me. He felt like an advisor, not a salesman, which is a hugely important quality in a recruiter. I don’t think you can do better if you’re looking for help finding a new firm!

Dale is an excellent recruiter, and he was a fantastic resource in my transition to big law. Dale helped me update my resume, prepare for interviews, and negotiate an offer. His knowledge of the legal market and hiring process proved invaluable. I highly recommend him.

Andrew was extremely helpful and easy to work with. He provided valuable guidance throughout the process and was available to answer all of my questions. If you are interested in exploring new employment opportunities, don’t hesitate to reach out to Andrew to set up an introductory call.

Alice was extremely helpful in my job search and helped me land an amazing opportunity. She was responsive and guided me through the entire process. I couldn’t be more thankful for all her hard work.

Evan is the ideal recruiter. His targeted approach and thoroughness during the hiring process made my recent career transition seamless. He was available 24/7 and I never felt out of touch throughout my process. He knew the answers to almost all of my questions, and those he did not he found for me right away. I trusted his guidance entirely and am thrilled with the current placement he facilitated.

Greg was great throughout the whole process. I really appreciated how responsive he was and I felt as if I could text him at any time. But above all, Greg was highly knowledgeable and well connected so I knew I was in safe hands.

I worked with Andrea when it came time to leave my prior law firm. Having spent my first five years as a lawyer with the firm I was leaving, I was a bit nervous about exploring the market and knew that I wanted to land somewhere that would meet my specific criteria (location, pay, meaningful work, opportunity to grow, good people, etc.). Andrea helped calm my nerves and educated me on the market and my best options. She also held my hand through the application/interview stages and then helped me negotiate once I received an offer, which was an incredibly beneficial service. I whole-heartedly recommend her.

Summer is exceptionally good at what she does. She takes time to understand her clients and helps them find the firms that best fit their long-term career goals. She is also well-connected to the legal industry and works quickly to accumulate interviews for her clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to lateraling associates.

Austin helped me secure my current lateral associate role that is a great fit for me. From the beginning of the process, Austin was communicative, responsive, candid, and helpful. I’ve worked with a number of recruiters and Austin was one of, if not the most impressive in terms of his connections in the industry. I would happily recommend him and work with him again.

I had the pleasure of working with Darin during my transition from a government attorney to a role in private practice. Darin took the time to understand my career goals and matched me with a law firm that perfectly aligned with my skills and aspirations. Darin’s professionalism and dedication were instrumental throughout the search process. I highly recommend Darin to anyone seeking a new position.

I had an excellent time working with Amanda, who recently helped place me at an international law firm. She was extremely professional and responsive. Amanda really took an interest getting to know me as a candidate, and was genuinely interested in hearing and understanding my goals and feedback. I felt Amanda was a strong advocate for me in the process when she could tell that I would be a good fit at a firm, and was always providing encouragement in the process when I needed it. She always offered a lot of very useful information about the roles I was interviewing for. She was very proactive in providing updates about the market which she shared even without me having to ask. I would easily recommend Amanda.

Kate is one of the best recruiters out there! She is extremely knowledgeable about the SF legal market and completely upfront about what is realistic based on the current market and your experience. I would highly recommend working with her!

Alan is an exceptional recruiter. Throughout the process, he was hands-on, highly diligent and refreshingly down-to-earth. With Alan advocating for me, I felt confident that I would secure the right placement on my own terms. His extensive knowledge of the market, the recruiting process and the key players was truly impressive. While I hope I never need his services again, I would not hesitate for a moment to work with him in the future.

George was great to work with. He was responsive and knowledgeable about the market. His insights helped manage all expectations involved. Unlike many recruiters, George was genuine, and not overly aggressive or pushy. I felt at all times that George had my best interest in mind.

Jessica placed me in my current position at DLA Piper. She made the job search easy. Jessica is very professional and responsive. I highly recommend working with her in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Kally during a recent lateral transition, and I highly recommend her and her team as recruiters. They were thoughtful, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about the legal market. Throughout the process, Kally provided clear guidance, communicated proactively, and demonstrated a strong understanding of both the technical aspects of the role and the broader strategic fit. She not only understands the legal market very well, but also takes the time to understand the needs, goals, and qualities of each candidate. Her professionalism and insight made the entire process smooth and efficient, particularly as she helped me navigate multiple interviews and offers. I definitely recommend her.

Jack helped place me in my current role and was great to work with throughout the interviewing and hiring process. He was very empathetic, communicative and professional, and took the time to fully understand my career goals. I’m very appreciative for his guidance, and recommend him for other attorneys who are looking to make a move.

I worked with Max this past summer to help place me in my current role, and I highly recommend him. Max is probably one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with during my career. He provided a very personalized approach - one that I haven’t seen from many recruiters. Max took the time to genuinely understand my career goals and then sent me quality leads based on these very specific goals. He was available at all times of the day for check-ins and always super responsive. After every interview, he would follow up on how it went and then follow up with the firm as well. If you’re looking for your next position, and want to work with a recruiter that is professional, personable and warm - I highly recommend Max for your search!

Jason is a fantastic recruiter who helped me lateral between markets. He’s extremely responsive and does a great job placing candidates in roles where they can succeed. I highly recommend working with him.

Rhea is a consummate professional. She masterfully guided me through the lateral process with her exceptional responsiveness and targeted strategy based on our conversations. Her effectiveness, thoroughness, and thoughtfulness were on clear display as she helped me secure my new role. I can't recommend Rhea enough if you're considering a lateral move.

Rebecca was invaluable in helping me navigate my job search. She was responsive, proactive, and took the time to really listen to me throughout the search. I highly recommend Rebecca as a legal recruiter!

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!

Working with Bryson was a seamless process. After our first meeting he sent me a personalized spreadsheet of open positions that matched my interests, and sending regular updates for new openings. As we prepped for interviews, Bryson went above and beyond to provide me with information for each person I would be meeting with in one consolidated email. He highlighted important information that he thought would be most interesting and relevant to me for my meetings. He also summarized the firms' statistics, with a welcome emphasis on diversity statistics. Bryson has spent hours compiling statistics on the top law firms' diversity numbers, and this knowledge shows! Bryson handled all of the communications with firms for me, and was quick at scheduling interviews, and keeping all the firms I was interviewing with aware of my other options. I believe this helped me receive multiple offers in a short time frame. When I was weighing these options, Bryson reached out to his network of peers and friends for additional information on lifestyle and culture. All in all, Bryson goes the extra mile in his role as recruiter. I felt confident that he was preparing me to the highest degree for my interviews and callbacks. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you Bryson!

If you are looking to make a lateral move, or even just thinking about it, you need to speak with Susan. When you work with Susan, you don’t simply get a recruiter—you get a consultant, a mentor, a counselor, and a friend. Susan’s knowledge of the legal market knows no limits, and she has expertise that can only be acquired from years of being at the top of her field. Moreover, Susan is an absolute delight to work with, and her positivity and enthusiasm make the process enjoyable! From my first phone call with Susan, it was clear that she is in a class all her own. Susan took the time to discuss my background, listen to my priorities and career goals, and get to know me as a person. I am a regulatory health attorney, and my practice area is very specific. Susan never pushed me toward a role for the sake of it—instead, Susan sought my input to make sure that we focused on my exact area of health law. Susan is 100% invested in her candidates, and it shows. She coached me through each step, from perfecting my resume to rigorously preparing me for every single interview. Susan's dedication to her candidates goes above and beyond professional guidance and mentorship—she always made time for me, no matter how seemingly minor my question might have been, and she remained engaged and accessible throughout the process. Thanks to Susan, I am in the perfect role. I am grateful that Susan was my recruiter and legal placement consultant, and I am even more fortunate to call her my mentor and friend. I cannot recommend Susan highly enough!

Brandon handled everything from start to finish efficiently and professionally. I could not have asked for a better guide.

Vijay from Sterling Clark Group is a true talent in the world of legal recruitment. With Vijay’s essential guidance and support, I secured a lucrative lateral offer in a tough economy.  Since our introductory exchanges, Vijay communicated with me in an uplifting yet realistic manner. He demonstrated a strong understanding of the legal field. He provided keen insight into various legal industries, law firm sizes, and feasible exit opportunities. Vijay’s knowledge base repeatedly proved to me that he understands the different shapes a legal career can take.  Vijay’s memory is sharp, and he clearly invests in the candidates he works with. Vijay took the initiative to speak with me candidly about my own career goals. He would thoughtfully weave those goals into the opportunities he carefully tailored and shared with me. As a diverse applicant, it was also important for me to work with a recruiter who was considerate of my background. Vijay proved more than capable of ensuring that the opportunities I considered provided meaningful programming and mentorship for diverse attorneys. During our meetings, Vijay showcased a keen and strategic approach to the lateral hiring process. Vijay works diligently to ensure that his clients lead with their very best. Vijay’s resume input urged me to step into the shoes of a reviewer. It allowed me to refine my language meaningfully. Vijay’s interview prep anticipated questions and workshopped my answers. This preparation allowed me to arrive at interviews with confidence. And at each turn, Vijay showed deep investment in my process. Vijay was eager to debrief interviews and he would offer worthwhile input based on his years of experience and industry exposure. These debriefs offered perspective on my candidacy and feedback to bring into later rounds. Vijay is a true advocate for his clients. He sparked meaningful reflection. He spoke with me from a place of relatability and genuine encouragement. He foresaw the contours of the interview and recruitment process that I could not have anticipated on my own. I benefited greatly from his efforts and ended this process feeling like he invested in me.

Ren was great to work with. I was under no pressure to leave my prior firm and relatively new to the process, and Ren tailored his approach to my situation and worked with me to find the best opportunities. From our first conversation, he was proactive, invested and diligent in keeping things moving across the board. From market knowledge to interview advice, his insights and experience proved very helpful and contributed to a smooth and straightforward transition. I’m very grateful to Ren for his role in the process.

I would highly recommend Steven to any attorney looking to make a lateral move. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the markets in which he places attorneys, he was also very knowledgeable about my area of practice (business immigration), which is a quality I’ve not seen in other recruiters I’ve communicated with previously. He has incredibly valuable insights into the entire recruitment process - from finessing a resume, to preparing for different rounds of interviews, to accepting an offer, to giving notice to your current employer. I felt so supported throughout the entire process, and Steven was always available for a call or to quickly answer a text or email when I had any questions or concerns. Steven also took the time to really get to know me as a person and professional, ensuring that I didn’t just find a new role, but a role, practice group, and firm that were a great fit for me and my professional goals. The lateral process can be intimidating and a bit unnerving, but Steven’s encouragement and guidance made the process much easier to navigate. I am so grateful for his support throughout the process, and his continued support as I transition into my new role. Thank you so much, Steven!

In preparing for my lateral move, I had a lot of questions about the logistics of the process and how to prepare for interviews. Khurram was very helpful during the experience because he was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable on the lateral market. His advice and guidance made the experience very smooth and his positivity throughout made the transition much less daunting. I would not have been able to make the move without his help!

Jenny was amazing to work with! She was so knowledgeable about potential positions and keeping me informed every step of the way. She was quick to hop on a phone call and answer questions and was so readily available. I highly recommend working with her for your next career move in the legal field!

I worked with Bally on my move from London to New York. Bally was excellent to work with - responsive, attentive to what I was asking for and very personable. I was able to run through what kind of role I was looking for and she helped me narrow down a great list of opportunities and carved out an unposted role for me. I felt comfortable and supported on every step of my journey and cannot recommend Bally highly enough!

Lavinia is a great recruiter to work with. She tried to understand my needs and was patient while working with me as it took us several months before she could find me the firm that suites my needs the best. I couldn’t have asked her to find me the better place to work for. I’m very happy with the transition and the hard work she provided. I highly recommend working with her.
