Mid-Level Associate: Mergers & Acquisitions

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!

Priya gets it done. Regardless of how strong you are as a candidate, Priya adds value to your search in ways you may not appreciate until you're in the process. She provides a personalized strategy, impeccable organization skills and responsiveness, a sterling reputation among law firm contacts, invaluable insights, dedicated interview prep and so much more. On top of that, she does her job with grace and integrity. When I had an offer in hand and was considering all options, Priya did NOT pressure me to accept the offer, and even suggested I might want to stay put if I felt a certain way. This was against her immediate self interest and speaks volumes about the kind of person and professional she is. Finally, Priya is so down to Earth and a true joy to work with. I can't recommend her enough.

Dale has been fantastic to work with. Dale and his team were extremely well versed and networked with various firms and their practice groups. Most importantly, Dale truly cares about finding the right fit and facilitating a smooth/enjoyable transition. I would recommend Dale to any colleague and I’m so glad to have had his expertise and help.

Ed is an outstanding recruiter who truly goes above and beyond. He transformed a complex hiring process into a smooth, straightforward experience that was easy to navigate. I can't recommend him enough for anyone seeking top-tier talent support.

I had a pleasant experience working with Summer. I worked with Summer over the span of a couple months and Summer reached out to me immediately when a position that fit my desires and experience opened up. Summer was very responsive and I believe her industry connections coupled with her law firm relationships lead to a favorable outcome for my transition. Based on our conversations, Summer told me that I would be in great hands at my current firm and she was right. I trust Summer’s advocacy and word and would work with Summer again in the future.

Greg made the lateral process easy and pleasant. At no point in the process did I ever feel like just another applicant. Greg listened to what I wanted and personalized the experience. I would absolutely recommend Greg for your lateral search.

Vijay exceeded expectations and achieved a great result for me in the recruiting process. I am happy to recommend Vijay as a legal recruiter to anyone navigating the lateral market.

Andrea is incredibly responsive, strategic and knowledgeable. She was phenomenal at managing every step of the lateral process and I recommend her to anyone else looking to lateral

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience working with Zsaleh. I reached out to Zsaleh as an associate at a boutique firm in New York, looking to lateral to a BigLaw firm in California. I knew my search would be challenging, and I was feeling pretty nervous going into it - but Zsaleh made me feel optimistic from the moment we met. She was so exceptionally organized and had such a vast network of connections throughout California that I felt like I was in excellent hands throughout the entire process. She was also so communicative, giving me regular updates on all of my outstanding applications, and she was a huge help when I was preparing for interviews. Zsaleh played such a crucial role in me landing my dream role, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you for everything, Zsaleh!

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 very much enjoyed working with Jessica. Jessica knows the market well and does an excellent job of guiding you through the process, from interview prep, to scheduling, to frequent check-ins. However, I think what sets Jessica apart the most is her strategic thinking: she knows how to expertly navigate a challenging interview process or tricky hiring timeline, a rare skill that can make an invaluable difference in achieving the outcome you're hoping for. I highly recommend working with Jessica if you're looking to make a lateral move.

I’m extremely grateful to Jennifer for helping me through the job transfer. She was very responsive, great in communication, and gave me detailed suggestions before and after interviews which were super helpful. Jennifer really made my transfer smooth and easy and I would definitely recommend her as one of the best legal recruiters I worked with!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Amanda Finley, Esq. of Lateral Match, and I could not be happier with my new position. She not only identified a slew of firms that matched what I was looking for, she also helped me revise my resume, prepare for interviews, and negotiate offers. Amanda is incredibly responsive, highly strategic, and tremendously experienced. I would recommend her to any colleagues or anyone else looking to transition into a new role!

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.

Khurram helped me with a lateral move in the IP litigation space. Overall, he is talented, knowledgeable, and understanding. He takes the time to understand where you're looking to improve, put together a plan, and guide you through each step. I'd strongly recommend him for anyone looking to understand their options as they move forward in their career. Most importantly, I felt that Khurram was my advocate throughout the process. He gives you the space to consider your options without any pressure, and he advocates for your best interests when talking to firms. Keep it up, Khurram!

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.

Alan is not just a recruiter to me but my trusted confidant and friend. Alan has worked with me on two lateral moves and each time he had my complete trust. Alan earned my trust by demonstrating that he was listening to me--something I value highly. When I was planning my first lateral move, other recruiters tried to sell me what they had and not what I wanted from my next firm. But Alan provided me with options that fit my requirements. Alan is also dependable. Besides the big things like interview prep and offer negotiation, Alan kept his commitment in even the most routine but important things, like keeping me informed, calling at the scheduled time, and providing me with detailed data to help me with my decisions. Alan candidly discussed the options I had and was never pushy. Advice he gave me about my options was consistent with the advice I got from several seasoned lawyers. Finally, at offer time, Alan zealously advocated for the requests that I had for my future employers. So when I thought about another lateral move, Alan was my first and only call. For all these reasons, I highly recommend Alan to attorneys looking for a lateral opportunity.
