    Why talk to Evan Fox?

    Melissa Meyer Greenwood joined Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP's New York City office in the Acquisition Finance group.

    Evan was very helpful in navigating the lateral market for my transition. I was very specific about my search and the criteria for my new shop. Evan listened to my requirements and created a bespoke set of targets (rather than the standard list). Given his relationship with individuals at these firms, I was able to have informal talks to understand which firm would be best for me. I was also on parental leave during my search and he was understanding and compassionate in navigating all my life changes. I am happily at my new firm and thankful for Evan's work.

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.
