Why talk to Priya Gulati?
Benjamin Alred joined Latham & Watkins LLP's Bay Area office in the Intellectual Property group.
I was referred to Priya by a friend and former colleague and would eagerly give that referral to anyone else in the same situation. To be completely candid, I cannot imagine finding a better recruiter than Priya. I had worked with other recruiters in the past and heard experiences from colleagues, but I could not imagine someone adding as much value during the difficult process of changing positions as she did. She was so helpful and well organized during the entire process, all the while understanding the stress of performing a demanding job while trying to find better opportunities. She helped prepare application materials, performed mock interviews on weekends to accommodate my availability, and provided specific feedback and input to help me prepare for each and every interview and interviewer. Even little touches to make my life easier, like forwarding biographies and LinkedIn profiles of interviewers, Priya always provided without asking. When it came to the step of deciding between offers, she was once again an understanding advocate, helping me weigh different factors important to me and acting as an independent party who could negotiate on my behalf to make sure all my concerns were addressed. If anyone is unsure about finding the right recruiter who properly fits their needs or would like more specific details on just how wonderful Priya is to work with, I would encourage them to reach out to me further as I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Latham & Watkins LLP • Bay AreaWhy talk to Ed Hossain?
Avery Rux joined Latham & Watkins LLP's Los Angeles office in the Real Estate group.
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!

Latham & Watkins LLP • Los AngelesWhy talk to Dale Durham?
Matthew Powell joined Latham & Watkins LLP's San Diego office in the Project Development group.
Dale is the type of legal recruiter that truly goes the extra mile. When looking to move from New York City to Southern California, I was searching for expert guidance from someone who would provide key insights regarding the current legal market. Throughout the recruiting process, Dale provided the insight and advice that I was looking for to assist with the process of lateraling to another law firm. Dale’s level of responsiveness and industry knowledge not only differentiate him from other legal recruiters, but are also further re-enforced by his extensive knowledge of the legal market, particularly in the Southern California area. Further, in the very rare instances where he did not know the answer to something or needed additional insight, Dale is able to effectively utilize his resources and industry connections to get the answer to your question efficiently. Given his diverse experience, Dale also possesses a unique ability to relate to his clients, regardless of their varied backgrounds or interests. I can say with confidence that my recruiting process would not have been nearly as successful without his hard work, and I consider Dale a trusted advisor and friend. Accordingly, he has earned my highest recommendation.

Latham & Watkins LLP • San DiegoWhy talk to Kate Reder Sheikh?
Nitesh Daryanani joined Latham & Watkins LLP's San Francisco office in the Antitrust group.
Kate is a great legal recruiter—she is very familiar with law firms in the Bay Area and was a great resource during my transition. She provided helpful advice when I was contemplating a change and during the interview process. Her approach to recruiting as “matchmaking” earned my trust and I was extremely satisfied with the result.
