Priya is an exceptional recruiter. She is professional, remarkably organized, and extremely well connected. These characteristics made me trust Priya initially, but she proved herself to be eons above the rest in many other ways. Priya is quick to go the extra mile again and again. She edited my resume and advised on all submissions, prepared me for interviews with candid feedback, researched each firm and each interviewer, and offered to connect me with her friends and colleagues for further information gathering. She clearly understands the big law market inside and out, which put me at ease. Most importantly, I felt supported during the recruitment process and ended up at a dream firm. I am endlessly grateful to Priya for her services and her friendship through one of the biggest decisions of my life. After working with multiple other recruiters for a few weeks before meeting Priya, I can say with certainty that Priya's craft and expertise stands out in the best way. I highly recommend Priya without question. Her counsel and dedication is invaluable, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you, Priya!

Kate reached out to me initially on a position I ultimately decided not to apply for, but we continued to stay in touch. I waffled on whether to make a move for several months. Kate was a sounding board for what other possibilities there were and helped me drill down on what was important in my next role. She was great about returning texts, emails, and calls, and she would get in contact immediately if she saw something she believed would be a good fit. Kate also helped me prepare for interviews and put my best foot forward. Once the offer came she gave an honest assessment on what was worth negotiating and how to do it— a huge value add for someone who is early in their career. Kate spent months talking with me before we found the right thing. She isn’t transactional, but rather invested in individuals she sees potential in and truly wants the right fit for them. Especially as someone young, first gen, and of the COVID law school generation navigating the challenging legal market, having someone to prep you and give the extra edge in interviews took a lot of stress out of the process and allowed me to focus on fit. Kate’s knowledge of different teams and working styles also helped me to feel confident in my decision to move after landing the offer. I couldn’t recommend her more!

I worked with Dale to find an opportunity in the biglaw market and I'm so glad I did. Dale came recommended to me from a friend/colleague. Dale was kind and personable from the start. He listened to my needs and wants when discussing the type of opportunity I was interested in. Throughout the interview process, Dale offered extremely helpful tips and advice that I would not have had if I did not work with him. He is super knowledgeable and has a keen ability to find job seekers a perfect fit. He was honest when he described certain opportunities and work cultures--which I really appreciated! I did not feel the pushy-ness that some other legal recruiters may exude onto candidates. I could tell he is also very well-respected by firms that he recruits candidates to, which is super helpful. He was in constant communication with me through the whole process. Dale is a real professional. I am so happy to have met and worked with Dale, and have already referred him to several friends looking for opportunities. Thank you, Dale!

Ed is a fantastic recruiter and different from the rest. Instead of simply blasting openings in the industry looking for people of my class year and background, Ed listened to the specific particulars of what I was looking for in my next opportunity. As a result we collaborated on a select number of firms and Ed eventually helped me land my current role. I'm extremely happy here and it's as a result of Ed's efforts throughout the entire process. Ed is professional and cool under pressure at the same time; we were able to make this a fun and exciting journey. I'd highly recommend (and have recommended) Ed to anyone looking for the next stop in their legal journey!

Summer helped me navigate the west coast legal market as a foreign attorney which was a challenge with my practice. She gave great insights on the market to steer me in the right direction and even worked with me in putting my materials together. Most importantly, she was extremely responsive and managed my expectations along the journey. I am thankful to her for helping me transition to the US market.

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.

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.
