    Regina L. DeSantis joined Cooley’s District of Columbia office in the Health Care group.

    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!

    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.
