    Allison is one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with - she is super hardworking, on top of it no matter what, and very helpful with interview prep / industry knowledge. It was great working with her!

    Why talk to Ed Hossain?

    Michael Pelle joined Cooley LLP's New York City office in the Tax group.

    Ed went above and beyond to help me land the exact lateral position I wanted. He was able to get my initial questions answered on a no-names basis, and was a constant source of support once the interview process was underway (and was very responsive to calls or texts, even on weekends or while traveling). His resume help, from formatting to curating my deal sheet, was the best I’ve ever received. I was surprised (and grateful) at how closely he reviewed every detail, and it’s a testament to how much he cares about his applicants. In short, Ed was a true partner in the lateral process, and was at all times honest, smart, and genuinely fun to work with.
