    Emmett Carrier joined Cooley’s San Francisco office in the Corporate group.

    Vijay was an invaluable teammate throughout my lateral process. From the start, Vijay displayed an impressive knowledge about both the larger legal marketplace as well as the nuances and intricacies pertaining to each target firm. His years of experience as both a practicing attorney and legal recruiter provide him with tremendous familiarity within the legal field. Vijay was exceptionally organized. From the beginning stages, he crafted a strategy and roadmap that helped alleviate the stresses that come with finding a new position. He aided me in brushing up on my interview skills, what questions to be prepared for, and how best to present my skillset. Throughout the entire process, Vijay was very candid and transparent in his thoughts and ideas for the best route forward. Vijay was quick to respond and seemingly always available for a chat. I never felt out of the loop or unsure about the next step. I would highly recommend Vijay if you are looking for any type of position in the legal field!
