Resource Attorney – Private Companies

I had the pleasure of working with Evan during my recent job search for my lateral move from NYC to Boston. Evan's expertise and dedication were instrumental in helping me secure a fantastic opportunity. Throughout the entire process, Evan was highly responsive, and his professionalism and commitment were evident in his proactive communication and assistance in preparation for interviews. Evan provided valuable insights and guidance, which greatly contributed to my confidence and success during the interview process. Most of all, I appreciated Evan candor and honesty. He took the time to learn about my career objectives and find a firm that was the best fit for me.

When I engaged Khurram and Freshwater Counsel, I came in with a very short target list of firms in a challenging market, and they helped me secure competing offers from that list. I understand from friends’ lateral experiences that such precision is rare in the lateral market. What impressed me most was how skillfully Khurram managed the negotiation phase. Salary, bonus, and timing are always sensitive issues, and it can be a challenge to advocate for yourself without souring the relationship with a future employer before you even start. Khurram handled these conversations with exactly the right balance of persistence and diplomacy, ensuring I landed on terms that reflected my priorities while leaving the firms genuinely excited to bring me on board. I cannot recommend Freshwater Counsel highly enough to anyone looking to make a thoughtful, strategic lateral move in big law. Khurram, Jared and the Freshwater team make a daunting process feel targeted, efficient, and ultimately successful.
