    Why talk to Alice Lingo?

    Andrew Vazquez joined Cozen O'Connor's New York City office in the Litigation group.

    Alice was really great and super responsive to my interests in a new law firm. She quickly helped me get interviews due to the extensive connections she has throughout the legal space. Alice instantly knew what firms would be a good fit for what I was looking for and did not try to push me into applying for positions I didn't want. I highly recommend Alice to anyone looking for a recruiter!

    Why talk to Darin Morgan?

    Kara Cheever joined Cozen O'Connor's Philadelphia office in the Litigation group.

    When I was relocating to Philly from New York, Darin helped me find a placement. I was looking for a firm that would give me a good work-life balance as a new mother, and a community of great and kind people to work with. As I went through the interview process and received various offers, Darin was incredibly informative and helpful, offering unbiased advice every step of the way. I could not be happier with the experience and where I ended up -- no small part due to Darin! Highly recommend working with him!
