    Alec Zatirka joined DWT’s Seattle office in the Litigation group.

    Ed was referred to me by one of my close friends and I in turn have referred him to several of my friends. This is for good reason. Ed is an exceptional recruiter who was able to get me multiple interviews in a harder to break in to secondary market. And even though he was getting me interviews with firms, he was also supportive of my efforts to apply to firms independently. Ed gave me candid, helpful advice on my prospects, but at no point did I feel like he was pushing me to a firm that would not be a good fit for me. I am happy at the firm I am now at, which Ed got me an interview with, but if I ever want to make another career move I would not hesitate to reach out to Ed again.

    Neil Supnekar joined DWT’s New York City office in the Intellectual Property group.

    I worked with Jessica for about two months, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. In that short time, she helped me secure two offers. Jessica is organized, professional, and incredibly responsive, warm, and personable. She provided thoughtful advice and was a true partner in navigating decisions and negotiations. Her patent prosecution experience was valuable for navigating interview processes. I would not hesitate to recommend Jessica to anyone searching for a new patent role.

    Working with Priya was one of the best career decisions I’ve ever made. She is incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, kind, honest, and provided unbelievably valuable guidance during my job search process. Priya’s work process is transparent, efficient, and tailored to the needs of each individual candidate. I genuinely felt that Priya prioritised my goals and interests above all else, and did not push me into pursuing opportunities that she did not believe would be a good fit. Priya is also extremely responsive and perceptive, which gave me much needed peace of mind during this stressful process. I HIGHLY recommend Priya to all legal professionals looking for a career change. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Priya!!

    Kate is a great resource and advisor, and I can’t recommend her enough. She is extremely knowledgeable and well-positioned to advise on opportunities in the Bay Area.

On a personal level, she is very fun to talk to and I really enjoyed our conversations!
