    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Xiaochen C. joined Davis Wright Tremaine LLP's Los Angeles office.

    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!!

    Why talk to Kate Reder Sheikh?

    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. She was very responsive, and there was no question too small or insignificant. She uses her extensive experience to give reasoned and thoughtful advice. On a personal level, she is very fun to talk to and I really enjoyed our conversations!

    Ed Hossain

    Legal Recruiter

    Long Ridge Partners

    Why talk to Ed Hossain?

    Alec Zatirka joined Davis Wright Tremaine LLP'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.

    Why talk to Summer Eberhard?

    Wilson X. Hall joined Davis Wright Tremaine LLP's San Francisco office in the Corporate group.

    I had a pleasant experience working with Summer. I worked with Summer over the span of a couple months and Summer reached out to me immediately when a position that fit my desires and experience opened up. Summer was very responsive and I believe her industry connections coupled with her law firm relationships lead to a favorable outcome for my transition. Based on our conversations, Summer told me that I would be in great hands at my current firm and she was right. I trust Summer’s advocacy and word and would work with Summer again in the future.
