    Why talk to Bryson Malcolm?

    Dominique Jones joined Paul Hastings LLP's New York City office in the Litigation group.

    Working with Bryson was a seamless process. After our first meeting he sent me a personalized spreadsheet of open positions that matched my interests, and sending regular updates for new openings. As we prepped for interviews, Bryson went above and beyond to provide me with information for each person I would be meeting with in one consolidated email. He highlighted important information that he thought would be most interesting and relevant to me for my meetings. He also summarized the firms' statistics, with a welcome emphasis on diversity statistics. Bryson has spent hours compiling statistics on the top law firms' diversity numbers, and this knowledge shows! Bryson handled all of the communications with firms for me, and was quick at scheduling interviews, and keeping all the firms I was interviewing with aware of my other options. I believe this helped me receive multiple offers in a short time frame. When I was weighing these options, Bryson reached out to his network of peers and friends for additional information on lifestyle and culture. All in all, Bryson goes the extra mile in his role as recruiter. I felt confident that he was preparing me to the highest degree for my interviews and callbacks. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you Bryson!

    Katya Stynes joined Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP's New York City office in the Litigation group.

    I *highly* recommend working with Ed in your lateral search. Ed went above and beyond the standard listings (that every recruiter can arrange for you) to land on a truly unique and perfect opportunity, and then worked creatively and proactively to help me get the position. I'm now in exactly the team and practice area I hoped to end up in (a tiny niche area that I didn't think was realistic to find) and Ed was crucial in that process.

    Legal Recruiter

    Veritas Legal Consulting, LLC

    Why talk to Steven G. Weiler?

    Ryan Migeed joined Mayer Brown LLP's District of Columbia office in the Litigation group.

    There are so many reasons I would recommend working with Steven as you take the next steps in your legal career. Above all, I appreciated Steven’s knowledge, personal touch, and respect for the ways in which I wanted to shape my career as we worked together to find my next step. Steven has a deep knowledge of the legal market and an active “rolodex” of contacts who trust his judgment when he recommends candidates for open roles. These are reasons enough to entrust your next career move to Steven’s guidance, but Steven is also a joy to work with, someone who will get to know you as a person and will help bring out your best qualities as an applicant. Steven is there for you every step of the process. Lateraling can be daunting and questions undoubtedly arise. Steven was a trusted confidant and I always felt comfortable seeking his advice. He never forgets the person behind the application; in fact, he works to draw that person out so that they can put their best foot forward, confident in who they are and how they fit into a new role. Steven helped me build the confidence to take the next step in my career. He also checks in with you. You are never left hanging or waiting to learn information from him. He will keep you as informed as he is. He is your partner in the process, not someone who simply clicks “submit” when your application is ready. Perhaps most importantly, while he is a steady guide throughout the process, Steven also respects your choices and redlines and the ways in which you want to shape your career. He listens when you explain what you are looking for and he remembers details. If you want to remove particular roles from consideration because of the direction in which you are trying to drive your career, he accepts and respects those considerations. He does not push you to make a deal or accept an offer simply because it’s there. He wants the best fit for you just as much as you do. I highly recommend working with Steven to take the next step in your legal career.

    Priya helped me when I moved between firms. It was my first lateral move and the thought of having to update my resume for the first time since law school and preparing for interviews was daunting, but Priya made everything unbelievably easy for me. She was willing to work with my busy schedule and worked overtime to make sure I was fully prepared for my interview. She was available for me throughout the day and night, and even on weekends. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking to move between firms and will reach out to her again if I decide I need another move!

    Ramsey Werner Scofield joined Linklaters's New York City office in the Restructuring group.

    I had an excellent time working with Amanda, who recently helped place me at an international law firm. She was extremely professional and responsive. Amanda really took an interest getting to know me as a candidate, and was genuinely interested in hearing and understanding my goals and feedback. I felt Amanda was a strong advocate for me in the process when she could tell that I would be a good fit at a firm, and was always providing encouragement in the process when I needed it. She always offered a lot of very useful information about the roles I was interviewing for. She was very proactive in providing updates about the market which she shared even without me having to ask. I would easily recommend Amanda.

With Alan advocating for me, I felt confident that I would secure the right placement on my own terms. His extensive knowledge of the market, the recruiting process and the key players was truly impressive. While I hope I never need his services again, I would not hesitate for a moment to work with him in the future.

They were thoughtful, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about the legal market. Throughout the process, Kally provided clear guidance, communicated proactively, and demonstrated a strong understanding of both the technical aspects of the role and the broader strategic fit. She not only understands the legal market very well, but also takes the time to understand the needs, goals, and qualities of each candidate.

    Legal Placement Consultants LLC

    Why talk to Susan Belardi?

    Regina L. DeSantis joined Cooley LLP's District of Columbia office in the Health Care group.

    If you are looking to make a lateral move, or even just thinking about it, you need to speak with Susan. When you work with Susan, you don’t simply get a recruiter—you get a consultant, a mentor, a counselor, and a friend. Susan’s knowledge of the legal market knows no limits, and she has expertise that can only be acquired from years of being at the top of her field. Moreover, Susan is an absolute delight to work with, and her positivity and enthusiasm make the process enjoyable! From my first phone call with Susan, it was clear that she is in a class all her own. Susan took the time to discuss my background, listen to my priorities and career goals, and get to know me as a person. I am a regulatory health attorney, and my practice area is very specific. Susan never pushed me toward a role for the sake of it—instead, Susan sought my input to make sure that we focused on my exact area of health law. Susan is 100% invested in her candidates, and it shows. She coached me through each step, from perfecting my resume to rigorously preparing me for every single interview. Susan's dedication to her candidates goes above and beyond professional guidance and mentorship—she always made time for me, no matter how seemingly minor my question might have been, and she remained engaged and accessible throughout the process. Thanks to Susan, I am in the perfect role. I am grateful that Susan was my recruiter and legal placement consultant, and I am even more fortunate to call her my mentor and friend. I cannot recommend Susan highly enough!

    Legal Recruiter

    Sterling Clark Group

    Why talk to Vijay Sandal, Esq.?

    Niven Hemraj, Esq. joined Holland & Knight LLP's District of Columbia office in the Tax group.

    There are few opportunities in a professional career that rise to the level that is working with Vijay Sandal from Sterling Clark Group. Vijay’s guidance, dedication, and experience helped me to secure a lucrative lateral offer in a deeply challenging economic environment. Vijay approached me with opportunities for roles in the legal industry I thought beyond my capabilities at the level I was in my career. I often struggle to understand the worth I can bring to the table, and Vijay not only reassured me, but helped to show me the universe of what I could achieve. Not only that, he did so with a pragmatic outlook to help prepare me for the landscape ahead. Vijay’s shrewd intellect and deep understanding of the legal market paid significant dividends in navigating potential opportunities, and nailing a role that synchronized perfectly with me. Vijay is wise, and energetic. He is confident, yet humble. He is attentive without being overbearing. He effectively guides candidates without holding their hand. He allows a candidate to shine on their own, while enhancing their value with his advice. His attention and care to each candidate allowed for a resounding success throughout the interview process and beyond. At every anxious chokehold, Vijay was there to not only comfort, but to temper any concerns with thoughtful realism. He became a soundboard to prepare with the right blend of caution, optimism, confidence, and humility. Vijay’s strategic approach to the lateral process in the legal field is second to none. His effort in understanding candidates led to finding synergies across industries. If the phrase “finding the right fit” had a symbol, it would be Vijay. Vijay goes beyond merely advocating for his clients. He prepares candidates for every conceivable issue, and curveball while also providing a sober risk assessment for all outcomes, even the ones I could not anticipate. Even after interviews concluded, Vijay was there to debrief and walk through every detail to understand where we stood, and what the best next steps would be. He truly is a master of his craft, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. I could not be happier with the results of working with him.

    Dong (Danny) Min joined McDermott Will & Schulte's New York City office in the Real Estate group.

    Priya helped me when I moved between firms. It was my first lateral move and the thought of having to update my resume for the first time since law school and preparing for interviews was daunting, but Priya made everything unbelievably easy for me. She was willing to work with my busy schedule and worked overtime to make sure I was fully prepared for my interview. She was available for me throughout the day and night, and even on weekends. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking to move between firms and will reach out to her again if I decide I need another move!

    Ramsey Werner Scofield joined Linklaters's New York City office in the Restructuring group.

    I had an excellent time working with Amanda, who recently helped place me at an international law firm. She was extremely professional and responsive. Amanda really took an interest getting to know me as a candidate, and was genuinely interested in hearing and understanding my goals and feedback. I felt Amanda was a strong advocate for me in the process when she could tell that I would be a good fit at a firm, and was always providing encouragement in the process when I needed it. She always offered a lot of very useful information about the roles I was interviewing for. She was very proactive in providing updates about the market which she shared even without me having to ask. I would easily recommend Amanda.

    Why talk to Susan Belardi?

    Regina L. DeSantis joined Cooley LLP's District of Columbia office in the Health Care group.

    If you are looking to make a lateral move, or even just thinking about it, you need to speak with Susan. When you work with Susan, you don’t simply get a recruiter—you get a consultant, a mentor, a counselor, and a friend. Susan’s knowledge of the legal market knows no limits, and she has expertise that can only be acquired from years of being at the top of her field. Moreover, Susan is an absolute delight to work with, and her positivity and enthusiasm make the process enjoyable! From my first phone call with Susan, it was clear that she is in a class all her own. Susan took the time to discuss my background, listen to my priorities and career goals, and get to know me as a person. I am a regulatory health attorney, and my practice area is very specific. Susan never pushed me toward a role for the sake of it—instead, Susan sought my input to make sure that we focused on my exact area of health law. Susan is 100% invested in her candidates, and it shows. She coached me through each step, from perfecting my resume to rigorously preparing me for every single interview. Susan's dedication to her candidates goes above and beyond professional guidance and mentorship—she always made time for me, no matter how seemingly minor my question might have been, and she remained engaged and accessible throughout the process. Thanks to Susan, I am in the perfect role. I am grateful that Susan was my recruiter and legal placement consultant, and I am even more fortunate to call her my mentor and friend. I cannot recommend Susan highly enough!

    Why talk to Vijay Sandal, Esq.?

    Niven Hemraj, Esq. joined Holland & Knight LLP's District of Columbia office in the Tax group.

    There are few opportunities in a professional career that rise to the level that is working with Vijay Sandal from Sterling Clark Group. Vijay’s guidance, dedication, and experience helped me to secure a lucrative lateral offer in a deeply challenging economic environment. Vijay approached me with opportunities for roles in the legal industry I thought beyond my capabilities at the level I was in my career. I often struggle to understand the worth I can bring to the table, and Vijay not only reassured me, but helped to show me the universe of what I could achieve. Not only that, he did so with a pragmatic outlook to help prepare me for the landscape ahead. Vijay’s shrewd intellect and deep understanding of the legal market paid significant dividends in navigating potential opportunities, and nailing a role that synchronized perfectly with me. Vijay is wise, and energetic. He is confident, yet humble. He is attentive without being overbearing. He effectively guides candidates without holding their hand. He allows a candidate to shine on their own, while enhancing their value with his advice. His attention and care to each candidate allowed for a resounding success throughout the interview process and beyond. At every anxious chokehold, Vijay was there to not only comfort, but to temper any concerns with thoughtful realism. He became a soundboard to prepare with the right blend of caution, optimism, confidence, and humility. Vijay’s strategic approach to the lateral process in the legal field is second to none. His effort in understanding candidates led to finding synergies across industries. If the phrase “finding the right fit” had a symbol, it would be Vijay. Vijay goes beyond merely advocating for his clients. He prepares candidates for every conceivable issue, and curveball while also providing a sober risk assessment for all outcomes, even the ones I could not anticipate. Even after interviews concluded, Vijay was there to debrief and walk through every detail to understand where we stood, and what the best next steps would be. He truly is a master of his craft, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. I could not be happier with the results of working with him.

His advice and guidance made the experience very smooth and his positivity throughout made the transition much less daunting. I would not have been able to make the move without his help!
