    Legal Recruiter

    Long Ridge Partners

    Why talk to Evan Fox?

    W. Soren Kreider IV joined Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP's New York City office in the Corporate group.

    I highly recommend Evan. I worked with Evan for nearly 3 years as an associate, and then counsel, at my prior firm. Evan was a consummate professional, always available and a real asset to me in my career search. At every juncture, it always felt like Evan had my best interests at heart, even as I decided initially to stay in my current firm and pursue an opportunity there. When it came time to pursue a role outside my firm, he had all the right contacts and relationships/resources to get me in front of key decisionmakers at all the most prestigious firms and was able to find and negotiate multiple job offers for me, even during a challenging lateral hiring window. I would highly recommend Evan, he is a great person to work with, is well respected in his field and by his clients and the firms he places them at, and he always keeps the interests of the candidate at the front of his mind throughout the process. I hope I don’t need his services again, but if I do, I know I will be in good hands.

With Alan advocating for me, I felt confident that I would secure the right placement on my own terms.

    Why talk to Ed Hossain?

    Tanner Wiethorn joined Latham & Watkins LLP's Houston office in the Corporate group.

    Ed was absolutely fantastic. When I was strongly considering new employment, Ed reached out and explained a new opportunity to me. He provided great insight into the firm, was very responsive and courteous throughout the entire process, and really went to bat for me during the negotiations. Moreover, his prep for the multiple interviews was key to focusing on what the firm was looking for and really gave me an edge and comfortability going in to those meetings. Beyond the substantive work, I think what sets Ed really apart is the time he took to slow things down and make sure that I was comfortable with the move and that the position was right for me, which I really appreciated. In the end, I got the job and I am very happy with the decision and I don't think I would be here without Ed's help. I can't recommend him enough!

    Kate helped me find a new job even when I felt I was an under-qualified candidate. I was not hopeful at all I would find something I wanted or liked.

    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Phillip Chang joined Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP's Houston office in the Finance group.

    Working with Priya was a uniquely pleasant experience. Any job search is stressful, and worrying that your chosen recruiter(s) do not have your best interests at heart is an added stressor that nobody needs. Priya used an extended intake session in order to ascertain the exact type of listings that would be most appropriate given my career goals. She has navigated the legal recruiting market extensively and brings that expertise to bear readily and transparently. Priya was hands-on and available at every step to make the process as painless as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend her for your legal job search needs.

She also gave me detailed profiles of each of my interviewers, which was awesome. Even after an offer came in, Rebecca was still "fighting" for me every step of the way, making sure my benefits and bonus would be commensurate with my expectations, and following up with the firm on conflicts, etcetera. Rebecca is so personable and kind, and I really felt like she made the whole experience so personalized to me and my resume/situation, which speaks volumes. Seriously can't recommend her enough!

He answered all my questions, prepped me for my interviews, and communicated with me through the entire process. At one point, I received a call back from a law firm that I did not believe would give me a call back due to me not attending a top law school. He not only coached me up but also fought for me to be classified with my law school graduation class year. I am so thankful our paths crossed. I would recommend him to any one I know.
