Carissa Olowos joined Greenberg Traurig’s Houston office in the Intellectual Property group.
I knew that I wanted to use my maternity leave as an opportunity to explore my interest in lateraling to another firm. Working with Khurram made the job search process easy. 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.

Lydia B. Cash joined Kirkland’s Austin office in the Intellectual Property group.
Rebecca is a FANTASTIC recruiter, and I can't recommend her enough. Her knowledge of the market is outstanding, and she really "takes care of" you - she is incredibly responsive and supportive, and she instills confidence every step of the way. Even in a rough lateral market, Rebecca made it happen. She followed up with firms weekly and gave me daily/weekly updates, and she made sure to communicate my unique experience and resume to firms. She was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable during the interview process, giving me great examples of interview questions that were personalized to my experience and resume. 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! Five star experience working with Rebecca!
