Jr-Mid Level Fund Formation & Investment Management Associate – Boston

I can't speak highly enough of Evan and his work ethic. He is diligent, communicative, hard-working and personable. From strategy, to preparation, to execution, we were in constant contact throughout the entire process. More than anything, however, I appreciated his practical and candid career advice. He has his finger on the pulse of the market and fully understands the individual goals of each client. Truly top notch.

Greg was a huge asset to me as I navigated big law recruiting. He was always available to answer my questions and provided excellent advice as I navigated both my interviews as well as my decision once I had received offers. He is very knowledgeable about current trends in legal recruiting and was well-aware of how to tailor my candidacy for different firms' cultures. I could not have navigated this process without his help and would strongly recommend his services to other attorneys looking to make a move in this market.

Jack helped place me in my current role and was great to work with throughout the interviewing and hiring process. He was very empathetic, communicative and professional, and took the time to fully understand my career goals. I’m very appreciative for his guidance, and recommend him for other attorneys who are looking to make a move.

Kally was an absolute pleasure to work with during the transition that led to my lateral move to Winston & Strawn LLP. From our first conversation, it was evident that she possessed a deep understanding of the legal market. She took a highly strategic and personalized approach to help me evaluate multiple opportunities. Her insights into firm culture, practice group dynamics, and market trends were instrumental in preparing me effectively for each stage of the process. Beyond her expertise, Kally was exceptionally responsive, supportive, proactive, and a trusted advisor. She assisted me with resume and interview prep, offer negotiation, and took the time to understand my goals. Throughout the process, she ensured that I felt confident and informed. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to any attorney exploring their next move.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Bryson. We went to law school together so I already know he is a person of integrity and kindness. He has been very thoughtful, accommodating, responsive and supportive throughout the process. I cannot recommend working with him more!

Rebecca is a fantastic recruiter and advisor. At each step of my elongated lateral process, Rebecca was an incredible advocate who always put my best interest at the forefront. It was also clear to me that Rebecca has a strong hold on the legal market, enabling her to find the perfect fit for my long term career goals. I’m grateful for Rebecca (and the MLA team at large) for all of her hard work on my process.

I wholeheartedly recommend Brandon. He helped me achieve what many said couldn’t be done, which was landing my dream position in the sports world. His guidance, persistence, and confidence in me created an opportunity that changed my career path. Brandon is the most responsive and genuine recruiter I have worked with. I could not be more grateful.

When I engaged Khurram and Freshwater Counsel, I came in with a very short target list of firms in a challenging market, and they helped me secure competing offers from that list. I understand from friends’ lateral experiences that such precision is rare in the lateral market. What impressed me most was how skillfully Khurram managed the negotiation phase. Salary, bonus, and timing are always sensitive issues, and it can be a challenge to advocate for yourself without souring the relationship with a future employer before you even start. Khurram handled these conversations with exactly the right balance of persistence and diplomacy, ensuring I landed on terms that reflected my priorities while leaving the firms genuinely excited to bring me on board. I cannot recommend Freshwater Counsel highly enough to anyone looking to make a thoughtful, strategic lateral move in big law. Khurram, Jared and the Freshwater team make a daunting process feel targeted, efficient, and ultimately successful.

Allison is one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with - she is super hardworking, on top of it no matter what, and very helpful with interview prep / industry knowledge. It was great working with her!
