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.

Alan is an exceptional recruiter. Throughout the process, he was hands-on, highly diligent and refreshingly down-to-earth. 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.

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.

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!

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.

Max was super responsive and targeted in his approach. He brought opportunities to me and listened to feedback to seek out additional opportunities that may not have been available at first glance. He was a pleasure to work with!

I was recommended by another attorney to work with Vijay as they had an outstanding experience working with him. He by far exceeded my expectations. I let him know that I was hoping to lateral quickly, and Vijay helped me find an opportunity that fit both my career goals and my time frame. He helped in all stages of the process, including talking through what I was hoping to achieve in a move, discussing the market for the position I was looking for, assisting in interview preparation and helping me decide on the place that would be the best fit for me. I never felt like I was not in good hands as a result of Vijay's expertise and work ethic. He was responsive, honest and supportive throughout the entire process. I would recommend anyone looking for a move to work with Vijay.

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!

Andrew is great! He's very knowledgeable, quick to respond, and will help you navigate the lateral legal market! 10/10 would recommend.

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!

Rhea is an amazing professional. She helped me find and obtain a very bespoke opportunity. From preparation to negotiation, she remained communicative and supportive throughout the process. She is incredibly transparent and has her candidate’s best interest always at heart; I never felt pressured to do or accept anything. I highly recommend working with Rhea. She is both a great professional resource and a great person to work with.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Ren while making a lateral switch to my new law firm. He was always responsive and attentive to my questions/needs, and had incredibly helpful advice throughout the process. I would highly recommend Ren to anyone looking to make a move.

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. She was honest about my chances from the beginning which really helped manage my expectations. I changed directions a couple times with where I wanted to be located and this was no problem for Kate. She really listened to what I was looking for and used my feedback to find interesting opportunities. Throughout the interview process, she would always check in. And even during onboarding she would check in to ask if I needed anything. Kate helped me find a job that I both wanted and liked! Very happy with how things turned out and I would definitely recommend Kate!!

Austin worked diligently and closely with me in securing my very exciting new role. Throughout our relationship, Austin thoughtfully engaged in discussions regarding all aspects of the interview and acceptance process while sharing valuable insight and advice. He and his hard work are very much appreciated.

George was great to work with. He was responsive and knowledgeable about the market. His insights helped manage all expectations involved. Unlike many recruiters, George was genuine, and not overly aggressive or pushy. I felt at all times that George had my best interest in mind.

Jessica placed me in my current position at DLA Piper. She made the job search easy. Jessica is very professional and responsive. I highly recommend working with her in the future.

Jason is a fantastic recruiter who helped me lateral between markets. He’s extremely responsive and does a great job placing candidates in roles where they can succeed. I highly recommend working with him.

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.

I worked with Bally on my move from London to New York. Bally was excellent to work with - responsive, attentive to what I was asking for and very personable. I was able to run through what kind of role I was looking for and she helped me narrow down a great list of opportunities and carved out an unposted role for me. I felt comfortable and supported on every step of my journey and cannot recommend Bally highly enough!

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!

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.
