Mid-Level M&A Associate – Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, New York, Salt Lake City, or Washington, DC

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.

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.

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!

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.

Rhea is a consummate professional. She masterfully guided me through the lateral process with her exceptional responsiveness and targeted strategy based on our conversations. Her effectiveness, thoroughness, and thoughtfulness were on clear display as she helped me secure my new role. I can't recommend Rhea enough if you're considering a lateral 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!

Darin is a top-notch recruiter who helped make my dream job a reality. His invaluable knowledge of the legal market and the resources from Major, Lindsey & Africa that he brings to his candidates is superb. Darin goes above and beyond to respond to any and all inquiries and to understand his candidates in order to find the right placement. He will become your biggest cheerleader as well as a trusted advisor. I highly recommend working with Darin.

Priya went above and beyond for me during my search for an associate attorney position. She has a fantastic grasp of the big law market, and was able to find positions that fit well with my personal goals and aspirations. She also made herself available to me 24/7 to provide constructive feedback, advice, and her honest opinions. I would not have been able to navigate the grueling interview process without Priya by my side every step of the way. I cannot recommend her services enough!

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!

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

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!!

In preparing for my lateral move, I had a lot of questions about the logistics of the process and how to prepare for interviews. Khurram was very helpful during the experience because he was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable on the lateral market. 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!

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 would highly recommend Steven to any attorney looking to make a lateral move. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the markets in which he places attorneys, he was also very knowledgeable about my area of practice (business immigration), which is a quality I’ve not seen in other recruiters I’ve communicated with previously. He has incredibly valuable insights into the entire recruitment process - from finessing a resume, to preparing for different rounds of interviews, to accepting an offer, to giving notice to your current employer. I felt so supported throughout the entire process, and Steven was always available for a call or to quickly answer a text or email when I had any questions or concerns. Steven also took the time to really get to know me as a person and professional, ensuring that I didn’t just find a new role, but a role, practice group, and firm that were a great fit for me and my professional goals. The lateral process can be intimidating and a bit unnerving, but Steven’s encouragement and guidance made the process much easier to navigate. I am so grateful for his support throughout the process, and his continued support as I transition into my new role. Thank you so much, Steven!

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!
