    Why talk to Gregory Gambill?

    Rachael Walker joined Goodwin Procter LLP's Boston office in the Corporate group.

    I honestly cannot recommend Greg enough. I had a few specific concerns I wanted to address in my lateral move. Greg helped me prioritize positions that met the criteria I was looking for, and was candid about positions he didn't think would help me meet my career goals. He also gave invaluable advice for the interviews themselves. I'm not great at interviewing, and I honestly don't think I would have got the position I did without his guidance. I couldn't be happier with my move!
