    Why talk to Vijay Sandal, Esq.?

    Ally Kaleita joined Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian LLP's New York City office in the Corporate group.

    From my very first phone call with Vijay, I knew that he was a sharp professional, had an extensive understanding of the legal market, and was someone I would feel comfortable working with throughout my lateral career search. Over the course of a few weeks, Vijay truly became a coach, a teammate, and a confidant all in one. Vijay made sure I was extremely well prepared for each step of the process. He spent a lot of time talking me through the logistics, answering my questions, and strategizing with me. More importantly, during every conversation with Vijay, I felt supported and guided. When I had to make tough decisions, Vijay was there to bounce ideas off of, to help me work through my thoughts, and to offer his insight. Vijay’s impressive knowledge of and experience with the legal profession make him a great recruiter, but what really sets him apart is his ability to connect with people on a level that goes deeper than the surface. I truly felt like Vijay cared about me, my future, and my goals. He went above and beyond to make my experience as positive and successful as possible. I highly recommend Vijay to anyone who is considering making a career move in the legal field. I wholeheartedly believe that working with Vijay is the best decision you can make. I am so grateful to have worked with him and am very thankful for all that he did to help me pursue my dreams.
