Kate is the person you want in your corner if you’re planning to go through the stresses that are a lateral move. Not only are her deep connections in the market immediately evident (we were instantly in contact with the select few firms I had on my list), but she strives to ensure her clients are supported and heard. She exerts considerable effort to humanize the process, and clearly cares about your well-being. Add that on top of her impressive technical skills—e.g., conducting mock interviews, helping with cover letters, answering frantic text messages—and you have an outstanding recruiter. I could not have chosen a better person to help with my move.

Working with Priya during my job search was a fantastic experience. Her knowledge of and connections in the industry, combined with her attention to detail and organization, made the lateral process as painless as possible. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and goes above and beyond to make sure you find the perfect role. You’re in good hands with Priya.

I worked with Andrea when it came time to leave my prior law firm. Having spent my first five years as a lawyer with the firm I was leaving, I was a bit nervous about exploring the market and knew that I wanted to land somewhere that would meet my specific criteria (location, pay, meaningful work, opportunity to grow, good people, etc.). Andrea helped calm my nerves and educated me on the market and my best options. She also held my hand through the application/interview stages and then helped me negotiate once I received an offer, which was an incredibly beneficial service. I whole-heartedly recommend her.

Dale was phenomenal in helping me secure the next step in my career! He was thoughtful, insightful, and encouraging throughout.

Khurram helped me with a lateral move in the IP litigation space. Overall, he is talented, knowledgeable, and understanding. He takes the time to understand where you're looking to improve, put together a plan, and guide you through each step. I'd strongly recommend him for anyone looking to understand their options as they move forward in their career. Most importantly, I felt that Khurram was my advocate throughout the process. He gives you the space to consider your options without any pressure, and he advocates for your best interests when talking to firms. Keep it up, Khurram!

Zsaleh is fantastic. I cannot recommend her enough. Amidst the chaos of billing 250-hour months, it felt like moving firms was impossible. However, Zsaleh made it possible with her attention to detail, great communication, and excellent follow-up. She carefully tailored her job recommendations to what I wanted so I could efficiently decide where to apply. She was also extremely supportive of me being picky about where to apply and I knew she had (and still has) my best interest at heart. Finally, Zsaleh is so warm, kind, and friendly—you will feel comfortable around her immediately, which is critical in such a stressful process. I’ve recommended her to several friends and am doing the same here. Thank you again, Zsaleh!

Ed is a fantastic recruiter and different from the rest. Instead of simply blasting openings in the industry looking for people of my class year and background, Ed listened to the specific particulars of what I was looking for in my next opportunity. As a result we collaborated on a select number of firms and Ed eventually helped me land my current role. I'm extremely happy here and it's as a result of Ed's efforts throughout the entire process. Ed is professional and cool under pressure at the same time; we were able to make this a fun and exciting journey. I'd highly recommend (and have recommended) Ed to anyone looking for the next stop in their legal journey!

I worked with Max this past summer to help place me in my current role, and I highly recommend him. Max is probably one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with during my career. He provided a very personalized approach - one that I haven’t seen from many recruiters. Max took the time to genuinely understand my career goals and then sent me quality leads based on these very specific goals. He was available at all times of the day for check-ins and always super responsive. After every interview, he would follow up on how it went and then follow up with the firm as well. If you’re looking for your next position, and want to work with a recruiter that is professional, personable and warm - I highly recommend Max for your search!

Summer helped me navigate the west coast legal market as a foreign attorney which was a challenge with my practice. She gave great insights on the market to steer me in the right direction and even worked with me in putting my materials together. Most importantly, she was extremely responsive and managed my expectations along the journey. I am thankful to her for helping me transition to the US market.

Ren was great to work with. I was under no pressure to leave my prior firm and relatively new to the process, and Ren tailored his approach to my situation and worked with me to find the best opportunities. From our first conversation, he was proactive, invested and diligent in keeping things moving across the board. From market knowledge to interview advice, his insights and experience proved very helpful and contributed to a smooth and straightforward transition. I’m very grateful to Ren for his role in the process.

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

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!

Greg made the lateral process easy and pleasant. At no point in the process did I ever feel like just another applicant. Greg listened to what I wanted and personalized the experience. I would absolutely recommend Greg for your lateral search.

Alan is not just a recruiter to me but my trusted confidant and friend. Alan has worked with me on two lateral moves and each time he had my complete trust. Alan earned my trust by demonstrating that he was listening to me--something I value highly. When I was planning my first lateral move, other recruiters tried to sell me what they had and not what I wanted from my next firm. But Alan provided me with options that fit my requirements. Alan is also dependable. Besides the big things like interview prep and offer negotiation, Alan kept his commitment in even the most routine but important things, like keeping me informed, calling at the scheduled time, and providing me with detailed data to help me with my decisions. Alan candidly discussed the options I had and was never pushy. Advice he gave me about my options was consistent with the advice I got from several seasoned lawyers. Finally, at offer time, Alan zealously advocated for the requests that I had for my future employers. So when I thought about another lateral move, Alan was my first and only call. For all these reasons, I highly recommend Alan to attorneys looking for a lateral opportunity.

I had the pleasure of working with Kally, and she demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication. She was incredibly proactive in understanding my needs and consistently provided timely updates throughout the process. Kally's deep knowledge of the legal industry was evident in the opportunities she presented, which were well-aligned with my requirements. She offered valuable insights and guided me through each step.

Lavinia is a great recruiter to work with. She tried to understand my needs and was patient while working with me as it took us several months before she could find me the firm that suites my needs the best. I couldn’t have asked her to find me the better place to work for. I’m very happy with the transition and the hard work she provided. I highly recommend working with her.

I greatly enjoyed working with Evan and enthusiastically recommend him to lateral associates navigating career transitions. Evan worked closely with me to refine my resume, explain my desire to shift practice areas, and prepare for interviews. He is honest but encouraging,responsive and proactive. Evan is extremely knowledgeable and I was consistently impressed with his guidance. Don’t hesitate to work with Evan!

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.

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.

Austin helped me secure my current lateral associate role that is a great fit for me. From the beginning of the process, Austin was communicative, responsive, candid, and helpful. I’ve worked with a number of recruiters and Austin was one of, if not the most impressive in terms of his connections in the industry. I would happily recommend him and work with him again.
