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!

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.

I fortunately connected with Jack a few months into my job search in Charlotte. He worked promptly and efficiently from the outset. He identified a number of legitimate openings for me, before we landed on an ideal opportunity that we ultimately pursued in earnest. He wasted little time moving the process along and he did not distract our search with fruitless job postings. I appreciated his professionalism throughout the process, and would gladly recommend him to other attorneys searching for a new opportunity.

Jessica was phenomenal to work with while transitioning roles. She was attentive and provided helpful and encouraging feedback during the process. She’s continued to keep in contact even after my placement. I cannot recommend her enough!

Working with Vijay from Sterling Clark Group has been an incredibly positive and impactful experience. From the very beginning, Vijay was diligent, thoughtful, and strategic in helping me navigate the application process at an early stage in my career. With only one year of experience, I initially felt uncertain about which roles would realistically be within reach. Vijay took the time to carefully sort through options with me, explaining each potential role in detail and outlining how my background could align with different opportunities. He was transparent yet encouraging, helping me understand not only what I qualified for, but also where I could thoughtfully stretch myself. When we identified the role I ultimately secured, Vijay provided clear and strategic guidance on why it was the right fit. He broke down how my experience, even with only one year in practice, could be leveraged effectively. His interview preparation was especially valuable. Vijay helped me frame my experience in a compelling way, anticipate potential questions, and confidently highlight the unique perspective and strengths I could bring to the role, even if I did not yet meet every traditional benchmark. Throughout the entire interview process, Vijay was proactive and deeply supportive. He conducted thorough prep sessions, encouraged reflection after each round, and offered practical, experience-based advice that strengthened my candidacy at every step. Vijay is not only knowledgeable about the legal market, but he is also a genuine advocate for his candidates. His diligence, patience, and strategic insight made a significant difference in my journey, and I am grateful for the guidance he provided in helping me land a role that truly aligns with my experience and long-term goals.

I connected with Ren through the recommendation of a law school friend whom he had successfully helped with a lateral move to another law firm. I, too, highly recommend Ren to any attorney considering a lateral transition. As many attorneys know, there is no shortage of legal recruiters, and it can be difficult to determine which ones are genuinely invested in their candidates’ success. Ren is unquestionably one of the best. He is thoughtful and intentional in developing a tailored plan of action, and equally effective in helping to execute it. His knowledge of the BigLaw landscape is second to none, and that expertise gave me great confidence in entrusting him with my search. Just as importantly, he is an absolute pleasure to work with — professional, kind, and genuinely supportive throughout 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.

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.
