    Why talk to Gregory Gambill?

    Ani Kaufmann Mamisashvili joined King & Spalding LLP's New York City office in the Project Finance group.

    I loved working with Greg. He consistently went above and beyond to look out for the best opportunities for me and was realistic and honest about the fit and the culture of each firm I was considering. He was also so patient working through different seasons and big events of my life. I never felt pressured or rushed to accept any offer - quite the opposite, Greg always encouraged me to think through each decision thoroughly.

    Why talk to Max Bartram Esq.?

    Alfonso Sánchez-Eguíbar joined King & Spalding LLP's New York City office in the Litigation group.

    Max was hugely helpful in my search, proactively running opportunities by me, but also creating them from thin air. He's a talented recruiter and also a very kind, fun person to chat with. That personality goes far in terms of sourcing opportunities for his clients. Lastly, his level of care and diligence sets him far apart from the scores of recruiters that reach out to us daily.

    Why talk to Alan Hershkowitz?

    Dominick Tarantino joined King & Spalding LLP's New York City office in the Corporate group.

    Alan did a great job helping me navigate the lateral process. He always kept me extremely well informed, which helped me feel confident in my decision. We were always in close communication and he eased any concerns I may have had throughout the process. Lateraling can be a stressful time and he helped make it as stress-free as possible. I couldn’t be happier with everything he did for me.

    Lateral Match

    Why talk to Amanda Finley, Esq.?

    Tyler Dysart joined King & Spalding LLP's Atlanta office in the Health Care group.

    I had an incredible experience with Amanda Finley of Lateral Match. After working with various recruiters for a couple of months and feeling like just another number, the difference with Amanda was very stark; when we had an interview scheduled on less than 24 hours' notice, Amanda dropped everything for 1:1 prep, which was integral in eventually landing that position! Amanda was there every step of the way with personalized advice and guidance, and I cannot recommend working with her enough. Thank you Amanda!
