    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.

    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.
