    Why talk to Kate Reder Sheikh?

    Ryan Kidman joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP's San Francisco office in the Corporate group.

    I cannot recommend Kate highly enough. She knows the Bay Area market intimately and is able to leverage that knowledge to give actionable, tailored advice (down to the specific interviewer). Kate is a true counselor and advisor and it was a privilege to work with her.

    Why talk to Zsaleh Harivandi?

    Miranda Wheeler joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP's Los Angeles office in the Litigation group.

    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!
