    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Tevin Hopkins joined McGuireWoods LLP's Chicago office in the Labor & Employment group.

    I would recommend Priya to anyone looking to make a move in the legal market. She does way more than just submit resumes like some recruiters do. She really takes the time to get to know her candidates and what they are looking for in an employeer and does a great job at not only finding you a new job, but the right job.
