    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.
