    I highly recommend Greg to anyone considering a lateral move. Greg brought a wealth of knowledge, sound judgment, and a steady hand to every step of the process. He took the time to understand what I was looking for, provided thoughtful interview preparation and debriefs, and handled the logistics seamlessly—all while working around my busy schedule. Greg made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable, and I always felt I was in capable hands.

    Claire (Hutar) Drucker joined Latham’s San Diego office in the Corporate group.

    I highly recommend working with Priya. She was incredibly helpful at each point of the lateral process. We first spoke before I was ready to make the move and I was impressed by her knowledge of my targeted market (San Diego). I really appreciated that she moved at my pace and never pressured me to start applying before I was ready. When the time was right, Priya was invaluable with resume clean-up and interview prep. I interviewed at a particularly busy time and Priya made the process so easy. I can't recommend her enough!
