Litigation Services Attorney

I recently worked with Khurram Naik at Freshwater Counsel during my transition to a new law firm. As an associate looking to lateral positions, I faced the challenge of finding a firm that matched my career goals and values. Khurram's expertise and strategic approach were crucial in helping me navigate the legal job market and secure a position that aligns with my aspirations. Khurram took the time to understand my needs and provided tailored opportunities that fit my professional objectives. His insights into the market and proactive communication kept me well-informed and prepared throughout the interview process. I appreciated his availability to answer questions and provide honest feedback, which made the experience much more manageable. Khurram's professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication were evident in every interaction. I am grateful for his support and would recommend his services to anyone seeking a career change in the legal field. His guidance made a significant difference in my job search, and I am pleased with the outcome.

Rhea reached out to me having clearly done her homework on my background and spoke with confidence and experience about my small and relatively niche area of law. From the outset, I was impressed with her candor and clarity — she reached out to me about a specific role and shared strong reasons for why it would be a good fit for me. At each step in the process, she was consistently available, clear-eyed, and for someone who is relatively junior in the field and who not necessarily looking to make a move, extremely supportive and helpful in preparing for interviews and understanding the lateral process. More than anything, Rhea’s ethos is one of a counselor and advocate: she wants you to succeed. She treats every client like the only client, and offers a comprehensive service, from discussing firm fit, interview fit, and onboarding logistics. As a result of working with Rhea, I was able to move to a firm where I will be doing 100% of the specialized work I am primarily interested in, and found a team that matches my energy and desires for mentorship and growth. I can confidently say that without Rhea, I would never have found this opportunity! Thank you, Rhea!
