    Ed Hossain

    Legal Recruiter

    Long Ridge Partners

    Why talk to Ed Hossain?

    Jess Hemstreet joined Latham & Watkins LLP's Bay Area office in the Corporate group.

    Ed was absolutely pivotal to my lateral search and I cannot imagine going through the process without him. Not only did he bring a wealth of industry and market knowledge, he was consistently available, excited to help with all aspects of the search, and genuinely concerned with getting me the best fit possible. Ed goes above and beyond connecting attorneys to firms. He takes a hands on approach to preparing application materials, prepping for interviews and strategizing about offers. In addition, his wealth of connections meant that he was always ready to give me helpful insights about particular office culture and reputation, things that are difficult to discern without contacts at a given office. He made what felt like a daunting process, smooth and effortless, and ultimately helped me get offers from several of my dream firms in a short amount of time. I have recommended Ed to many close friends and colleagues and I will continue to do so.

    Why talk to Dale Durham?

    Dale is fantastic!! He knows the ins and outs of the legal market in Orange County. He is incredibly knowledgeable and informative, and makes himself available throughout the entire process. Dale is extremely responsive and takes the time to learn about you and your personal goals for your career. Dale's method is to focus on his clients' needs and desires, and he always prioritizes your ultimate goal. This process takes time and Dale always provides updates along the way to make sure that you always feel informed. It was truly a pleasure working with Dale and I would definitely recommend working with him!

    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Benjamin Alred joined Latham & Watkins LLP's Bay Area office in the Intellectual Property group.

    I was referred to Priya by a friend and former colleague and would eagerly give that referral to anyone else in the same situation. To be completely candid, I cannot imagine finding a better recruiter than Priya. I had worked with other recruiters in the past and heard experiences from colleagues, but I could not imagine someone adding as much value during the difficult process of changing positions as she did. She was so helpful and well organized during the entire process, all the while understanding the stress of performing a demanding job while trying to find better opportunities. She helped prepare application materials, performed mock interviews on weekends to accommodate my availability, and provided specific feedback and input to help me prepare for each and every interview and interviewer. Even little touches to make my life easier, like forwarding biographies and LinkedIn profiles of interviewers, Priya always provided without asking. When it came to the step of deciding between offers, she was once again an understanding advocate, helping me weigh different factors important to me and acting as an independent party who could negotiate on my behalf to make sure all my concerns were addressed. If anyone is unsure about finding the right recruiter who properly fits their needs or would like more specific details on just how wonderful Priya is to work with, I would encourage them to reach out to me further as I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    Why talk to Kate Reder Sheikh?

    Nitesh Daryanani joined Latham & Watkins LLP's San Francisco office in the Antitrust group.

    Kate is a great legal recruiter—she is very familiar with law firms in the Bay Area and was a great resource during my transition. She provided helpful advice when I was contemplating a change and during the interview process. Her approach to recruiting as “matchmaking” earned my trust and I was extremely satisfied with the result.
