    The Lateral Edge

    Maria Krol Stosz joined Latham’s District of Columbia office in the Export Controls group.

    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!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience working with Amanda Finley. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, warm, and patient, guiding me through every step of the process with clarity and confidence. She took the time to truly understand what I was looking for in my next role and helped me land what I can genuinely say is my dream job. Her insight into the legal market was invaluable, and she was always available to answer my (many!) question, and never once making me feel rushed or uncertain. She provided thoughtful advice, honest feedback, and steady support, which made the entire experience smooth and far less stressful than I anticipated. I'm beyond grateful for her expertise and encouragement. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any attorney looking to make a move. She's truly exceptional at what she does. Thank you, Amanda!!

    Ryan Migeed joined Mayer Brown’s District of Columbia office in the Litigation group.

    There are so many reasons I would recommend working with Steven as you take the next steps in your legal career. Above all, I appreciated Steven’s knowledge, personal touch, and respect for the ways in which I wanted to shape my career as we worked together to find my next step. Steven has a deep knowledge of the legal market and an active “rolodex” of contacts who trust his judgment when he recommends candidates for open roles. These are reasons enough to entrust your next career move to Steven’s guidance, but Steven is also a joy to work with, someone who will get to know you as a person and will help bring out your best qualities as an applicant. Steven is there for you every step of the process. Lateraling can be daunting and questions undoubtedly arise. Steven was a trusted confidant and I always felt comfortable seeking his advice. He never forgets the person behind the application; in fact, he works to draw that person out so that they can put their best foot forward, confident in who they are and how they fit into a new role. Steven helped me build the confidence to take the next step in my career. He also checks in with you. You are never left hanging or waiting to learn information from him. He will keep you as informed as he is. He is your partner in the process, not someone who simply clicks “submit” when your application is ready. Perhaps most importantly, while he is a steady guide throughout the process, Steven also respects your choices and redlines and the ways in which you want to shape your career. He listens when you explain what you are looking for and he remembers details. If you want to remove particular roles from consideration because of the direction in which you are trying to drive your career, he accepts and respects those considerations. He does not push you to make a deal or accept an offer simply because it’s there. He wants the best fit for you just as much as you do. I highly recommend working with Steven to take the next step in your legal career.
