Why talk to Steven G. Weiler?
Emilee Houghton joined Mayer Brown LLP's District of Columbia office in the Labor & Employment group.
I would highly recommend Steven to any attorney looking to make a lateral move. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the markets in which he places attorneys, he was also very knowledgeable about my area of practice (business immigration), which is a quality I’ve not seen in other recruiters I’ve communicated with previously. He has incredibly valuable insights into the entire recruitment process - from finessing a resume, to preparing for different rounds of interviews, to accepting an offer, to giving notice to your current employer. I felt so supported throughout the entire process, and Steven was always available for a call or to quickly answer a text or email when I had any questions or concerns. Steven also took the time to really get to know me as a person and professional, ensuring that I didn’t just find a new role, but a role, practice group, and firm that were a great fit for me and my professional goals. The lateral process can be intimidating and a bit unnerving, but Steven’s encouragement and guidance made the process much easier to navigate. I am so grateful for his support throughout the process, and his continued support as I transition into my new role. Thank you so much, Steven!

Why talk to Rhea Bagaria, Esq.?
Jacob Reiskin joined Mayer Brown LLP's District of Columbia office in the International Trade group.
I highly recommend Rhea to anyone looking for a legal recruiter. She was proactive and persistent in pursuing the right opportunities, making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. At the same time, she was responsive to my preferences and focused on roles that aligned with my goals. Throughout the process, she was easy to reach, kept me updated, and provided helpful advice. It was thanks to her that I landed an unposted international trade role at an Am Law 50 firm that no other recruiter pitched to me. I highly recommend Rhea if you need a trusted partner for your search.
