    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Dong (Danny) Min joined McDermott Will & Schulte's New York City office in the Real Estate group.

    Priya helped me when I moved between firms. It was my first lateral move and the thought of having to update my resume for the first time since law school and preparing for interviews was daunting, but Priya made everything unbelievably easy for me. She was willing to work with my busy schedule and worked overtime to make sure I was fully prepared for my interview. She was available for me throughout the day and night, and even on weekends. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking to move between firms and will reach out to her again if I decide I need another move!

    Why talk to Darin Morgan?

    Chelsea Rubio joined McDermott Will & Schulte's District of Columbia office in the Trusts & Estates group.

    I was so fortunate to have picked up Darin's call by accident months ago, not realizing how useful he would be when I was ready to look for a new job. Darin actively applied to positions on my behalf and communicated updates with me regularly. He provided excellent materials and tips on interview prepping and even sent me sample answers to hard questions that would likely come up. Darin was very professional and easy to connect with when needed. I highly recommend Darin and his company.
