    Why talk to Rebecca Glatzer?

    Zach Lankford joined McGuireWoods LLP's Charlotte office in the Corporate group.

    Rebecca is excellent at what she does. She has deep knowledge and understanding of Southeastern legal markets including Atlanta, Charlotte and Raleigh. Further, she’s well connected with key people at top firms - and it will be obvious why once you speak with her: she’s personable, friendly and has always done her homework. Rebecca never let an email, call or text go unanswered, and she made the process of lateraling to a firm across the country while still working feel smooth. She took the time to get to know me and to understand why I was lateraling and what I was looking for in a new firm. She coached me through every step of the process, even staying in touch after I started at my new firm. I’ve recommended Rebecca to close friends considering a move already and would continue to do so in the future.

    Why talk to Jack Bergin?

    Joseph Cottingham joined McGuireWoods LLP's Charlotte office in the Corporate group.

    I fortunately connected with Jack a few months into my job search in Charlotte. He worked promptly and efficiently from the outset. He identified a number of legitimate openings for me, before we landed on an ideal opportunity that we ultimately pursued in earnest. He wasted little time moving the process along and he did not distract our search with fruitless job postings. I appreciated his professionalism throughout the process, and would gladly recommend him to other attorneys searching for a new opportunity.
