If you are looking to make a lateral move, or even just thinking about it, you need to speak with Susan. When you work with Susan, you don’t simply get a recruiter—you get a consultant, a mentor, a counselor, and a friend. Susan’s knowledge of the legal market knows no limits, and she has expertise that can only be acquired from years of being at the top of her field. Moreover, Susan is an absolute delight to work with, and her positivity and enthusiasm make the process enjoyable! From my first phone call with Susan, it was clear that she is in a class all her own. Susan took the time to discuss my background, listen to my priorities and career goals, and get to know me as a person. I am a regulatory health attorney, and my practice area is very specific. Susan never pushed me toward a role for the sake of it—instead, Susan sought my input to make sure that we focused on my exact area of health law. Susan is 100% invested in her candidates, and it shows. She coached me through each step, from perfecting my resume to rigorously preparing me for every single interview. Susan's dedication to her candidates goes above and beyond professional guidance and mentorship—she always made time for me, no matter how seemingly minor my question might have been, and she remained engaged and accessible throughout the process. Thanks to Susan, I am in the perfect role. I am grateful that Susan was my recruiter and legal placement consultant, and I am even more fortunate to call her my mentor and friend. I cannot recommend Susan highly enough!

Bryson is what everyone wants in a recruiter. From his first message to his interview preparation to his handling of offers, Bryson provided detailed information about every law firm (including detailed information about each interviewer + testimonials where available) and how each offer compared to what was going on in the market. He never hid the ball and was really helpful at getting interviews scheduled around my packed big law calendar. He is particularly well-versed in minority representation at firms which is an added bonus if that impacts you, and I know it is something that I always take into consideration when looking at a workplace. I’d use his services again - he’s really top-notch!

George was phenomenal to work with in helping me through the lateral process. He was proactive and had an in-depth understanding of the job market in the energy regulatory space. He is a great communicator and made the interview process simple and easy for me by promptly handling all administrative items. George also provided great insights during the various interview stages. I wholeheartedly recommend him and the Marsden team to anyone who is looking for a new opportunity.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Rhea on my next placement. She was receptive of my non-negotiables and realistic about the current market. Rhea’s professionalism and customer service is second to none. I would recommend her to attorneys looking to plan their next move without hesitation.

Jack was incredibly helpful, responsive and professional in my lateral job search. He listened intently to my interests and planned career goals, and then went above and beyond to help me network and build connections to get there. He reached out to partner contacts with similar interests, even when an open position was not listed, which helped me find a unique position that was created and tailored just for me. This would not have been possible without Jack. I would highly recommend working with him to anyone in my network!

Priya went above and beyond for me during my search for an associate attorney position. She has a fantastic grasp of the big law market, and was able to find positions that fit well with my personal goals and aspirations. She also made herself available to me 24/7 to provide constructive feedback, advice, and her honest opinions. I would not have been able to navigate the grueling interview process without Priya by my side every step of the way. I cannot recommend her services enough!

Evan is extremely knowledgeable about the legal job market and its major players and processes. He was able to quickly gauge my interests and strengths and propose helpful suggestions to improve my resume and interviewing tactics. He was very responsive through all mediums and went above and beyond in following up on the progress of my application. After I received an offer, Evan continued to act as a liaison to ensure a smooth transition and start date.

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!!

There are few opportunities in a professional career that rise to the level that is working with Vijay Sandal from Sterling Clark Group. Vijay’s guidance, dedication, and experience helped me to secure a lucrative lateral offer in a deeply challenging economic environment. Vijay approached me with opportunities for roles in the legal industry I thought beyond my capabilities at the level I was in my career. I often struggle to understand the worth I can bring to the table, and Vijay not only reassured me, but helped to show me the universe of what I could achieve. Not only that, he did so with a pragmatic outlook to help prepare me for the landscape ahead. Vijay’s shrewd intellect and deep understanding of the legal market paid significant dividends in navigating potential opportunities, and nailing a role that synchronized perfectly with me. Vijay is wise, and energetic. He is confident, yet humble. He is attentive without being overbearing. He effectively guides candidates without holding their hand. He allows a candidate to shine on their own, while enhancing their value with his advice. His attention and care to each candidate allowed for a resounding success throughout the interview process and beyond. At every anxious chokehold, Vijay was there to not only comfort, but to temper any concerns with thoughtful realism. He became a soundboard to prepare with the right blend of caution, optimism, confidence, and humility. Vijay’s strategic approach to the lateral process in the legal field is second to none. His effort in understanding candidates led to finding synergies across industries. If the phrase “finding the right fit” had a symbol, it would be Vijay. Vijay goes beyond merely advocating for his clients. He prepares candidates for every conceivable issue, and curveball while also providing a sober risk assessment for all outcomes, even the ones I could not anticipate. Even after interviews concluded, Vijay was there to debrief and walk through every detail to understand where we stood, and what the best next steps would be. He truly is a master of his craft, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. I could not be happier with the results of working with him.

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!

In preparing for my lateral move, I had a lot of questions about the logistics of the process and how to prepare for interviews. Khurram was very helpful during the experience because he was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable on the lateral market. His advice and guidance made the experience very smooth and his positivity throughout made the transition much less daunting. I would not have been able to make the move without his help!

Working with Max was an all around positive experience. He took the time to listen and understand my career interests and goals, and presented a variety of opportunities to me that aligned with those goals. He also reassured me throughout the process that the most important thing was that I found the right fit for my lateral move, and did not rush me into making any particular decision. I would recommend Max to any friend of mine looking to make a move!

Greg was great throughout the whole process. I really appreciated how responsive he was and I felt as if I could text him at any time. But above all, Greg was highly knowledgeable and well connected so I knew I was in safe hands.

Kally is knowledgeable about the legal market, and appropriately proactive with employers. Kally was attentive and took the time to listen to my objectives, and most importantly I always felt that she was acting in my best interest.

I had such a wonderful experience working with Jessica! She was super attentive to detail, remembered all my preferences, and tailored my job search to my goals. From resume review to prep sessions before the interview to second-eyeing thank you emails, Jessica was there to give solid tips and insider advice throughout the entire process. She is very knowledgeable about the IP world and was always accessible when I had any questions. She made me feel supported and at ease, and she never gave me any pressure to make decisions one way or the other. I would highly recommend working with Jessica!

I worked with Alan while I was trying to change firms in late 2021. Alan was great about informing me of new opportunities in the DC market and helping me through the whole process of applying, interviewing, and accepting my new position. Alan was also always responsive with any questions and with helping to schedule my interviews. For those looking to switch out of the Delaware market, I would certainly recommend Alan since he has an understanding of the type of work that attorneys perform in Delaware.
