Vijay is thoughtful, methodical, and has incredible attention to detail. It was clear from the onset that Vijay's style is different. Vijay was focused from the beginning in ensuring I found the perfect fit for my lateral move by spending time getting to know my needs and understanding what was important to me. And if that were not enough, Vijay worked around my schedule -- often at the expense of his own -- to check in and ensure I had everything I needed through the process. No joke, the poor guy was even sending check in emails while trying to navigate an engagement to his now-fiancee! Vijay was very strategic in setting a plan for myself and went above and beyond to make sure that I was prepared for each interview, discussed feedback after each interview, next steps, and my feelings about the practice groups. Vijay was also great at putting things into perspective by discussing and differentiating how each firm impacted my short-term and long-term goals. Vijay helped negotiate a generous sign-on bonus and remained committed even after I had accepted an offer. Vijay assisted me in transitioning from my previous firm to my new firm including what to expect in the exit process. Put simply, I would highly recommend Vijay to anyone considering a lateral move, irrespective of practice group or location.

Summer is exceptionally good at what she does. She takes time to understand her clients and helps them find the firms that best fit their long-term career goals. She is also well-connected to the legal industry and works quickly to accumulate interviews for her clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to lateraling associates.
