Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle - Corporate & Business Transactions - Real Estate - 2027 Entry-Level Associate

Priya was nothing short of amazing. I've interacted with + worked with several recruiters in the past but will unequivocally rank Priya to be the BEST recruiter I've ever worked with. She is extremely thorough, thoughtful, detail-oriented, maintains lists , checklists and trackers and makes your life super easy, helps with interview prep and negotiating offers too. She will be a zealous advocate for you + your career at all points in time. The characteristic I appreciated the most in Priya is just her patience and her desire to get the best outcome for her clients at all points in time. A lot of recruiters can be pushy, but not Priya - she only had my best interests at heart throughout the whole process. She is also super straight forward, honest and and easy to work with. Thank you so much, once again, Priya :) you were a pleasure to work with!

Alan helped me transition from my previous law firm to my current firm. His expertise in the legal industry and personalized approach made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From the initial consultation to assessing offers, Alan was there every step of the way, providing valuable guidance and support. His professionalism and dedication to finding the right fit made him a pleasure to work with. I am grateful for his assistance and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone contemplating a move in their legal career.

I had the pleasure of working with Evan during my recent job search for my lateral move from NYC to Boston. Evan's expertise and dedication were instrumental in helping me secure a fantastic opportunity. Throughout the entire process, Evan was highly responsive, and his professionalism and commitment were evident in his proactive communication and assistance in preparation for interviews. Evan provided valuable insights and guidance, which greatly contributed to my confidence and success during the interview process. Most of all, I appreciated Evan candor and honesty. He took the time to learn about my career objectives and find a firm that was the best fit for me.

Jessica was phenomenal to work with while transitioning roles. She was attentive and provided helpful and encouraging feedback during the process. She’s continued to keep in contact even after my placement. I cannot recommend her enough!

I honestly cannot recommend Greg enough. I had a few specific concerns I wanted to address in my lateral move. Greg helped me prioritize positions that met the criteria I was looking for, and was candid about positions he didn't think would help me meet my career goals. He also gave invaluable advice for the interviews themselves. I'm not great at interviewing, and I honestly don't think I would have got the position I did without his guidance. I couldn't be happier with my move!

I am so glad I responded to Darin's email. He is the consummate professional - zero pressure or salesmanship (like some other recruiters), pulls no punches, and is a good and decent guy. He is the real deal and has a great depth of experience and insight based on years of experience both as a BigLaw attorney and an industry recruiter. Darin is straightforward, thoughtful, and responsive. I've got a great new position to thank him for, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

When I engaged Khurram and Freshwater Counsel, I came in with a very short target list of firms in a challenging market, and they helped me secure competing offers from that list. I understand from friends’ lateral experiences that such precision is rare in the lateral market. What impressed me most was how skillfully Khurram managed the negotiation phase. Salary, bonus, and timing are always sensitive issues, and it can be a challenge to advocate for yourself without souring the relationship with a future employer before you even start. Khurram handled these conversations with exactly the right balance of persistence and diplomacy, ensuring I landed on terms that reflected my priorities while leaving the firms genuinely excited to bring me on board. I cannot recommend Freshwater Counsel highly enough to anyone looking to make a thoughtful, strategic lateral move in big law. Khurram, Jared and the Freshwater team make a daunting process feel targeted, efficient, and ultimately successful.

Ed was referred to me by one of my close friends and I in turn have referred him to several of my friends. This is for good reason. Ed is an exceptional recruiter who was able to get me multiple interviews in a harder to break in to secondary market. And even though he was getting me interviews with firms, he was also supportive of my efforts to apply to firms independently. Ed gave me candid, helpful advice on my prospects, but at no point did I feel like he was pushing me to a firm that would not be a good fit for me. I am happy at the firm I am now at, which Ed got me an interview with, but if I ever want to make another career move I would not hesitate to reach out to Ed again.

Kate was fantastic to work with! She is a an effective and authentic communicator and listened to my needs and preferences. I ended up with a great lateral move that fit exactly what I was looking for. Would 10/10 recommend working with Kate and her team.

I strongly recommend hiring Zsaleh as a recruiter. Zsaleh reached out to me awhile back while I was clerking, and while I didn’t have a need for a recruiter at the time, Zsaleh generously took the time to explain to me how the recruiting process works. Left with a good impression, I contacted Zsaleh years later when I did need a recruiter, and she helped me land my top choice in a new city. Zsaleh is attentive, diligent, and a pleasure to work with. 10/10 recommend!

My experience with Vijay truly exceeded my expectations in what I thought a recruiter could do in the lateral process. From our very first phone conversation, Vijay was extremely thoughtful in crafting a narrative of my desires and goals and ensured that I was getting opportunities that would match my career goals. He went above and beyond even with opportunities that he did not find for me. He helped me prepare for interviews, running through mock questions and made sure that I was pleased with his approach throughout the process. He was proactive, timely, and communicative with everything that he was doing. More than anything, he was an excellent advocate of me and what I brought to the table. As a woman and as a minority attorney in BigLaw, I am always mindful of the culture that I am stepping into, and Vijay's general knowledge of firms and what they are looking for was crucial in my lateral offer acceptance. I am have truly gained a friend in him through this process and I highly recommend using him, especially if you are a diverse attorney looking to make a move or simply want to know what opportunities currently exist.
