    Kate is incredible at what she does. She is passionate about her job and her clients and works tirelessly to make sure her clients succeed.

    Why talk to Summer Eberhard?

    Amber Harezlak, JD, PhD joined Morrison & Foerster LLP's San Francisco office in the Intellectual Property group.

    Summer was both a great resource and strong advocate for me as I was going through the process of changing jobs. What really drew me to Summer was her willingness to get to know me over a long period of time and bring appropriate opportunities to my attention. Because she knew my background and what I was looking for, she was able to be that much more effective when I was ready to make a move in my career. If that isn’t enough, Summer was also able to share valuable insights as I navigated the interviewing process - both with respect to what was happening in the industry overall and how I was performing personally. Her knowledge and experience were important keys to my success.
