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.
