Jonathan Mitnick joined Sidley’s Los Angeles office in the Restructuring group.
Ren was an amazing recruiter and resource through the recruiting process. I have spoken with and worked with many recruiters, and Ren stands out among legal recruiters in his attention to detail, deep understanding of internal firm issues, and ability to calmly and attentively deal with the many questions that arise throughout the recruiting process. My recruiting process went on for many months and had a bunch of twists and turns. Ren was super nimble and did in-depth research to determine how to move forward at every stage. He was also extremely willing to explain the role of a recruiter and the benefits of working with a recruiter rather than doing it alone - it can often seem like a black box and he made it very understandable. In a sea of recruiters and blind emails, Ren stands out as an extraordinary advisor and guide through what can be a stressful and uncertain time. I wholeheartedly recommend Ren and would certainly work with him again.

Nadia B. Saleem joined DLA’s Los Angeles office in the Restructuring group.
Priya was a dream to work with when I was looking to transition firms. She was incredibly responsive, keeping me updated on applications without my having to follow up; she was attentive in ensuring that any firms I submitted to would be a good fit for me; and she took time to help me prepare for all of my interviews to ensure that I was set up for success. In the end, she was able to help me find a position in a new geographic location in less time than I expected, despite a weak market for my practice area. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a new position.
