  • Summer Eberhard
    Top recruiter for this opening

    Summer Eberhard

    Legal Recruiter

    Lateral Link

    Why talk to Summer Eberhard?

    Johnathan Vaknin joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP's Los Angeles office in the Intellectual Property group.

    I worked with Summer throughout my lateral associate move and can't recommend her highly enough. She took the time to understand what I actually wanted out of my next role and surfaced niche opportunities I wouldn't have found on my own. She was also a steady guide through the trickier parts of the process: navigating conflicts checks and managing the notice and transition period at my previous firm. Her advice was practical, her communication was prompt, and I always felt like I had someone in my corner.

    Khurram Naik

    Legal Recruiter

    Freshwater Counsel

    Why talk to Khurram Naik?

    Saurabh Gupta joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP's District of Columbia office in the Intellectual Property group.

    In my interactions with Khurram, his approach truly stood out: he listens patiently, never pushes, and consistently aims for a genuine win-win outcome. He thoroughly discusses the pros and cons of all your options so you can trust his feedback, and he’s quick to understand your perspective. He’ll push on your behalf wherever possible but isn’t afraid to tell you if something isn’t practical. You still have to walk the path and make your case, but he’s there to guide you with a firm hand. I’ve seen how his insight and dedication lead to excellent opportunities that fulfill every requirement—and then some. I highly recommend Khurram and his team as recruiters who prioritize what matters most and deliver results.

    Mosaic Search Partners

    Why talk to Bryson Malcolm?

    Melanie Chan joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP's New York City office in the Litigation group.

    Bryson goes above and beyond to discern and address the needs of each client. Aside from his impressive work ethic, his intuition and candor put me at ease and enabled me to place full trust in him for a critical pivot in my career: leaving my law firm after six years. He is a fantastic promoter and advocate, but is also knowledgeable about the market and finely attuned to each client's priorities and sensitivities. Rather than merely providing a laundry list of open positions, Bryson highlights the opportunities that best fit his clients based on his extensive research, which includes not only firm statistics and the consensus of other associates, but also structural changes, acquisitions, and other firm developments. I came into my interviews feeling confident due to Bryson's deep dive on each interviewer (he even secured videos so I had a sense of how they would be in person), and he was immediately responsive to my questions and concerns at each step of the process. Post-offer, he compiled a list of potential contacts at the firm and arranged follow-up sessions with lawyers in specific positions and backgrounds. Bryson deeply cares about each candidate, and it shows in his no-stone-unturned, no-BS approach. I would recommend (and have recommended) Bryson to anyone looking to find their next firm.

    Why talk to Andrew J. Merson?

    Jordan Armstrong joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP's Houston office in the Energy group.

    Andrew provided a bespoke experience in helping me lateral to a new workplace. I was under no pressure to leave my current employer and, as such, I told Andrew that I was only interested in moving to a firm that could provide a laundry list of requirements - including a move to a smaller, popular, insular market. Andrew was honest with me and immediately returned the only option that had potential to provide what I was looking for. We worked together to contact that firm, putting my best foot forward, and it turned out to be an opportunity so good that I was compelled to jump. Andrew led from the front during the entire process, informing me of the necessary steps without wasting my time or attempting to divert me to other opportunities that may have been more of a sure thing for him. The experience was excellent and after hearing a variety of horror stories, I am thankful that I contacted Andrew. I have already recommended Andrew to a few folks in my network and will not hesitate to do so again.

    Major, Lindsey & Africa

    Why talk to Dale Durham?

    Luba Lerner joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP's Los Angeles office in the Labor & Employment group.

    I worked with Dale to find an opportunity in the biglaw market and I'm so glad I did. Dale came recommended to me from a friend/colleague. Dale was kind and personable from the start. He listened to my needs and wants when discussing the type of opportunity I was interested in. Throughout the interview process, Dale offered extremely helpful tips and advice that I would not have had if I did not work with him. He is super knowledgeable and has a keen ability to find job seekers a perfect fit. He was honest when he described certain opportunities and work cultures--which I really appreciated! I did not feel the pushy-ness that some other legal recruiters may exude onto candidates. I could tell he is also very well-respected by firms that he recruits candidates to, which is super helpful. He was in constant communication with me through the whole process. Dale is a real professional. I am so happy to have met and worked with Dale, and have already referred him to several friends looking for opportunities. Thank you, Dale!
