    Why talk to Kate Reder Sheikh?

    Donna Long joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP's San Francisco office in the Litigation group.

    Kate is fantastic to work. She was proactive about getting me the opportunities I wanted and always working towards my best interest. She brought a wealth of knowledge of the legal industry, especially in the Bay Area, which was helpful for a junior lawyer trying to navigate the job market. She very attentive to my needs and assisted me throughout the transition. I could not have asked for a better experience!

    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.

    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!

    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.
