    Why talk to Alan Hershkowitz?

    Josh Mackinnon joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP's New York City office in the Corporate group.

Alan was always collegial and prompt in his responses, and at the end of the day I was incredibly satisfied with the results.

    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.

    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 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.

    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!
