Anna Hardcastle joined Orrick’s New York City office in the Corporate group.
Alan was a pleasure to work with. He advised me for over one year before I was ready to make a move. He was incredibly patient throughout the process, including with my timeline, finding the perfect fit and scheduling as many conversations as I needed before I made a decision. Alan is knowledgeable about the industry and insightful about the nuanced differences between firms.
Lateral Link
Johnathan Vaknin joined Orrick’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.

Donna Long joined Orrick’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!

Jennifer Criss joined Orrick’s District of Columbia office in the Corporate group.
Darin is a top-notch recruiter who helped make my dream job a reality. His invaluable knowledge of the legal market and the resources from Major, Lindsey & Africa that he brings to his candidates is superb. Darin goes above and beyond to respond to any and all inquiries and to understand his candidates in order to find the right placement. He will become your biggest cheerleader as well as a trusted advisor. I highly recommend working with Darin.

Melanie Chan joined Orrick’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.

Jordan Armstrong joined Orrick’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.
Freshwater Counsel
Saurabh Gupta joined Orrick’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.

Luba Lerner joined Orrick’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!

James Jenkins III joined Orrick’s District of Columbia office in the Structured Finance group.
It is hard to express in words the amount of time and effort that Allison spent coaching and guiding me through Orrick’s recruitment process. If you’re in the legal profession and are looking for a hard-working and dedicated recruiting professional and advocate, I highly recommend Allison! She was thorough, knowledgeable, diligent and consistent in her communications, ensuring that I was kept abreast of the recruitment cycle from beginning to end, and kept me on top of deadlines.
