    Pacific Legal Search

    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Tiffany N. Jones joined Paul Hastings LLP's Bay Area office in the Corporate group.

    Priya was immensely helpful during my job search. I worked with her twice, once as an out of state candidate and once in state, while my previous search was unsuccessful, she was eager to assist my second time around. She was by far the most helpful recruiter I worked with. She was very responsive, she prepped me for every single interview, and listen to my concerns and adjusted along the way. Priya will put you in the best position to get a job in a difficult California marketplace. I highly recommend her.

    Why talk to Alan Hershkowitz?

    Kate Peterson joined Paul Hastings LLP's District of Columbia office in the Finance group.

    I worked with Alan while I was trying to change firms in late 2021. Alan was great about informing me of new opportunities in the DC market and helping me through the whole process of applying, interviewing, and accepting my new position. Alan was also always responsive with any questions and with helping to schedule my interviews. For those looking to switch out of the Delaware market, I would certainly recommend Alan since he has an understanding of the type of work that attorneys perform in Delaware.
