Houston Global Finance Associate (3rd – 7th Year)

It was an absolute pleasure working with Ren; he is an amazing recruiter. His insight into the lateral market and his connections at top-tier firms made the lateral process smooth. The lateral process can be a stressful process, however, Ren provided guidance throughout all phases of the process, which made the process far less stressful. I strongly recommend Ren to anyone considering a move!

Ed was absolutely fantastic. When I was strongly considering new employment, Ed reached out and explained a new opportunity to me. He provided great insight into the firm, was very responsive and courteous throughout the entire process, and really went to bat for me during the negotiations. Moreover, his prep for the multiple interviews was key to focusing on what the firm was looking for and really gave me an edge and comfortability going in to those meetings. Beyond the substantive work, I think what sets Ed really apart is the time he took to slow things down and make sure that I was comfortable with the move and that the position was right for me, which I really appreciated. In the end, I got the job and I am very happy with the decision and I don't think I would be here without Ed's help. I can't recommend him enough!

I worked with Max this past summer to help place me in my current role, and I highly recommend him. Max is probably one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with during my career. He provided a very personalized approach - one that I haven’t seen from many recruiters. Max took the time to genuinely understand my career goals and then sent me quality leads based on these very specific goals. He was available at all times of the day for check-ins and always super responsive. After every interview, he would follow up on how it went and then follow up with the firm as well. If you’re looking for your next position, and want to work with a recruiter that is professional, personable and warm - I highly recommend Max for your search!

Not only just a wonderful human to work with, Jessica is a seasoned and diligent recruiter. Her expertise in the industry and her commitment to her clients is second to none. I’m very thankful I got the opportunity to work with Jessica to find my dream role and would recommend her to anyone seeking legal opportunities.

Andrew is great! He's very knowledgeable, quick to respond, and will help you navigate the lateral legal market! 10/10 would recommend.

George was great to work with. He was responsive and knowledgeable about the market. His insights helped manage all expectations involved. Unlike many recruiters, George was genuine, and not overly aggressive or pushy. I felt at all times that George had my best interest in mind.

Rhea is an amazing professional. She helped me find and obtain a very bespoke opportunity. From preparation to negotiation, she remained communicative and supportive throughout the process. She is incredibly transparent and has her candidate’s best interest always at heart; I never felt pressured to do or accept anything. I highly recommend working with Rhea. She is both a great professional resource and a great person to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Kally, and she demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication. She was incredibly proactive in understanding my needs and consistently provided timely updates throughout the process. Kally's deep knowledge of the legal industry was evident in the opportunities she presented, which were well-aligned with my requirements. She offered valuable insights and guided me through each step.

I knew that I wanted to use my maternity leave as an opportunity to explore my interest in lateraling to another firm. Working with Khurram made the job search process easy. He answered all my questions, prepped me for my interviews, and communicated with me through the entire process. At one point, I received a call back from a law firm that I did not believe would give me a call back due to me not attending a top law school. He not only coached me up but also fought for me to be classified with my law school graduation class year. I am so thankful our paths crossed. I would recommend him to any one I know.

Rebecca is a FANTASTIC recruiter, and I can't recommend her enough. Her knowledge of the market is outstanding, and she really "takes care of" you - she is incredibly responsive and supportive, and she instills confidence every step of the way. Even in a rough lateral market, Rebecca made it happen. She followed up with firms weekly and gave me daily/weekly updates, and she made sure to communicate my unique experience and resume to firms. She was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable during the interview process, giving me great examples of interview questions that were personalized to my experience and resume. She also gave me detailed profiles of each of my interviewers, which was awesome. Even after an offer came in, Rebecca was still "fighting" for me every step of the way, making sure my benefits and bonus would be commensurate with my expectations, and following up with the firm on conflicts, etcetera. Rebecca is so personable and kind, and I really felt like she made the whole experience so personalized to me and my resume/situation, which speaks volumes. Seriously can't recommend her enough! Five star experience working with Rebecca!

Jack is the best legal recruiter I've ever worked with, and I cannot recommend him enough after everything he has done for me. I had a substantial work gap and quite frankly was struggling to find my next opportunity when I started working with Jack. He was immediately able to get me several interviews with law firms around the country. After a few weeks working with Jack, I ended up with multiple offers from Am Law 100 firms and even had to turn down several other firms which were in the process of extending an offer. Jack was there each step of the way and helped me navigate the process until I had accepted an offer to join Baker Botts. I can honestly say none of this would have been possible without Jack and his unrelenting hard work and efforts on my behalf. Jack was extremely responsive throughout the entire process and more importantly helped me prepare for each individual interview. It is evident that Jack has put in the time and effort to cultivate strong relationships with the various firms he had me interview with which is why he knew how to best prepare for each one based on what each firm was looking for in a candidate. I cannot stress enough how responsive, knowledgeable, and well-connected Jack is within the legal community. Jack is easily the best recruiter I've ever worked with by a country mile, and I recommend him to anyone who is serious about finding legal work!!

I highly recommend Vijay Sandal from the Sterling Clark Group who played an instrumental role in securing my dream role in the legal industry! After spending five years in my previous position, I was apprehensive about reentering the job market, especially considering the challenging economic climate. However, Vijay was caring and understanding of the nuanced needs of a person of color. He is a legal recruiter who has a wealth of knowledge and unwavering dedication, which proved invaluable. From the moment we began our collaboration, Vijay made it a priority to understand my goals and aspirations both in the short and long term. Through numerous conversations, he took the time to delve into the specifics of what I was seeking in my next role. He thoroughly reviewed my resume, discussed potential interview questions, and addressed developments along the way. Vijay designed a meticulous tailored strategy that was efficient and effective. Throughout the entire process, Vijay and I functioned as a cohesive team, always making himself available to answer any questions or concerns. His commitment to my success was evident in every step we took together. I was astounded that I received a very lucrative offer given the difficult economy. Securing an offer that exceeded my expectations was something I never thought possible, and I owe it to Vijay's hard work and unwavering dedication. This opportunity is undoubtedly a career changer for me, and I cannot express enough gratitude for Vijay's efforts. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care have left an indelible mark on my professional journey. I will miss our frequent calls, as they were not only informative, but also a source of motivation and encouragement. I wholeheartedly recommend Vijay as a recruiter to anyone seeking a true partner in their job search. His ability to navigate challenging circumstances, his attention to detail, and his commitment to his clients' success are unparalleled. I am eternally grateful for his guidance and support, and I have no doubt that he will continue to secure amazing positions for his clients!

Working with Priya was a uniquely pleasant experience. Any job search is stressful, and worrying that your chosen recruiter(s) do not have your best interests at heart is an added stressor that nobody needs. Priya used an extended intake session in order to ascertain the exact type of listings that would be most appropriate given my career goals. She has navigated the legal recruiting market extensively and brings that expertise to bear readily and transparently. Priya was hands-on and available at every step to make the process as painless as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend her for your legal job search needs.

I greatly enjoyed working with Evan and enthusiastically recommend him to lateral associates navigating career transitions. Evan worked closely with me to refine my resume, explain my desire to shift practice areas, and prepare for interviews. He is honest but encouraging,responsive and proactive. Evan is extremely knowledgeable and I was consistently impressed with his guidance. Don’t hesitate to work with Evan!

Kate helped me find a new job even when I felt I was an under-qualified candidate. I was not hopeful at all I would find something I wanted or liked. She was honest about my chances from the beginning which really helped manage my expectations. I changed directions a couple times with where I wanted to be located and this was no problem for Kate. She really listened to what I was looking for and used my feedback to find interesting opportunities. Throughout the interview process, she would always check in. And even during onboarding she would check in to ask if I needed anything. Kate helped me find a job that I both wanted and liked! Very happy with how things turned out and I would definitely recommend Kate!!
