    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Sohail Khan joined Paul Hastings LLP's Chicago office in the Real Estate group.

    Priya really went above and beyond as a recruiter. In one of the toughest real estate lateral markets in recent history, Priya guided me through the extremely choppy waters to landing at a top firm in my city of choice. Priya is organized, thorough, responsive and has deep relationships with top firms’ recruiting departments. She keeps a constantly updated list of firms which you have applied to and garners feedback from interviews to help you improve, constantly tweaking your resume for each position you apply to. She also takes your calls at all hours, even late at night before interviews to help you prepare. 5/5 I highly recommend.
