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.

Paul Hastings LLP • San FranciscoWhy 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.

Paul Hastings LLP • ChicagoWhy talk to Bryson Malcolm?
Dominique Jones joined Paul Hastings LLP's New York City office in the Litigation group.
Working with Bryson was a seamless process. After our first meeting he sent me a personalized spreadsheet of open positions that matched my interests, and sending regular updates for new openings. As we prepped for interviews, Bryson went above and beyond to provide me with information for each person I would be meeting with in one consolidated email. He highlighted important information that he thought would be most interesting and relevant to me for my meetings. He also summarized the firms' statistics, with a welcome emphasis on diversity statistics. Bryson has spent hours compiling statistics on the top law firms' diversity numbers, and this knowledge shows! Bryson handled all of the communications with firms for me, and was quick at scheduling interviews, and keeping all the firms I was interviewing with aware of my other options. I believe this helped me receive multiple offers in a short time frame. When I was weighing these options, Bryson reached out to his network of peers and friends for additional information on lifestyle and culture. All in all, Bryson goes the extra mile in his role as recruiter. I felt confident that he was preparing me to the highest degree for my interviews and callbacks. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you Bryson!

Paul Hastings LLP • New York CityWhy talk to Jack Bergin?
Ariel Vita Giumarelli joined Paul Hastings LLP's District of Columbia office in the Compliance/Regulatory group.
Jack was incredibly helpful, responsive and professional in my lateral job search. He listened intently to my interests and planned career goals, and then went above and beyond to help me network and build connections to get there. He reached out to partner contacts with similar interests, even when an open position was not listed, which helped me find a unique position that was created and tailored just for me. This would not have been possible without Jack. I would highly recommend working with him to anyone in my network!

Paul Hastings LLP • District of ColumbiaWhy talk to Vijay Sandal, Esq.?
Joseph Wharton joined Paul Hastings LLP's Chicago office in the Acquisition Finance group.
Working with Vijay was a revelation to me of what a recruiter can do. I was not expecting to make a change from my in-house position, but when Vijay reached out to me, I was struck by his professionalism, outside-of-the-box thinking, proactive approach, and can-do attitude. He is a good listener and asks insightful questions, all in the service of learning more about the person he is working with and determining what opportunities are available and are a good fit. By pairing his considerable interpersonal skills with his extensive knowledge of the legal market, Vijay was able to find strong and viable opportunities in private practice that I had not thought about or considered. But that’s not all Vijay did. He immediately got to work reaching out to his network, helping me to prepare for interviews, and providing useful background information on the firms and the attorneys that I met with. Our frequent conversations were particularly helpful as I was a non-traditional candidate, moving from an in-house position back into Big Law. He completely understood what I was looking for in terms of firm culture, practice group fit, and the type of work I want to do. He understood all of this because he knows how to ask questions, elicit information, and set and adjust strategy based on that conversation. Also noteworthy is that at all times he kept me fully informed of his efforts. Among many positive qualities, Vijay is an excellent communicator. Finally, Vijay’s efforts did not end with the offer, as he worked with me and advocated on my behalf to achieve the best possible fit and set up the transition from my in-house role to private practice. I give my highest and best recommendation of Vijay for anyone looking into making a career move in the legal field, whether it be a traditional or non-traditional move. I am very glad to have worked with him, and very grateful for his efforts and helping me find my current position.
