    Why talk to Alan Hershkowitz?

    John Puszcz joined Polsinelli PC's New York City office in the Corporate group.

    If you’re looking to make a lateral move, I highly recommend you partner with Alan. Once you get on the phone with him you’ll understand why — he is incredibly knowledgeable about the practices at each firm, the notable players in the market, what to expect during the interviews, etc. It’s because he has placed associates at firms all across the AM Law 100. He is also constantly available and willing to help. I am very impressed by his performance and work ethic. Don’t hesitate—give him a call!
