2026 Commercial, IP & White Collar Litigation Associate

Working with Vijay from Sterling Clark Group has been an incredibly positive and impactful experience. From the very beginning, Vijay was diligent, thoughtful, and strategic in helping me navigate the application process at an early stage in my career. With only one year of experience, I initially felt uncertain about which roles would realistically be within reach. Vijay took the time to carefully sort through options with me, explaining each potential role in detail and outlining how my background could align with different opportunities. He was transparent yet encouraging, helping me understand not only what I qualified for, but also where I could thoughtfully stretch myself. When we identified the role I ultimately secured, Vijay provided clear and strategic guidance on why it was the right fit. He broke down how my experience, even with only one year in practice, could be leveraged effectively. His interview preparation was especially valuable. Vijay helped me frame my experience in a compelling way, anticipate potential questions, and confidently highlight the unique perspective and strengths I could bring to the role, even if I did not yet meet every traditional benchmark. Throughout the entire interview process, Vijay was proactive and deeply supportive. He conducted thorough prep sessions, encouraged reflection after each round, and offered practical, experience-based advice that strengthened my candidacy at every step. Vijay is not only knowledgeable about the legal market, but he is also a genuine advocate for his candidates. His diligence, patience, and strategic insight made a significant difference in my journey, and I am grateful for the guidance he provided in helping me land a role that truly aligns with my experience and long-term goals.
