    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Byron S. Barahona joined Reed Smith LLP's California office in the Intellectual Property group.

    I was initially hesitant to work with a recruiter but I am so grateful that I trusted Priya. Not only did she open doors for me, but she went above and beyond to prepare me to enter those doors. Priya routinely presented me with job opportunities in top law firms and secured multiple interviews for me that ultimately led to employment at a top law firm. What stood out most about Priya is how supportive and honest she was during the entire recruiting process. She never pressured me to accept an unreasonable offer and took my personal life into consideration. I felt like we were a team and that is the type of dynamic that every attorney deserves when considering new employment. I recommend Priya with absolutely no reservations. She’s a master at her craft and you would be lucky to work with her.
