    Why talk to Evan Fox?

    Katharine Scott joined Ropes & Gray LLP's New York City office in the Restructuring group.

    Highly recommend working with Evan; if he has an opportunity that he thinks would be a good fit for you, it is absolutely worth considering. He is a very skilled and thoughtful attorney recruiter and he matched me with an opportunity I did not think possible. I'm about 4 months in and could not be happier. I was not looking to leave my prior firm and had reservations about lateraling, but he provided me with the tools and advice I needed to make an informed decision that I truly believe was ultimately the correct one. He will advocate for you, listen to your concerns, and genuinely do all in his power to help you take that next step in your career.
