Zak Baron joined Ashurst Perkins Coie’s Seattle office in the Real Estate group.
As someone who was initially hesitant to engage a recruiter (given the influx of recruiter spam emails I receive on a daily basis), I couldn’t have been more impressed by my experience with Priya. She was thoughtful, responsive, and thorough at every stage of the lateral process. As I transitioned from Los Angeles to the Seattle market, Priya was especially helpful in educating me on the local landscape and the range of opportunities available. She took the time to understand my goals and priorities, provided clear guidance, and consistently followed up with useful insights that made the process much smoother. I am so grateful for her genuine investment in helping me finding the right fit for the next stage of my career.
