Annie Blanc joined Skadden’s New York City office in the Labor & Employment group.
Ed is a genuinely standout legal recruiter, who secured me my preferred position in my BigLaw lateral move efficiently and insightfully. He was knowledgeable about firm cultures and market dynamics both generally and within my specific practice area, and was direct and honest with me throughout the entire process. Most importantly, he put in the effort to get to know me on a personal level in order to tailor his advice to achieve the best possible results not for his own gain, but for mine. I still consider Ed to be a trusted advisor, and recommend him highly and without hesitation.
