    Legal Recruiter

    Major, Lindsey & Africa

    Why talk to Kate Reder Sheikh?

    Thomas Tyson joined Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP's San Francisco office in the Litigation group.

    Kate is the person you want in your corner if you’re planning to go through the stresses that are a lateral move. Not only are her deep connections in the market immediately evident (we were instantly in contact with the select few firms I had on my list), but she strives to ensure her clients are supported and heard. She exerts considerable effort to humanize the process, and clearly cares about your well-being. Add that on top of her impressive technical skills—e.g., conducting mock interviews, helping with cover letters, answering frantic text messages—and you have an outstanding recruiter. I could not have chosen a better person to help with my move.

    Why talk to Khurram Naik?

    Khurram helped me with a lateral move in the IP litigation space. Overall, he is talented, knowledgeable, and understanding. He takes the time to understand where you're looking to improve, put together a plan, and guide you through each step. I'd strongly recommend him for anyone looking to understand their options as they move forward in their career. Most importantly, I felt that Khurram was my advocate throughout the process. He gives you the space to consider your options without any pressure, and he advocates for your best interests when talking to firms. Keep it up, Khurram!

    Legal Recruiter

    Long Ridge Partners

    Why talk to Ed Hossain?

    David Hien Lien joined Baker Botts LLP's Palo Alto office in the Intellectual Property group.

    Ed is a fantastic recruiter and different from the rest. Instead of simply blasting openings in the industry looking for people of my class year and background, Ed listened to the specific particulars of what I was looking for in my next opportunity. As a result we collaborated on a select number of firms and Ed eventually helped me land my current role. I'm extremely happy here and it's as a result of Ed's efforts throughout the entire process. Ed is professional and cool under pressure at the same time; we were able to make this a fun and exciting journey. I'd highly recommend (and have recommended) Ed to anyone looking for the next stop in their legal journey!

    Lateral Link

    Why talk to Summer Eberhard?

    Anjali Krishnan joined Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati's San Francisco office in the Tax group.

    Summer helped me navigate the west coast legal market as a foreign attorney which was a challenge with my practice. She gave great insights on the market to steer me in the right direction and even worked with me in putting my materials together. Most importantly, she was extremely responsive and managed my expectations along the journey. I am thankful to her for helping me transition to the US market.

    Legal Recruiter

    Long Ridge Partners

    Why talk to Alan Hershkowitz?

    Saurabh Prabhakar joined O'Melveny & Myers LLP's San Francisco office in the Intellectual Property group.

    Alan is not just a recruiter to me but my trusted confidant and friend. Alan has worked with me on two lateral moves and each time he had my complete trust. Alan earned my trust by demonstrating that he was listening to me--something I value highly. When I was planning my first lateral move, other recruiters tried to sell me what they had and not what I wanted from my next firm. But Alan provided me with options that fit my requirements. Alan is also dependable. Besides the big things like interview prep and offer negotiation, Alan kept his commitment in even the most routine but important things, like keeping me informed, calling at the scheduled time, and providing me with detailed data to help me with my decisions. Alan candidly discussed the options I had and was never pushy. Advice he gave me about my options was consistent with the advice I got from several seasoned lawyers. Finally, at offer time, Alan zealously advocated for the requests that I had for my future employers. So when I thought about another lateral move, Alan was my first and only call. For all these reasons, I highly recommend Alan to attorneys looking for a lateral opportunity.

    Why talk to Lavinia Gladstone?

    Kyoko Makino joined Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP's Los Angeles office in the Intellectual Property group.

    Lavinia is a great recruiter to work with. She tried to understand my needs and was patient while working with me as it took us several months before she could find me the firm that suites my needs the best. I couldn’t have asked her to find me the better place to work for. I’m very happy with the transition and the hard work she provided. I highly recommend working with her.
