Why talk to Darin Morgan?
Gary Brooks joined Ropes & Gray LLP's District of Columbia office in the Compliance/Regulatory group.
I highly recommend Darin as a legal recruiter. He has a great understanding of the lateral market and of different firms and practice groups. In my experience he employed a calm, thoughtful and deliberative process to help me through applying, interviewing, and accepting an offer. I found his guidance during the process to be excellent.

Ropes & Gray LLP • District of ColumbiaWhy talk to Steven G. Weiler?
Ryan Migeed joined Mayer Brown LLP's District of Columbia office in the Litigation group.
There are so many reasons I would recommend working with Steven as you take the next steps in your legal career. Above all, I appreciated Steven’s knowledge, personal touch, and respect for the ways in which I wanted to shape my career as we worked together to find my next step. Steven has a deep knowledge of the legal market and an active “rolodex” of contacts who trust his judgment when he recommends candidates for open roles. These are reasons enough to entrust your next career move to Steven’s guidance, but Steven is also a joy to work with, someone who will get to know you as a person and will help bring out your best qualities as an applicant. Steven is there for you every step of the process. Lateraling can be daunting and questions undoubtedly arise. Steven was a trusted confidant and I always felt comfortable seeking his advice. He never forgets the person behind the application; in fact, he works to draw that person out so that they can put their best foot forward, confident in who they are and how they fit into a new role. Steven helped me build the confidence to take the next step in my career. He also checks in with you. You are never left hanging or waiting to learn information from him. He will keep you as informed as he is. He is your partner in the process, not someone who simply clicks “submit” when your application is ready. Perhaps most importantly, while he is a steady guide throughout the process, Steven also respects your choices and redlines and the ways in which you want to shape your career. He listens when you explain what you are looking for and he remembers details. If you want to remove particular roles from consideration because of the direction in which you are trying to drive your career, he accepts and respects those considerations. He does not push you to make a deal or accept an offer simply because it’s there. He wants the best fit for you just as much as you do. I highly recommend working with Steven to take the next step in your legal career.

Rhea is a consummate professional. She masterfully guided me through the lateral process with her exceptional responsiveness and targeted strategy based on our conversations. Her effectiveness, thoroughness, and thoughtfulness were on clear display as she helped me secure my new role. I can't recommend Rhea enough if you're considering a lateral move.

Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP • District of ColumbiaWhy talk to Khurram Naik?
Erin Drolet joined Clifford Chance's District of Columbia office in the Energy group.
In preparing for my lateral move, I had a lot of questions about the logistics of the process and how to prepare for interviews. Khurram was very helpful during the experience because he was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable on the lateral market. His advice and guidance made the experience very smooth and his positivity throughout made the transition much less daunting. I would not have been able to make the move without his help!

Priya is absolutely amazing and I can't speak highly enough of her services. She truly cares about her clients and helps them to find a fit that works for every aspect of their lives, both personally and professionally. She is thorough, responsive, and works very hard for her clients. She is an absolute gem!

Kirkland & Ellis LLP • District of ColumbiaWhy talk to Alan Hershkowitz?
Kate Peterson joined Paul Hastings LLP's District of Columbia office in the Finance group.
I worked with Alan while I was trying to change firms in late 2021. Alan was great about informing me of new opportunities in the DC market and helping me through the whole process of applying, interviewing, and accepting my new position. Alan was also always responsive with any questions and with helping to schedule my interviews. For those looking to switch out of the Delaware market, I would certainly recommend Alan since he has an understanding of the type of work that attorneys perform in Delaware.

Paul Hastings LLP • District of ColumbiaWhy talk to Max Bartram Esq.?
Alexis D. joined Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP's Washington office in the Energy group.
Working with Max was an all around positive experience. He took the time to listen and understand my career interests and goals, and presented a variety of opportunities to me that aligned with those goals. He also reassured me throughout the process that the most important thing was that I found the right fit for my lateral move, and did not rush me into making any particular decision. I would recommend Max to any friend of mine looking to make a move!
