Corporate Finance Services Group Associate

I highly recommend Evan. I worked with Evan for nearly 3 years as an associate, and then counsel, at my prior firm. Evan was a consummate professional, always available and a real asset to me in my career search. At every juncture, it always felt like Evan had my best interests at heart, even as I decided initially to stay in my current firm and pursue an opportunity there. When it came time to pursue a role outside my firm, he had all the right contacts and relationships/resources to get me in front of key decisionmakers at all the most prestigious firms and was able to find and negotiate multiple job offers for me, even during a challenging lateral hiring window. I would highly recommend Evan, he is a great person to work with, is well respected in his field and by his clients and the firms he places them at, and he always keeps the interests of the candidate at the front of his mind throughout the process. I hope I don’t need his services again, but if I do, I know I will be in good hands.

Alan is an exceptional recruiter. Throughout the process, he was hands-on, highly diligent and refreshingly down-to-earth. With Alan advocating for me, I felt confident that I would secure the right placement on my own terms. His extensive knowledge of the market, the recruiting process and the key players was truly impressive. While I hope I never need his services again, I would not hesitate for a moment to work with him in the future.

Greg was a huge asset to me as I navigated big law recruiting. He was always available to answer my questions and provided excellent advice as I navigated both my interviews as well as my decision once I had received offers. He is very knowledgeable about current trends in legal recruiting and was well-aware of how to tailor my candidacy for different firms' cultures. I could not have navigated this process without his help and would strongly recommend his services to other attorneys looking to make a move in this market.

Darin is a top-notch recruiter who helped make my dream job a reality. His invaluable knowledge of the legal market and the resources from Major, Lindsey & Africa that he brings to his candidates is superb. Darin goes above and beyond to respond to any and all inquiries and to understand his candidates in order to find the right placement. He will become your biggest cheerleader as well as a trusted advisor. I highly recommend working with Darin.

Jack helped place me in my current role and was great to work with throughout the interviewing and hiring process. He was very empathetic, communicative and professional, and took the time to fully understand my career goals. I’m very appreciative for his guidance, and recommend him for other attorneys who are looking to make a move.

I worked with George for a recent move and had a seamless experience navigating the NYC lateral market. Despite being based in London, George worked around EST hours and always made himself available as per my convenience. I was impressed by his knowledge of the NYC legal markets and appreciated the effort he put in trying to understand my background and goals so he could find me the best fit. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering a lateral move.

Jessica made a significant effort to identify firms for me that I would be a good fit at--which was not easy, because I was extremely picky about what I was looking for in a firm and a particular practice area. She went the extra mile to ensure my comfort with the recruitment process, answering my questions at every step of the way. She's responsive and friendly, never pushy or scare tactic-y, unlike other recruiters, and is great at helping revise application materials. She helped make my lateral application and interviewing experience a really great one. 10/10 would recommend!

I had a great experience working with Ed. He really knows the lateral process inside and out. Ed was extremely helpful walking me through what to expect, which made for a smooth application process.

If you are looking to make a lateral move, or even just thinking about it, you need to speak with Susan. When you work with Susan, you don’t simply get a recruiter—you get a consultant, a mentor, a counselor, and a friend. Susan’s knowledge of the legal market knows no limits, and she has expertise that can only be acquired from years of being at the top of her field. Moreover, Susan is an absolute delight to work with, and her positivity and enthusiasm make the process enjoyable! From my first phone call with Susan, it was clear that she is in a class all her own. Susan took the time to discuss my background, listen to my priorities and career goals, and get to know me as a person. I am a regulatory health attorney, and my practice area is very specific. Susan never pushed me toward a role for the sake of it—instead, Susan sought my input to make sure that we focused on my exact area of health law. Susan is 100% invested in her candidates, and it shows. She coached me through each step, from perfecting my resume to rigorously preparing me for every single interview. Susan's dedication to her candidates goes above and beyond professional guidance and mentorship—she always made time for me, no matter how seemingly minor my question might have been, and she remained engaged and accessible throughout the process. Thanks to Susan, I am in the perfect role. I am grateful that Susan was my recruiter and legal placement consultant, and I am even more fortunate to call her my mentor and friend. I cannot recommend Susan highly enough!

Rebecca is a fantastic recruiter and advisor. At each step of my elongated lateral process, Rebecca was an incredible advocate who always put my best interest at the forefront. It was also clear to me that Rebecca has a strong hold on the legal market, enabling her to find the perfect fit for my long term career goals. I’m grateful for Rebecca (and the MLA team at large) for all of her hard work on my process.

I would highly recommend Steven to anyone contemplating a lateral move. Steven went above and beyond throughout the entirety of my lateraling process. He made it clear from the beginning he wanted to support my long-term goals and followed through on that every step of the way. He is consistently responsive, honest and insightful. I particularly appreciated his thoughtful advice as I navigated moving cities, getting application materials together, interviewing and ultimately accepting an offer. He made what could have been a very stressful time exponentially better. He is incredibly knowledgable and has continued to provide support as I have transitioned to my new role. It is evident Steven takes the time to get to know the candidates he works with personally and has your best interests in mind always. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Steven. If you are thinking about making a lateral move, Steven is an incredible resource and advocate for everyone he works with.

Kally was an absolute pleasure to work with during the transition that led to my lateral move to Winston & Strawn LLP. From our first conversation, it was evident that she possessed a deep understanding of the legal market. She took a highly strategic and personalized approach to help me evaluate multiple opportunities. Her insights into firm culture, practice group dynamics, and market trends were instrumental in preparing me effectively for each stage of the process. Beyond her expertise, Kally was exceptionally responsive, supportive, proactive, and a trusted advisor. She assisted me with resume and interview prep, offer negotiation, and took the time to understand my goals. Throughout the process, she ensured that I felt confident and informed. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to any attorney exploring their next move.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Rhea on my next placement. She was receptive of my non-negotiables and realistic about the current market. Rhea’s professionalism and customer service is second to none. I would recommend her to attorneys looking to plan their next move without hesitation.

If you are a legal professional looking to make a move, I HIGHLY recommend engaging Bryson to assist! From our initial conversation to our final offer negotiation, Bryson displayed an incredible amount of understanding, guidance and judgment that made my entire lateral process seamless. Bryson is incredibly responsive and custom-tailors an approach to the lateral process that perfectly aligns with your goals and will enable you to secure a position that is the perfect “fit” for you. As a diverse attorney candidate, I cannot express how helpful it was to have someone who could relate to me, listen and understand my professional goals, and help guide me to a place where I believe I can successfully continue my legal career. Bryson’s deep understanding of market conditions and his relentless advocacy helped me secure an offer on terms that were above and beyond what I believed to be “market”. I absolutely, without reservation, endorse Bryson’s services.

I wholeheartedly recommend Brandon. He helped me achieve what many said couldn’t be done, which was landing my dream position in the sports world. His guidance, persistence, and confidence in me created an opportunity that changed my career path. Brandon is the most responsive and genuine recruiter I have worked with. I could not be more grateful.

From my very first phone call with Vijay, I knew that he was a sharp professional, had an extensive understanding of the legal market, and was someone I would feel comfortable working with throughout my lateral career search. Over the course of a few weeks, Vijay truly became a coach, a teammate, and a confidant all in one. Vijay made sure I was extremely well prepared for each step of the process. He spent a lot of time talking me through the logistics, answering my questions, and strategizing with me. More importantly, during every conversation with Vijay, I felt supported and guided. When I had to make tough decisions, Vijay was there to bounce ideas off of, to help me work through my thoughts, and to offer his insight. Vijay’s impressive knowledge of and experience with the legal profession make him a great recruiter, but what really sets him apart is his ability to connect with people on a level that goes deeper than the surface. I truly felt like Vijay cared about me, my future, and my goals. He went above and beyond to make my experience as positive and successful as possible. I highly recommend Vijay to anyone who is considering making a career move in the legal field. I wholeheartedly believe that working with Vijay is the best decision you can make. I am so grateful to have worked with him and am very thankful for all that he did to help me pursue my dreams.

Allison is one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with - she is super hardworking, on top of it no matter what, and very helpful with interview prep / industry knowledge. It was great working with her!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Ren while making a lateral switch to my new law firm. He was always responsive and attentive to my questions/needs, and had incredibly helpful advice throughout the process. I would highly recommend Ren to anyone looking to make a move.

I worked with Bally on my move from London to New York. Bally was excellent to work with - responsive, attentive to what I was asking for and very personable. I was able to run through what kind of role I was looking for and she helped me narrow down a great list of opportunities and carved out an unposted role for me. I felt comfortable and supported on every step of my journey and cannot recommend Bally highly enough!

Priya went above and beyond for me during my search for an associate attorney position. She has a fantastic grasp of the big law market, and was able to find positions that fit well with my personal goals and aspirations. She also made herself available to me 24/7 to provide constructive feedback, advice, and her honest opinions. I would not have been able to navigate the grueling interview process without Priya by my side every step of the way. I cannot recommend her services enough!

I had an excellent time working with Amanda, who recently helped place me at an international law firm. She was extremely professional and responsive. Amanda really took an interest getting to know me as a candidate, and was genuinely interested in hearing and understanding my goals and feedback. I felt Amanda was a strong advocate for me in the process when she could tell that I would be a good fit at a firm, and was always providing encouragement in the process when I needed it. She always offered a lot of very useful information about the roles I was interviewing for. She was very proactive in providing updates about the market which she shared even without me having to ask. I would easily recommend Amanda.

Max was hugely helpful in my search, proactively running opportunities by me, but also creating them from thin air. He's a talented recruiter and also a very kind, fun person to chat with. That personality goes far in terms of sourcing opportunities for his clients. Lastly, his level of care and diligence sets him far apart from the scores of recruiters that reach out to us daily.

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!
