    Why talk to Priya Gulati?

    Nicholas Macaluso joined Venable LLP's California office in the Labor & Employment group.

    It was a pleasure working with and getting to know Priya. She was so easy to talk to and she was responsive to calls, texts, and emails at any time of day. Priya's advice and guidance during the job search/on-boarding process was on point and I would have never been able to make the lateral move I did without her.

    There is a reason why Kate is known as one of the best legal recruiters in the Bay Area. She brings a wealth of industry and firm connections and deeply understands the market. She listens carefully to your preferences and concerns to make sure that you are being placed at the best firm for you. She leads with empathy and will always “tell you like it is.” I cannot recommend her enough.
