Michelle Mount joined White & Case’s Houston office in the Capital Markets group.
I ran a competitive process, met with around 15 recruiters and was cautious in determining who to work with. Andrew came out so far ahead of the bunch, in follow up, level of detail, honesty, knowledge and fast communication. He is so on top of everything! He knew exactly what type of law I did, found the perfect positions, helped review my resume and gave helpful insight. A true superstar - thank you!!
