T.J. Miller joined DLA’s Chicago office in the Real Estate group.
One thing that really stood out to me was Andrew sending me an opportunity even though it didn’t allow recruiter submissions. That told me he genuinely cared more about helping me find the right opportunity than just getting credit for a placement and I really respected that. Highly recommend!

Sohail Khan joined Paul Hastings’s Chicago office in the Real Estate group.
Priya really went above and beyond as a recruiter. In one of the toughest real estate lateral markets in recent history, Priya guided me through the extremely choppy waters to landing at a top firm in my city of choice. Priya is organized, thorough, responsive and has deep relationships with top firms’ recruiting departments. She keeps a constantly updated list of firms which you have applied to and garners feedback from interviews to help you improve, constantly tweaking your resume for each position you apply to. She also takes your calls at all hours, even late at night before interviews to help you prepare. 5/5 I highly recommend.
