  • Kate Reder Sheikh
    Top recruiter for this opening

    Kate Reder Sheikh

    Legal Recruiter

    Major, Lindsey & Africa

    Why talk to Kate Reder Sheikh?

    George Stephens joined Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP's San Francisco office in the Corporate group.

    Kate is an elite legal recruiter, who not only has an intimate understanding of the Bay Area market, but understands people extremely well. At no point in time did I feel pressured to make a decision I wasn't ready to commit to, and Kate represented my interests by honestly informing me of the good and bad parts of each opportunity in the market. I truly believe that Kate cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to answer any question you may have -- however trivial they may be. Kate was integral to helping me move from Sydney, Australia to the Bay Area and helped me secure my dream role. In what would otherwise be an extremely stressful process, Kate made the entire move easy. I would highly recommend Kate for anyone who is seeking a lateral move -- she was (and continues to be) superb.
