Recruiter activity in Texas

Ed Hossain

Ed Hossain

Long Ridge Partners

Connor Kilgallen joined Vinson & Elkins LLP in Austin

Ed was recommended to me by a friend and assisted me with a lateral move. He is a pleasure to work with. He has all the qualities needed -- responsiveness, knowledge of the market, and the required experience to help inform approach. In addition I found he was really good at remembering details about my sensitivities and concerns. Maybe he is just great at taking notes, but it really gave me confidence in his guidance. I really recommend working with Ed.

Long Ridge Partners

Farhad Tahir joined Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP in Houston

Ed is a great recruiter who goes beyond what I expected him to do. I had a great experience ever since my first call with him where he meticulously went through different points to understand what it is that I want out of my career, and also taking time to explain what the market is like and who to target. After that he was on top of everything, from follow-ups to scheduling and became a great resource to help bounce ideas off of when it came time to make my decision. Highly recommend anyone to reach out to Ed if they are in the lateral market.

Coast to Coast Legal Search

Courtney Wax Lewis joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Austin

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience working with Max. My job search involved relocating from New York to Texas, and he made the entire process feel seamless. He goes above and beyond, leveraging relationships with partners at top law firms to help get your foot in the door. Max was very helpful in terms of interview prep, and he consistently followed up at every stage of the process, including check-ins even after I accepted my offer. He genuinely cares about the people he works with. I highly recommend Max to anyone who is serious about making a career move.

McClure Harrison, Inc.

Gregory Logan, PhD, JD joined Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian LLP in Austin

Jessica is a stand out among legal recruiters. She identified job opportunities that I didn’t even know I was qualified for, and thoroughly reviewed my resume and prepared me for my interviews. Jessica made my job search a breeze!
George Webster

Marsden

Nicholas Moore joined White & Case LLP in Houston

George was great to work with. He was responsive and knowledgeable about the market. His insights helped manage all expectations involved. Unlike many recruiters, George was genuine, and not overly aggressive or pushy. I felt at all times that George had my best interest in mind.
Andrew J. Merson

Andrew J. Merson

Aardvark Legal Search

Jordan Armstrong joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP in Houston

Andrew provided a bespoke experience in helping me lateral to a new workplace. I was under no pressure to leave my current employer and, as such, I told Andrew that I was only interested in moving to a firm that could provide a laundry list of requirements - including a move to a smaller, popular, insular market. Andrew was honest with me and immediately returned the only option that had potential to provide what I was looking for. We worked together to contact that firm, putting my best foot forward, and it turned out to be an opportunity so good that I was compelled to jump. Andrew led from the front during the entire process, informing me of the necessary steps without wasting my time or attempting to divert me to other opportunities that may have been more of a sure thing for him. The experience was excellent and after hearing a variety of horror stories, I am thankful that I contacted Andrew. I have already recommended Andrew to a few folks in my network and will not hesitate to do so again.

Colin Giuseppe Cox joined Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP in Dallas

Rhea is an amazing professional. She helped me find and obtain a very bespoke opportunity. From preparation to negotiation, she remained communicative and supportive throughout the process. She is incredibly transparent and has her candidate’s best interest always at heart; I never felt pressured to do or accept anything. I highly recommend working with Rhea. She is both a great professional resource and a great person to work with.

Slate Legal Recruiting

Dylan White joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Houston

It was an absolute pleasure working with Ren; he is an amazing recruiter. His insight into the lateral market and his connections at top-tier firms made the lateral process smooth. The lateral process can be a stressful process, however, Ren provided guidance throughout all phases of the process, which made the process far less stressful. I strongly recommend Ren to anyone considering a move!
