Max Bartram Esq.

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.
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.

The Lateral Edge

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.

Reem Ahmed joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Dallas

I had the pleasure of working with Kally, and she demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication. She was incredibly proactive in understanding my needs and consistently provided timely updates throughout the process. Kally's deep knowledge of the legal industry was evident in the opportunities she presented, which were well-aligned with my requirements. She offered valuable insights and guided me through each step.

Max was super responsive and targeted in his approach. He brought opportunities to me and listened to feedback to seek out additional opportunities that may not have been available at first glance. He was a pleasure to work with!
Khurram Naik

Khurram Naik

Freshwater Counsel

Carissa Olowos joined Greenberg Traurig, LLP in Houston

I knew that I wanted to use my maternity leave as an opportunity to explore my interest in lateraling to another firm. Working with Khurram made the job search process easy. He answered all my questions, prepped me for my interviews, and communicated with me through the entire process. At one point, I received a call back from a law firm that I did not believe would give me a call back due to me not attending a top law school. He not only coached me up but also fought for me to be classified with my law school graduation class year. I am so thankful our paths crossed. I would recommend him to any one I know.
Rebecca Glatzer

Rebecca Glatzer

Major, Lindsey & Africa

Aaron Shubert joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Dallas

Rebecca provided invaluable support during the job search, going the extra mile to help secure a new position that involved relocating across the country. Her market insights, connections with various firms, and grasp of the lateral field ensured a smooth process. I highly recommend Rebecca to anyone contemplating a lateral move!

Max Bartram Esq.

Coast to Coast Legal Search

Samir Halawi joined Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP in Houston

As I have said to Max in the course of our work together, he has the “Midas touch.” He does not simply reach out to candidates with job opportunities that are posted on law firm websites. He gets to know the candidate and he figures out what they are looking for (for e.g., work, geographic and practice preferences), who they are (personality, work style, background, etc.) and what their goals are, and finds opportunities that match their preferences. Often, these opportunities are not posted on law firm websites and, if they are, he has (or establishes) a direct line of communication with in-house recruiters and partners so that the candidate’s application does not get lost in the shuffle. He works closely with you through the entire hiring process giving very useful and relevant feedback along the way. His years of experience really shine through in this respect. After you are placed, he follows-up with you periodically to make sure all is well. He has a lot of integrity, stands by his word and never gives up until he finds you the right opportunity. I highly recommend working with him.

Ali Qamar joined Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP in Dallas

I worked with Max this past summer to help place me in my current role, and I highly recommend him. Max is probably one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with during my career. He provided a very personalized approach - one that I haven’t seen from many recruiters. Max took the time to genuinely understand my career goals and then sent me quality leads based on these very specific goals. He was available at all times of the day for check-ins and always super responsive. After every interview, he would follow up on how it went and then follow up with the firm as well. If you’re looking for your next position, and want to work with a recruiter that is professional, personable and warm - I highly recommend Max for your search!
