Working with Evan was a terrific experience. He has great insight into the current legal market and the ability to connect with the right people. He made a stressful process feel straightforward and simple. A great choice for any attorney looking to make a move.
Patti Burris joined DLA Piper in Boston
When I engaged Khurram and Freshwater Counsel, I came in with a very short target list of firms in a challenging market, and they helped me secure competing offers from that list. I understand from friends’ lateral experiences that such precision is rare in the lateral market. What impressed me most was how skillfully Khurram managed the negotiation phase. Salary, bonus, and timing are always sensitive issues, and it can be a challenge to advocate for yourself without souring the relationship with a future employer before you even start. Khurram handled these conversations with exactly the right balance of persistence and diplomacy, ensuring I landed on terms that reflected my priorities while leaving the firms genuinely excited to bring me on board. I cannot recommend Freshwater Counsel highly enough to anyone looking to make a thoughtful, strategic lateral move in big law. Khurram, Jared and the Freshwater team make a daunting process feel targeted, efficient, and ultimately successful.
Lily Johnson Cardona joined Goodwin Procter LLP in Boston
I had the pleasure of working with Evan during my recent job search for my lateral move from NYC to Boston. Evan's expertise and dedication were instrumental in helping me secure a fantastic opportunity. Throughout the entire process, Evan was highly responsive, and his professionalism and commitment were evident in his proactive communication and assistance in preparation for interviews. Evan provided valuable insights and guidance, which greatly contributed to my confidence and success during the interview process. Most of all, I appreciated Evan candor and honesty. He took the time to learn about my career objectives and find a firm that was the best fit for me.
Rachael Walker joined Goodwin Procter LLP in Boston
I honestly cannot recommend Greg enough. I had a few specific concerns I wanted to address in my lateral move. Greg helped me prioritize positions that met the criteria I was looking for, and was candid about positions he didn't think would help me meet my career goals. He also gave invaluable advice for the interviews themselves. I'm not great at interviewing, and I honestly don't think I would have got the position I did without his guidance. I couldn't be happier with my move!
David Bowles joined Troutman Pepper Locke in Boston
Jessica's help was invaluable in my lateral experience. Jessica is very well connected and her experience with interfacing with law firms is tremendous. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking to achieve their career goals.
Krithika Rajkumar joined Holland & Knight LLP in Boston
My experience with Vijay truly exceeded my expectations in what I thought a recruiter could do in the lateral process. From our very first phone conversation, Vijay was extremely thoughtful in crafting a narrative of my desires and goals and ensured that I was getting opportunities that would match my career goals. He went above and beyond even with opportunities that he did not find for me. He helped me prepare for interviews, running through mock questions and made sure that I was pleased with his approach throughout the process. He was proactive, timely, and communicative with everything that he was doing. More than anything, he was an excellent advocate of me and what I brought to the table. As a woman and as a minority attorney in BigLaw, I am always mindful of the culture that I am stepping into, and Vijay's general knowledge of firms and what they are looking for was crucial in my lateral offer acceptance. I am have truly gained a friend in him through this process and I highly recommend using him, especially if you are a diverse attorney looking to make a move or simply want to know what opportunities currently exist.
