Rhea Bagaria, Esq.

The Lateral Edge

Working with Rhea was a truly outstanding experience. Her hard work, tenacity and the value of her guidance and advice was really remarkable. I cannot recommend someone more highly as a guide through the difficult process of a lateral move.

Rebecca was an absolute joy to work with. She was super communicative throughout the entire process (even after I accepted my offer), helped me navigate the uncharted waters of lateral recruiting and provided invaluable insight and advice about the interview process. I could not recommend her services more. I would not have succeeded without her!

I connected with Ren through the recommendation of a law school friend whom he had successfully helped with a lateral move to another law firm. I, too, highly recommend Ren to any attorney considering a lateral transition. As many attorneys know, there is no shortage of legal recruiters, and it can be difficult to determine which ones are genuinely invested in their candidates’ success. Ren is unquestionably one of the best. He is thoughtful and intentional in developing a tailored plan of action, and equally effective in helping to execute it. His knowledge of the BigLaw landscape is second to none, and that expertise gave me great confidence in entrusting him with my search. Just as importantly, he is an absolute pleasure to work with — professional, kind, and genuinely supportive throughout the process.

Big thanks to Andrew Merson for helping me land a great new role. He was super responsive, thoughtful, and provided great advice every step of the way. Andrew made the process smooth and straightforward, and I’m really grateful for his support and guidance throughout the transition. Highly recommend working with him if you're exploring new opportunities.

I fortunately connected with Jack a few months into my job search in Charlotte. He worked promptly and efficiently from the outset. He identified a number of legitimate openings for me, before we landed on an ideal opportunity that we ultimately pursued in earnest. He wasted little time moving the process along and he did not distract our search with fruitless job postings. I appreciated his professionalism throughout the process, and would gladly recommend him to other attorneys searching for a new opportunity.
