I ran a competitive process, met with around 15 recruiters and was cautious in determining who to work with. Andrew came out so far ahead of the bunch, in follow up, level of detail, honesty, knowledge and fast communication. He is so on top of everything! He knew exactly what type of law I did, found the perfect positions, helped review my resume and gave helpful insight. A true superstar - thank you!!

Ed was hands down the best legal recruiter I’ve spoken with and I’m so happy I had the opportunity to work with him. He is extremely responsive, thoughtful, and diligent and was incredibly helpful in the entire search for new position as a lateral associate, from deciding where to apply, preparing for interviews, and ultimately choosing my new firm. I grew quickly to trust his judgment and strong insights into the legal market and he was a true partner in navigating every moment of recruiting. I could not recommend him more strongly.

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.
