3+ PQETaylore Williams joined Latham & Watkins LLP in Silicon Valley
Ed is an outstanding recruiter who truly goes above and beyond. He transformed a complex hiring process into a smooth, straightforward experience that was easy to navigate. I can't recommend him enough for anyone seeking top-tier talent support.
Eric Doan joined Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian LLP in San Francisco
Andrea is incredibly responsive, strategic and knowledgeable. She was phenomenal at managing every step of the lateral process and I recommend her to anyone else looking to lateral
Johnathan Vaknin joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP in Los Angeles
I worked with Summer throughout my lateral associate move and can't recommend her highly enough. She took the time to understand what I actually wanted out of my next role and surfaced niche opportunities I wouldn't have found on my own. She was also a steady guide through the trickier parts of the process: navigating conflicts checks and managing the notice and transition period at my previous firm. Her advice was practical, her communication was prompt, and I always felt like I had someone in my corner.
Claire Norman joined Fenwick & West in San Francisco
I am beyond lucky to know and have worked with Kate. Her willingness to help during the application and interview process was invaluable, just like her insight into the Bay Area legal market. She will find you a firm that is the best fit for you and the career you want to build yourself, and she will cheer you on each step of the way. Kate is kind and thoughtful beyond measure, and I couldn't have done it without her.
Hailey Oberst joined Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP in San Francisco
I recently worked with Priya and had a great experience! She was incredibly responsive and supportive throughout the entire process. She ultimately placed me in my current role with the L&E group at Sheppard, and I’m very grateful for her guidance and help in securing this opportunity. I highly recommend her to anyone considering a lateral move.
Manda McElrath joined Baker McKenzie in Palo Alto
Priya is absolutely amazing, and I am so happy I chose her as the recruiter to work with throughout my lateral move. Priya played a key role in helping me successfully transition from a regional, mid-sized firm to Big Law, offering thoughtful guidance, candid advice, and constant support (even when she was technically on vacation). From coordinating a barrage of interviews to offering a kind ear when things got overwhelming, she was incredibly helpful, reliable, and truly went the extra mile at every stage of the process.
JeAnne Reyes joined Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP in San Francisco
Kate was instrumental in helping me find the job I had been looking for, but didn’t know existed. She’s efficient, focused, and brings her authentic self to the task at hand. From job search to comp negotiations, she was always in my corner, and helped me secure the unicorn job I was looking for. Anyone would be lucky to work with her.
Ashley N. Nguyen joined Venable LLP in San Francisco
There is a reason why Kate is known as one of the best legal recruiters in the Bay Area. She brings a wealth of industry and firm connections and deeply understands the market. She listens carefully to your preferences and concerns to make sure that you are being placed at the best firm for you. She leads with empathy and will always “tell you like it is.” I cannot recommend her enough.
Jacob Bridges-Axelrad joined Davis Wright Tremaine LLP in Los Angeles
I worked with Priya to secure my current position, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to work with her. She was a consummate professional throughout the process, making it as smooth and enjoyable as it could be. Thanks to Priya, I am so happy at my new job. I would recommend her to any attorney looking to engage in the lateral process.
Chloe Wigul joined McDermott Will & Schulte in Los Angeles
