I had the pleasure of working with Amanda Finley during my transition to Seyfarth, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first conversation through the final stages of the process, she was professional, responsive, transparent, and genuinely invested in finding the right fit - not just filling a position. She communicated proactively, kept me informed every step of the way, and made what can often be a stressful process feel seamless. What impressed me most was her integrity and attention to detail. She took the time to understand my career goals, advocated for me throughout the process, and consistently followed through on every commitment she made. Her guidance gave me confidence that I was making the right move, and I'm grateful for the role she played in helping me join Seyfarth. If you're considering a career move or you're an employer looking for exceptional talent, I would recommend working with Amanda without hesitation. She is an outstanding recruiter and an absolute professional.

I can’t recommend Jenny highly enough! She is an outstanding recruiter who truly advocates for her candidates. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, was incredibly responsive and supportive throughout the process, and ultimately helped me find a great fit. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly goes above and beyond.

Priya is so fantastic that everyone in my family, and many of my friends, know her name. That's because I have been so impressed with her generosity and thoughtfulness that over the course of the past few years, I couldn't help but rave about her (even to all these non-lawyers)! I first connected with Priya when she cold-emailed me during the early days of COVID. I was a first-year associate facing a lot of uncertainty. Even though I didn't make a move then, Priya gave her time freely and became not only an invaluable resource, but also a friend. She also never oversold opportunities or pressured me in any way. When I was ready to make a move a few years later, she really had my best interests at heart. With her guidance, I received multiple offers from top firms and landed at WilmerHale. I will always recommend Priya wholeheartedly!

Max helped me through a career transition with utmost attentiveness and care. At every step of the transition, Max discerningly asked about my levels of interest and excitement so as to make sure I felt right about our agreed path forward. In my case, I transitioned to a firm to which Max personally sought and reached out because he felt that the firm was a fit based on our conversations. I am grateful for Max's industriousness on my behalf and innate ability to connect with people while introducing me in a positive light, which set the tone for an amazing outcome for me. I would and will recommend Max to anyone thinking about a career change.
