Recruiter activity in California

Priya Gulati

Priya Gulati

Pacific Legal Search

Sherene T. joined WilmerHale in Los Angeles

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!
Amanda Finley, Esq.

Amanda Finley, Esq.

Lateral Match

Daniel Tran joined Dechert LLP in Los Angeles

Amanda is an excellent and empowering legal recruiter! She was recommended by a good friend of mine and for good reason. She understood my goals and supported me throughout the lateral process. She also prepared me well for all my interviews and made me feel confident during them. Amanda is also very responsive and easy to talk to. She takes time to understand who you are, where you are, and where you want to be. If you want a recruiter who will keep your spirits high and set you up to achieve your goals, Amanda's the recruiter for you!
Ed Hossain

Long Ridge Partners

Taylore 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.
Summer Eberhard

Summer Eberhard

Lateral Link

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.
Kate Reder Sheikh

Kate Reder Sheikh

Major, Lindsey & Africa

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.

Krishna Shah joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP in San Francisco

Kate is the BEST. She helped me land exactly where I needed to be (even if I didn’t know it at the time) and was supremely helpful at every single stage of the way—from years before I was sure I wanted to make a move when I first reached out to her to settling in to my new gig. Kate’s experience and advice helped me navigate making sure my intersectional identities were respected and my needs were met. Kate hung around while I found the right fit and never pressured me to accept offers or pursue opportunities that weren’t going to work for me. Kate’s perspective, patience, experience, thoughtfulness, and kindness made the process infinitely easier.
Priya Gulati

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.

Pacific Legal Search

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.

Major, Lindsey & Africa

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.
