4+ PQEHailey 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.
Raymond Schorr joined Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP in Los Angeles
Dale is unmatched in terms of Los Angeles area recruiting. Dale helped me find a firm which was a perfect fit for me. From working together, it quickly became clear that Dale has a wealth of experience and an unparalleled net of connections. Yet, what I appreciate the most is how Dale took the time to connect with my professional journey on a personal level. He was patient and attentive, celebrating good news with me, and offering me perspective when my confidence ebbed. I could tell he really cared about me, which, combined with Dale's formidable expertise, is exactly what you want in a recruiter. Overall, I could not recommend Dale enough.
Scott Panek joined Freshfields in San Francisco
Kate was amazing to work with! She possesses an incredible mix of expertise, kindness, and professionalism. From day one I knew she was in my corner and would help me find a great fit. She knows the Bay Area legal market inside and out. Kate is the best at what she does, so look no further!
Zhi Yang Tan joined Covington & Burling in Palo Alto
Kate was extremely thoughtful throughout the entire process with regards to making sure that my new firm was the right fit for me given my needs, and I appreciated that she was available to answer questions at any time. I would highly recommend working with her.
Jean Shen joined Sullivan & Cromwell LLP in Palo Alto
Kate is incredible! She is knowledgeable and well-connected in the Bay Area legal market, and truly takes the time to understand your interests and to candidly talk you through each step of the process. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with Kate—aside from being excellent at what she does, she is kind, genuine, and supportive. Kate has my highest recommendation!
Jaylin Stevenson joined Ballard Spahr LLP in Los Angeles
I cannot recommend Priya highly enough. From the very beginning of my job search, she was incredibly thorough, professional, and—above all—supportive. Thanks to her guidance and persistence, I landed at a law firm that I truly love. What stood out most about working with Priya was her clear and consistent communication. She always kept me updated, answered every question thoughtfully, and made sure I felt informed and confident at every stage. She took the time to truly understand what I was looking for, both in terms of the role and the culture, and she matched me with an opportunity that fits me perfectly. Priya's instincts regarding cultural fit were spot on! I have been with my firm for 5 months and I could not be happier with the match. Transitioning jobs can be stressful, but Priya made the entire process smooth, transparent, and even exciting. I’m so grateful for her support and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone seeking a recruiter who genuinely cares and delivers results.
