Recruiter activity

Ed Hossain

Long Ridge Partners

Connor Kilgallen joined Vinson & Elkins LLP in Austin

Ed was recommended to me by a friend and assisted me with a lateral move. He is a pleasure to work with. He has all the qualities needed -- responsiveness, knowledge of the market, and the required experience to help inform approach. In addition I found he was really good at remembering details about my sensitivities and concerns. Maybe he is just great at taking notes, but it really gave me confidence in his guidance. I really recommend working with Ed.

Andrew J. Merson

Aardvark Legal Search

Jordan Armstrong joined Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP in Houston

Andrew provided a bespoke experience in helping me lateral to a new workplace. I was under no pressure to leave my current employer and, as such, I told Andrew that I was only interested in moving to a firm that could provide a laundry list of requirements - including a move to a smaller, popular, insular market. Andrew was honest with me and immediately returned the only option that had potential to provide what I was looking for. We worked together to contact that firm, putting my best foot forward, and it turned out to be an opportunity so good that I was compelled to jump. Andrew led from the front during the entire process, informing me of the necessary steps without wasting my time or attempting to divert me to other opportunities that may have been more of a sure thing for him. The experience was excellent and after hearing a variety of horror stories, I am thankful that I contacted Andrew. I have already recommended Andrew to a few folks in my network and will not hesitate to do so again.

Max Bartram Esq.

Coast to Coast Legal Search

Alexis D. joined Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, LLP in Washington

Working with Max was an all around positive experience. He took the time to listen and understand my career interests and goals, and presented a variety of opportunities to me that aligned with those goals. He also reassured me throughout the process that the most important thing was that I found the right fit for my lateral move, and did not rush me into making any particular decision. I would recommend Max to any friend of mine looking to make a move!

Khurram Naik

Freshwater Counsel

Erin Drolet joined Clifford Chance in District of Columbia

In preparing for my lateral move, I had a lot of questions about the logistics of the process and how to prepare for interviews. Khurram was very helpful during the experience because he was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable on the lateral market. His advice and guidance made the experience very smooth and his positivity throughout made the transition much less daunting. I would not have been able to make the move without his help!

Rhea Bagaria, Esq.

The Lateral Edge

Jeffrey E. Joseph joined Troutman Pepper Locke in District of Columbia

It was an absolute pleasure working with Rhea on my next placement. She was receptive of my non-negotiables and realistic about the current market. Rhea’s professionalism and customer service is second to none. I would recommend her to attorneys looking to plan their next move without hesitation.

Darin Morgan

Major, Lindsey & Africa

Steve Boughton joined Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati in District of Columbia

Darin helped me secure the dream job with a team that meets all my needs. He has high emotional intelligence, keeping me on track without being pushy. Most importantly, Darin is invested in his clients for the longterm. Though we first spoke many months prior to the role I landed, Darin instantly alerted me to the unicorn role as soon as it came on the market. His timeliness meant that I had an offer before most recruiters had even flagged the position for me. I cannot recommend working with Darin enough.

Darin Morgan

Major, Lindsey & Africa

Chad Richards joined Kirkland & Ellis LLP in District of Columbia

Darin is responsive, knowledgeable and practical. Highly recommend.

Kate Reder Sheikh

Major, Lindsey & Africa

Monica Molina joined Davis Wright Tremaine LLP in San Francisco

Kate is a great resource and advisor, and I can’t recommend her enough. She is extremely knowledgeable and well-positioned to advise on opportunities in the Bay Area. She was very responsive, and there was no question too small or insignificant. She uses her extensive experience to give reasoned and thoughtful advice. On a personal level, she is very fun to talk to and I really enjoyed our conversations!

Dale Durham

Major, Lindsey & Africa

Ellen Campbell joined Vinson & Elkins LLP in Los Angeles

Dale was a thoughtful and diligent recruiter. He listened to what I wanted and worked hard to find me the opportunities I was interested in, even when it was a tough sell on the other side. This was markedly different from other recruiters I had worked with who seemed more interested in selling me on the opportunities they needed to fill when it became clear that it was going to be hard to help me fulfill my goals. He successfully helped me switch markets and practice areas and lateral to a dream position after having taken a year and a half off biglaw to go public interest. This was a real challenge and I could not have managed it without him. Cannot recommend him highly enough!
