McClure Harrison, Inc.

Jessica was terrific to work with! I chose to work with her because she really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for in my lateral move. She kept me informed of various opportunities and was extremely helpful with interview preparation. I also really appreciated her diligent follow ups and keeping me in constant communication. You can't go wrong working with Jessica!

Major, Lindsey & Africa

My experience working with Kate was fantastic. She provided excellent advice throughout the interview process, never pushed me toward opportunities that were not the right fit, and ultimately helped guide me to exactly the firm where I wanted to end up. Throughout the process, Kate and her team were approachable, responsive, and a genuine pleasure to work with. Anyone considering a move in the Bay Area would be fortunate to work with Kate.

Summer Eberhard

Lateral Link

Summer Eberhard

Lateral Link

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.

Alan Hershkowitz

Long Ridge Partners

I had a great experience working with Alan during my lateral search and would highly recommend him to anyone considering a move. Juggling a lateral search on top of a busy practice is tough, but Alan made the whole process feel much more manageable. He was incredibly responsive throughout — always quick to reply, keep me in the loop, and work around my schedule when things got hectic. What really stood out was how much genuine guidance he offered beyond just the logistics. He took the time to understand what I was actually looking for, gave honest and helpful advice at each step, and helped me think about each opportunity. If you’re exploring a lateral move and want someone who’s both on top of the details and truly invested in helping you land in the right place, Alan is the person to call.
