From Partners:
“Brett provided invaluable metrics on various firms, including rankings and finances. He demonstrated a remarkable understanding of the market. His deep knowledge of key players significantly improved the process. He was truly objective, even when it wasn’t in his personal financial interest, and avoided a cookie-cutter approach by tailoring his strategy specifically to my practice. He was exceptionally responsive, and available even on weekends and off-hours. Brett honed in on the specifics of my practice, listening carefully and targeting the right portfolio of firms with resourcefulness and dedication.”—Tanya Greene, Litigation Partner, DLA Piper
“Brett was incredibly responsive throughout every phase of the process. He demonstrated a nuanced understanding of my practice and provided a refined perspective on my experience, which helped streamline conversations with the client. He cut through the noise to focus on the relevant aspects of my background that were most important to the General Counsel, which was key. The entire process called for a uniquely sensitive approach, and Brett handled it with exceptional steadiness and precision. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience.”—William Van Curen, Associate General Counsel IP, Impossible Foods
“Brett possesses all of the qualities that you would want in a legal recruiter and then some. He is extraordinarily responsive and has a deep understanding of the market, from global trends to specific firm nuances. But what truly sets Brett apart and makes him an invaluable partner throughout the process is his extraordinary ability to build trust and understand people. There is so much more to this process than just numbers and metrics, and his successful placement record speaks volumes. Brett takes the time to understand you (where you are today and where you want to be in the future) and your practice, but he also invests in his relationships with firms, which allows him to ask insightful questions and provide advice that you simply cannot get anywhere else.”—Teresa Tate, Corporate Partner, Reed Smith
“I had the pleasure of having Brett as my recruiter in attempting to find the “forever” position that has been so elusive for more than 15 years. From the beginning, Brett was different from many other recruiters I have worked with in the past. He was not only responsive, but also creative. He came up with options that were both realistic and ambitious with a good balance of both. After months of deliberation, and even many shortcomings during the process, Brett came through with multiple viable options that were simply not available through other recruiters. If you want a recruiter who truly cares about your needs, go with Brett. You can’t go wrong with Brett on your side.”—Mitchell Kim, Commercial Litigation Partner, Thompson Hine
“I loved working with Brett. Changing law firms is a daunting process, but Brett was with me all the way. I will be forever grateful for his guidance, support and tireless efforts.”—Joshua Rosenberg, Entertainment Litigation Partner, Sheppard Mullin
