“While I’m very proud of my practice, unlike many–if not most–of the partners Larry places, my practice is not particularly significant. Moreover, when I first called Larry, I was already being represented by another recruiter. Accordingly, I did not expect Larry would be interested in helping me. Despite both disincentives, and no doubt having bigger fish to fry, Larry nevertheless spent hours with me over several weeks and countless promptly returned phone calls, providing his invaluable insight into the professional landscape. His fluency with California’s dynamic legal market is truly unsurpassed. He was complimentary of the firms I was considering, even though he did not present me to those firms, and was truly objective in describing the pros and cons of the firms he did suggest. Never once did he try to “sell” me on a firm to feather his own nest, or otherwise act in a way that was not entirely in my best interests. And while I don’t expect to ever make another move, there is nobody I would even consider entrusting to help guide my professional future than Larry Watanabe. He’s simply the best.”
