“I’ve just decided to join Pillsbury Winthrop after nearly a decade at Gibson, Dunn. I considered only one recruiter in making this difficult decision, and I’ve never had any reason to doubt my choice. Larry Watanabe truly is remarkable and it is hard even to imagine that he has any peers if the task is to assist a high-level partner in relocation. My practice is unusually complex and diverse. Larry readily grasped its essentials and was instrumental in identification of the right candidate firms. It is clear that he is widely respected by every significant firm with operations in California. Larry’s attention to detail, and responsiveness — both to candidate and employer — are remarkable. I also can observe, from personal experience, that Larry showed exemplary judgment and patience in guiding me through this process. His wisdom was invaluable to this placement and I cannot thank him enough. “
