From our Sydney Team:
Associate - Project (Construction) Law - Top Tier Global Law Firm - Sydney
I have enjoyed working with Matt Mayes for nearly two months and couldn't be happier with the experience. From the beginning, Matt showed genuine interest in my career path and consistently kept me informed about relevant opportunities. Throughout the process, Matt provided invaluable support and guidance, ensuring I was well-prepared and confident for my interviews. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt to anyone seeking new career opportunities or who would like to discuss the legal market. His professionalism, dedication and ability to create a positive experience set him apart as an outstanding recruiter.
Senior Associate – Insolvency – National Mid - Tier Firm – Sydney
From my first interaction with Claudia, I found her to be professional, friendly and approachable. She matched me with a wonderful position that suited all my wants and needs and was incredibly supportive. Claudia has continued actively checking in to ensure I remain supported. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for new job opportunities.
From our New York team:
Associate – Investment Funds – Leading Global Law Firm – New York
Stefano helped me quickly identify market opportunities that I wasn’t aware of. His personal experience in my practice area (investment funds) was an asset to my search process, and I felt like we were working as a cohesive team to land me the perfect new position.
Associate – M&A – Top Tier International Law Firm – New York
As a Canadian-trained lawyer, Stefano was an invaluable source of information and guidance during my lateral move to New York. Throughout the process, he was responsive, resourceful, attentive to my communicated goals and provided additional opportunities that fit my profile. I especially appreciated the ease with which he was able to handle my unique case as a foreign-trained lawyer with an unconventional background.
From our London Team
Associate – Finance – US Law Firm – London
Jon’s genuine investment in my career development stood out. From the first conversation, he understood my objectives and never settled for less and, in the end, helped secure the opportunity of a lifetime for me, for which I am very grateful.
Associate – Corporate M&A – Magic Circle Firm – London
I wasn’t actively looking when Sonder approached me, which they seemed to respect. They sent relevant materials and allowed me to take my time and research. I expressed interest in a particular opportunity, and they set up an exploratory chat with a Partner at the firm. After the meeting, I decided to enter a formal process and ended up being offered the job. I appreciated not being pressured or pushed into a circle; I felt utterly in control.
