Testimonial
I have had the great fortune for over 25 years to work with Wendy on both ends of the spectrum – when I was hiring attorneys as GC and when I was looking to be hired. Wendy’s knowledge and expertise of the legal landscape, hiring trends and where to search for opportunities is second to none. I recommend her most highly, whether as a recruiter if you are hiring or looking to be hired or as a wise counsel with respect to any aspect of your legal career.
