"It’s not hard to put into words how Lisa is different from other legal recruiters. Lisa is exceptional because she effectively leverages her decades of experience with top firms, top openings, and top law schools---which means she has the best networks to tap into. Lisa is also uniquely kind and patient. She takes the time to develop each applicant’s materials so they are as competitive as possible and targeted to each opportunity she sources. She can do this because she takes the time to know each of her candidates. Lisa gets her candidates excellent options and results. I don’t know what else you can ask of your legal recruiter. But in my search process, Lisa also became a good friend."

"I credit Lisa with where I am in my career today. I reached out to her when I was at my wits' end -- billing crazy hours, not doing the type of work I wanted to do, and seriously considering leaving the law altogether. But Lisa saw my talent and potential, and urged me to give the law one last shot. I'm so glad I did. I have never met anyone who worked so tirelessly for me, cared so much about me as a person, and was so invested in my long-term success. I was lucky enough to get several great job offers during my search with Lisa, and her feedback during the process was instrumental -- not only during the application process, but also when it came time to choose the right firm for me. I put my complete faith in Lisa, and she rose to the occasion spectacularly. Because of her, I transitioned to a law firm that ended up being a far better fit for me. I learned more than I thought possible, had the support of my colleagues, and became a better litigator while also maintaining a solid work-life balance. Through that experience, I realized that not all firms are the same, and that it is possible to be happy in the law and work at a sustainable pace. I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. "

"Lisa was instrumental in securing my position as a lateral tax and estates associate with an AM100 law firm in the Bay Area. She has a deep understanding of the legal market and was genuinely committed to my success. From our first conversation, Lisa went above and beyond to understand my career goals and aspirations. She asked questions and used her experience to help me figure out what I was looking for in my next role. She then gave me invaluable guidance throughout the job search, from crafting role-specific resumes to preparing for challenging interviews. Lisa's extensive network within the California legal community also opened doors and opportunities I wouldn't have otherwise considered. Thanks to Lisa's expert guidance and assistance I secured a position that not only aligns with my career aspirations, but also allows me to work with some of the brightest minds in the industry. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa's services to any attorney looking to make their next move!"

"I could not have asked for a better partner in my job search than Lisa Lam. Lisa is well established in the California market and introduced me to a variety of firms, large and small, and to a number of law firms that would have been otherwise inaccessible. Throughout my job search, Lisa listened to my career goals, conducted mock interviews, and offered great moral support. Lisa is a tremendous asset to any candidate looking for a job. I am happy to say she placed me at my first-choice firm and became a friend in the process!”

"Lisa helped me segue from a general corporate practice to highly sought after entertainment transactional work at one of the most prestigious firms in Los Angeles. She helped polish my resume, offered me interview advice, and coordinated the process from start to finish. She had me consider all my options before I made a decision and I am very happy with the results. Because of my positive experience, I have since referred other attorneys to Lisa.”

"Lisa is more than a recruiter. She is better described as part therapist (she even has an MA in psychology!) and part career coach. It is rare to find someone who has done it all, but Lisa sure has: top law school, big firm, in-house, recruiting, starting her own business. Because she has walked the walk, Lisa will ask you the right questions. Best of all, she will really listen. Beyond the soft skills, Lisa just knows how to get it done. She crafts top-notch resumes and cover letters and goes above and beyond to get your materials in front of the right people (whether they’re hiring partners at AmLaw 100 firms, elite boutiques, or top companies). I can confidently say that I would not have gotten my current position without Lisa."

“Not only is Lisa extremely knowledgeable on the current landscape of legal positions, she was patient and proactive in providing me valuable guidance throughout the process. She was continuously available as a resource, but I never felt she was overbearing. I'm confident I would not have landed at as great of a position as I have now without her. She is a must-have and I unequivocally recommend her for anyone looking at the market."

“I can sincerely thank Lisa for the best move of my legal career. I was a third-year associate in a big law firm looking for a change. Given the state of the legal market and the number of firms in the Los Angeles area, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, but Lisa helped me navigate it all from identifying opportunities, securing interviews, to negotiating the offer. And she did it all with professionalism and charm. In the end, Lisa helped me find a firm whose culture matched my own values. I couldn’t be happier with her services.”
