TESTIMONIALS

“If you are looking to make a move in the legal industry, I highly recommend reaching out to Mitch. Over the years, I have worked with a few recruiters but none have been as responsive and attentive as Mitch. Any time I had a question or concern, Mitch was able to respond in a very timely manner and provide guidance as to how to navigate the application and interview process. Mitch makes it clear that he is with you every step of the way and makes sure you are prepared and confident before conducting any interviews. Also, it cannot be overstated how valuable his personal connections are with the firms he recruits for. His connections allow him to provide you valuable insight throughout the entire interview process and keep you updated at every stage. Mitch was able to help me transition from a small local firm to a firm with multiple offices in major U.S. markets. I am extremely grateful to have had Mitch as my recruiter and highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a move.”

“I had initially reached out to Mitch before the COVID-19 pandemic, which had put my job search on hold. I was immediately impressed with how plugged in he seemed to be in the industry. After the first wave began subsiding in the early summer, I decided to take a chance and restart my job search. Mitch was one of my first contacts. Mitch was very open and transparent throughout the process and he took the time to mentor me during all facets of the recruitment lifecycle. For example, he would insist on having conversations before every interview to guide my preparation. Mitch helped me make a move from a small firm to an Am Law 100-200 firm, and he was there every step of the way from application through offer letter. Even though he had already placed me, Mitch was thoughtful enough to check in and ask how I was adjusting. I certainly recommend Mitch to other attorneys in the job market. ”

“I am not a typical candidate working as a consultant at a fund formation company for the last 12 years. I had been sending my resumes unsuccessfully for a while until Mitchell contacted me after he received it. With my permission, he then sent my resume to multiple top law firms. Within a month, I had an interview at one of the largest US firms and had an offer shortly after that. I am very grateful that Mitch took a chance on me. ”

“Mitch connected me with an incredible opportunity at an elite law firm that was not publicly posted. I had only spoken to Mitch once recently, many months earlier, but we had a nice conversation about my career aspirations and trajectory. When this new opportunity arose, Mitch immediately thought of me, and it turned out to be a match made in heaven. Throughout my application and interview process with the new firm, Mitch kept in frequent contact, offering me valuable, candid advice and thoughtfully discussing the pros and cons of the opportunity. I highly recommend having a conversation with Mitch if you’re contemplating making a move. ”

“I couldn't recommend Mitch more for anyone looking to transition in the legal world. I had spoken with Mitch a few months earlier when I was thinking about getting out of an AM Law 100 firm that just wasn't the right fit for me. I wasn't in a rush and never really worked with recruiters in the legal realm before, so a few months later, through my own efforts, I had accepted a position with a small IP firm. Unfortunately, the firm lost a major client and had to rescind my offer a week later. In crisis mode, I reached out to Mitch again who made me his number one priority. Within a few days, Mitch sent my resume package out to firms he deemed relevant. Mitch's inside knowledge of the legal field and the connections he's developed over his years of experience helped reassure me that I wouldn't be out of a job for too long - which turned out to be true! I had an interview less than a week later for a position that was much better suited to my background and the work-life balance I was seeking. Two days after the interview, I had accepted an offer from the firm, and I couldn't be more pleased. Mitch performed what I formerly thought to be the impossible”

“I was contacted by Mitch in regards to an in-house opportunity that fit my level of experience and credentials. Mitch promptly followed up with me once I expressed interest. He took the time to answer every last question I had about the type of work the position would entail, the qualities that companies look for when adding additional in-house counsel, and how my current role would translate to this new opportunity. What struck me about Mitch was his total transparency. He did not hide any details, and made sure that I was fully informed about salary information, benefits, etc., so that I knew going in what to expect. I was completely prepared for my interview and knocked it out of the park, in large part to the extensive conversation and emails with Mitch. A few weeks later I was offered, and accepted the job! I would absolutely suggest Mitch to anyone looking to either fill an in-house position, or someone looking to make the transition to in-house or another firm. Thanks again Mitch!”

“Mitch approached me via email to engage me in a conversation regarding an open partnership at a general firm for which he was recruiting. Shortly after I indicated my interest in the position, Mitch called me to discuss some specifics regarding my level of experience and chosen areas of practice to assess whether I might be a good fit. He was also able to answer all of my initial questions on the basis of his intimate knowledge regarding the position and the firm in general. He then immediately placed me in contact with the managing partner of the corresponding practice group, and within a few days I was engaged in a phone discussion with the manager and two other partners of the group. Things continued to progress quickly thereafter, resulting in my being accepted into the firm. I’ve been hired into a number of large and small firms, but this is by far the easiest, smoothest transition I have ever made, thanks to Mitch’s stellar knowledge of the market and the firms he represents, as well as the relationships he maintains with those firms. Thanks, Mitch! ”

“Mitch and I originally connected several years ago and he made a point to keep in contact and to keep me on his radar-which meant a lot to me. He then reached out when he was sure he found an ideal fit, acting as both a friend and advocate while he prepared me for the transition; which happened to be the first move of my legal career. I can imagine I was not easy to work with, but Mitch handled my questions and phone calls with ease. Mitch lives up to his excellent reputation and I am extremely grateful that we connected. I would recommend Mitch Satalof without hesitation. ”

“Mitch is a highly skilled, well-connected legal recruiter who delivers. As a veteran patent attorney seeking to expand my practice during the IP industry's downtime, I used several recruiters in my search process, including a large recruiting firm with national recognition. Mitch is the one who stood out from the crowd. His tailored "sniper shoot" strategy that targets carefully selected law firms turned out to be superior to the commonly adopted, "shotgun" approach--sending job applications to many different firms all at once. As a result, he created far more interview opportunities than those from other recruiters combined. He clearly demonstrates the power of "fewer is more." In addition, he is very communicative; he listens and understands well. He is methodical and careful in selecting his targets, tends to details in the placement process and all the way to deal-closing. Working with Mitch has been a very pleasant and productive experience for me, both personally and professionally. ”

“I worked with a number of recruiters while job hunting and Mitch was by far the most honest and hardworking. He managed to get me interviews with top firms and got me an offer that was considerably above what I initially expected. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a job who needs the help of a recruiter. He always has your best interest at heart.”

“Mitch, I want you to know that regardless of what happens, if our relationship ends today, I will walk away a better person for having worked with you. You have my thanks, my friendship and my respect.”

“Mitch, thank you again for helping me get the job. Although the hours can be long at times (actually, most of the time), the work is highly rewarding. I'm getting the exact experience I was looking for, and the people I work with are great. I owe that to you. Mitch was instrumental in helping me to transition from what had been predominantly a patent practice to a technology transactions practice. Although it was a tall order to find a firm willing to allow me to change areas of law four years out from law school, Mitch not only made it happen but managed to place me with one of the top firms in the country. He's a pro in his field.”

“I think the take away from the whole thing is that relationships matter. Your colleagues should remember that while you may not be able to help someone initially, it pays to stay in contact as you never know when someone will decide its time to move and then, an opportunity may present itself.”
