Legal Practice Coaches, Events, and Resources

Finding a job as a summer associate or full-time attorney is a unique process with its own set of rules, and the rules have changed dramatically in recent years. To be successful in finding a job as an attorney, you need to build both your skillset and your network. I began my career in patent litigation at Kirkland & Ellis in New York City, one of the top firms in the country. After I left Kirkland, I moved to various states with my family and created employment opportunities where few opportunities were available. I want to share with you the skills I developed so you will be able to nail your legal acumen and also navigate social and professional situations to develop the career you are looking for. Securing summer and post-graduate employment is now the responsibility of every individual student or attorney, but you don't have to go through the process alone. Whether you help finding opportunities, tips for building connections, a résumé refresh, or edits for a cover letter, I can guide you through the process and share insights that have been successful in navigating my own career as an attorney. I can't wait to help you succeed!

I have worked as a lawyer for over 10 years and as a law school admissions coach for just as long. I know exactly what it takes to craft a stand-out application to set a candidate apart amidst a sea of immaculate numbers.

I'm a Stanford Law School grad working in-house in business operations at a startup. I previously advised startups at Goodwin Procter and developed product legal strategy at Microsoft. Before making the leap from law to business, I received summer associate offers from the top technology law firms, including Cooley, Fenwick & West, Gunderson Dettmer, and Wilson Sonsini. I also got offers from more traditional biglaw firms, like Skadden, Latham & Watkins, and Kirkland & Ellis. If you're a law student considering technology law, or a law student/lawyer thinking of pursuing a career in business instead, let me help! I can guide you through that decision and help you plan your next steps.

Put a Big Law attorney from the Big Apple in your corner. For years, I've helped students from across the country reach the upper tier of US and international law firms (e.g. Cravath, K&E, Skadden, etc.), and I'd love to help you: Polish your resume. Nail the interview. Land your dream job. After years working as a deals lawyer in the New York office of Clifford Chance, I am now in-house with a large asset manager and continue to work daily with premier US and international law firms. I hold a JD from BYU’s J. Reuben Clark Law School and, prior to joining Clifford Chance, clerked with the US Attorneys Office, Baker McKenzie and Wilson Sonsini’s tech subsidiary SixFifty. Since entering legal practice, I’ve enjoyed coaching individuals through the most crucial steps of the Big Law hiring process, including complex and shifting timelines, prepping for interviews and securing offers at their target firms. Whether you just need a second set of eyes on your resume or deeper insights into the application process, I'm here to help.
