Testimonials

“Working with Buchanan Law has been nothing short of outstanding. From day one, their team went above and beyond. They were incredibly responsive, always available, and genuinely invested in my success. Even though my process stretched longer than usual, they made it feel effortless with their constant communication, encouragement, and clarity at every step. I never once felt in the dark or on my own. Their dedication and professionalism directly led to an offer I’m truly thrilled about. I’m deeply grateful for their exceptional support and couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP

“Ciro has a solid understanding of the firms and the people within them, which was clear throughout the process. He stayed in close contact, kept me updated, and was helpful in coordinating interviews and preparing me for each stage. It was a smooth and well-managed experience.”

Funds Associate at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP

“Ciro was tenacious and dedicated in my job search and helped me find a new position that met all of my personal and professional needs. He understands the market and was very supportive at every step of the process, especially when I was unsure of my next steps.”

Litigation Associate at Larson LLP

“I had a fantastic experience working with Connor. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in my next role and helped me land an opportunity that is the perfect fit. He guided me through every step of the process and always made himself available for questions or prep. I’m incredibly grateful for Connor’s help and would recommend him to anyone considering a career move.”

Kirkland & Ellis (NY)

“I admit, I was reluctant to engage with recruiters after many calls from random recruiters who hadn’t read my bio or didn’t understand or care about my career goals. When Ciro reached out, his no-pressure attitude and genuine interest in what I was looking for stood out to me. After casual check-in calls every few months, I finally reached out when I was ready to make a move. Ciro came back with information I never would have found on my own. Thanks to Ciro, I found the perfect position.”

Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP

“The team at Buchanan Law are phenomenal. The quantity and quality of leads they possess is completely unparalleled. Based on my recent experience, recruitment professionals or “head hunters” are absolutely not created equal and the team at Buchanan Law stand tall among their competitors, who should not even be bothered with. I would recommend this team to my peers, partners, friends, family, and sincerely my own mother if she ever was looking for another legal job. This team will change your life.”
