Re: Corporate Partner placement at Pillsbury, Winthrop

I would like to thank you and Steve Adler for the outstanding job you did in representing me to Pillsbury, Winthrop. While I had a good position heading up the corporate practice at Baker & Hostetler in Los Angeles, I concluded that the opportunity your firm put in front of me was simply too good to pass up. I see the move to Pillsbury, Winthrop as an excellent step in my career, and am pleased to have joined a firm with Pillsbury’s national stature, significant resources and a great platform for cross selling.

Secondly, I would like to comment on your firm’s professionalism, diligence and overall demeanor throughout my search process. Most importantly, you never wasted my time. Your analysis of the market and various firms was extremely insightful and helpful. Your contacts and the opportunities you introduced me too were right on target. You focused on opportunities that were compatible with my practice. I was especially appreciative of your low-key, non-pushy approach. This certainly enhanced my comfort level in working with your organization. Concerning Pillsbury, your efforts kept the momentum moving forward. Your ability to handle the problematic issues was also most helpful.

In short, Esquire is to be commended for a first rate highly professional job.
