Represented partner David P. Schack to the Los Angeles office of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart

I wanted to express my appreciation for your assistance in my move to Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP. As you are aware, I had spent 17 years with Mitchell, Silberberg & Knupp before making the move. I was very happy at MSK and was only looking to move if a special opportunity arose. Your approach was very professional and you only advised me of opportunities that made sense in light of my goals. I appreciated your knowledge of the legal market and your insight into the culture and management of the firms that we discussed. I also appreciated the lack of any attempt at a "hard sell" as I was considering my options.

I would recommend you to any lawyer who is considering moving his or her practice. The decision to make a move to a new firm is an important one in a lawyer’s career and your experience and skills were instrumental in assisting me with my decision and making my move successful.

Yours truly,
David P. Schack
Kirkpatrick & Lockhart
