Whistler Partners is pleased to announce the placement of Scott Liebman, Dominick DiSabatino, Eve Costopoulos, Alexandra K., and Jeremiah Miah in the Life Sciences and FDA Regulatory group at Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP. Liebman will serve as co-leader of Sheppard Mullin’s Life Sciences team, as well as the FDA Regulatory team. Liebman focuses on complex FDA regulatory, compliance and legal matters affecting global pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device manufacturers. He counsels clients on federal and state requirements and develops legal and regulatory strategies to help commercialize their products. The placement was led by Josh Bilgrei, Managing Director at Whistler, who said that he is "humbled to make the match between Scott and Sheppard. I've known Scott for decades (we actually went to summer camp together), but since I've known him as an attorney, it's been apparent that he's not only an incredible practitioner, but also a great boss and mentor with a team who would follow him anywhere. "When Scott told me he was ready to explore new opportunities, Sheppard Mullin blew us away with their overall firm and life sciences strategy. Shon Glusky, Guy Halgren, Jon Newby and Luca Salvi were all integral to making this deal happen, and it was a pleasure to work with them. I'm looking forward to seeing what Scott and his team accomplish at Sheppard." #whistlerpartners #fdaregulatory #lifesciences #regulatory https://lnkd.in/em4HZtT8

When you're applying to roles in Big Law or coveted in-house positions, you are, unfortunately, in very good company. As recruiters, we've seen firsthand how many well-credentialed attorneys can be up for a single role, and beating the odds usually comes down to being only marginally better than the competition. A 5% improvement in your resume, deal sheet, or interview strategy can make all the difference. And that's where our recruiters come in...

The Brienne of Tarth Loyalty Award! At Whistler Partners, we go beyond just making placements; we prioritize building meaningful connections with our candidates, ensuring their career goals and personal values are aligned. Introducing The Brienne of Tarth Loyalty Award! Our new quarterly recognition award where our recruiters nominate candidates who have demonstrated outstanding 𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲 throughout their legal career and lateral process. Our first recipient for Q1 2024 (chosen randomly!) reflects the trust we aim to build with all our candidates. Throughout his lateral process, despite receiving numerous emails and calls from recruiters, he chooses to rely exclusively on the network and industry reach of Whistler Partners. He forwards each email he receives from other recruiters to Sean Burke and Jordan Rosenberg, asking, 'Do you know what this role could be about?' He does not seek career assistance from other recruiting agencies; instead, he trusts our team's industry expertise, solidifying our role as his sole, committed career agent. In recognition of his loyalty, we have made a $5,000 donation to Citymeals on Wheels, a charity he passionately supports. If you're considering a lateral move, connect with Whistler Partners! Your loyalty to us could put you in the running for the Q2 (or Q3 or Q4!) Brienne of Tarth Loyalty Award and a donation of $5,000 to the charity of your choice. #whistlerpartners #happylawyersclub
