I founded EightyTwenty after 3+ years at legal recruitment agencies in London and Dallas with a singular goal: to redirect some of the money exchanged in this multi-billion dollar industry to worthy charities, NGOs, and non-profits.
My track record includes lateral associate and partner placements with elite US, Magic, and Silver Circle firms in London, New York, Dallas, and Chicago. I’ve also worked with in-house legal departments on international office openings and specialist legal counsel roles.
I previously practised in the United States as an immigration and asylum lawyer, later working in the same capacity in London and Libreville, Gabon. I hold a juris doctor from the University of Notre Dame and an undergraduate degree in Sociology and French from the University of Texas, Arlington.
My network is strongest in the London, New York, Paris, and Brussels legal markets. I also have deep connections with hiring partners and in-house legal teams in Chicago, Texas, and Washington DC.
