Those qualities make a tremendous difference when you’re helping attorneys navigate career decisions and connecting legal teams with outstanding legal talent. We’re excited to welcome her to Latitude.”

“One of the things I’ve enjoyed most throughout my career is getting to know people and understanding what’s important to them,” said Daniel. “I’m excited to work with attorneys as they think about what’s next in their careers and help connect them with opportunities that truly fit their goals, while also helping build exceptional legal teams.
