Claudia Spielman makes placements at firms ranging in size from small (as few as eight attorneys) to mid-sized to large, international firms with over a thousand attorneys. She was an attorney for one of the country's most prestigious intellectual property firms, Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner in Palo Alto. This experience has given her valuable insight into making placements for IP candidates, although she has recently secured positions for attorneys in real estate, labor and employment, and litigation. She believes the best way to serve her clients is to get to know them in order to make the most informed decision possible and find a firm that fits the needs of the candidate.

Claudia's dedication and persistence have aided her service to clients. She can guarantee an interview for every candidate she takes on because she only works with attorneys she believes can benefit from her expertise. Building personal relationships is her favorite part of the job and she is very effective in guiding candidates in the right direction.

Claudia has helped realize career goals for lawyers of all levels, from junior associates to seasoned partners. Though she has placed more associates, she has worked with partners with million dollar books of business in IP, corporate and labor and employment. Most of her placements have been in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Seattle. She looks forward to enriching the lives of other attorneys, enhancing careers, and establishing long-term relationships.
