Lawyer Testimonials

"Having used a couple of agencies before discovering BCL Legal and in particular, Matthew Porter, I was extremely impressed with their professionalism and high level of competence. Matthew had an excellent style of communication, was always immediately accessible and showed great persistence in pursuing various opportunities. I would happily recommend BCL Legal and Matthew".

“I have no hesitation in recommending the services of BCL Legal. The professionalism and tenacity of Mark Levine ensured that the recruitment process went smoothly and, with Mark’s able assistance, I managed to secure my dream job”.

“I spoke to a number of recruitment agents when looking for a position. Tasmin Sabar at BCL Legal gave me the best service, the best advice, came forward with the most positions and did not try to push me into something I did not want. She kept in touch regularly, had good market knowledge, was down to earth and genuine, listened to what I had to say, and gave wise counsel. I am now sole legal counsel at Jackel International Limited and am very happy in my role. I would go back to her, either as a client or a candidate. She is very reliable, and gives a stalwart and trusted service.”

“I have always found BCL Legal[Liz and Mary] to be extremely professional, approachable and friendly. They have both given me sound advice over the time I have been registered even when I was contemplating a move to a different position through a different agency. We talked the whole thing through and I did not feel under any pressure whatsoever. They were impeccable in their professional outlook and manner. They both are lovely people and an asset to your organisation.”

"I have been really impressed at how thorough BCL Legal are in keeping in touch and remembering who you are. This, in comparison to many other agencies, I have liaised with is definitely a breath of fresh air! I will certainly keep recommending BCL to others."

"The advice you gave me from the outset was honest, realistic and you actually listened to what I wanted and the change in career path that I wanted to take. This was a refreshing change from your competition who relentlessly hounded me, tried to force me into various and numerous private practice roles instead of actually listening to what I said, what I actually wanted to change about my career and simply viewing me as a commodity that they could secure two easy commissions on at my expense. Clearly their adamant and unrelenting advice about being unable to move in-house in the North West from London was very wrong! Thanks again for all the assistance and advice that you gave me during, luckily, the short period from my initial phonecall to placing me at LMS"

"Thanks for all your help. You have been absolutely fantastic. I have never used an agency before and you have made my first experience very smooth and stress free. Should I ever have the need to rethink my career you will be the first person I will contact."

"BCL Legal provided a very professional service and assisted in the negotiations that paved the way for relocation from London to Leeds. They were at all times proactive and succeeded in creating a number of opportunities for me in the North with their knowledge of the local market."

"Other agencies did not have as good a variety of jobs - through your contacts you were able to 'create' an in-house role for me."

"BCL Legal impressed the most as you sent my CV out only to places where you knew I wanted to work based on my past experience and goals....Your market knowledge enabled you to focus on only a few firms and particularly the firm I ended up in as you knew they had just recruited a new partner and although no posts were advertised they were looking to build a team."

Sian Stringer - From Freshfields to Halliwells LLP

"Keoghs are absolutely FANTASTIC, such a supportive, friendly and caring, environment and much, much more. I really feel I will become a better Solicitor (and a better person). I really do not know how to THANK YOU for believing in me, for pushing me forward, for trusting me, for enhancing my career, not to mention my life. I feel like I've landed with my feet in champagne."

Elise Henderson Murray - Solicitor - From Hughes Walker to Keoghs

"Having decided to move from the City back to the north I wanted a professional and efficient recruitment service which would help me secure exactly what I wanted rather than offering all that may be available. BCL Legal, and James Batt in particular, certainly did that. Entirely honest about the calibre and reputation of the hiring firms, their well-informed knowledge of what was to me a foreign market was both welcome and trusted. They were proactive without being pushy and helpful without being unduly persuasive. If I was ever to move again I would use BCL Legal."

Tim McNamara - Solicitor - From Herbert Smith to Addleshaw Goddard

"BCL Legal recently placed me in a high-profile head of legal in-house position with a major construction company. Mark provided a service with integrity and which was far superior to any other recruitment consultants with which I have previously had dealings. I found him extremely approachable; he remained in regular contact and is very switched-on. I have recommended him to my former employer as well as to friends."

Claire Thomson - Company Solicitor - From London Underground to Balfour Beatty Construction Northern Limited

"In my experience many legal recruitment agencies talk the talk and fail to deliver if they fail to place you within a short period of time. However, in my recent experience, I believe BCL Legal is the exception to this, in that they go the "extra mile for you". I found their level of service quite excellent and was impressed by their knowledge of the legal marketplace and this certainly helped them in placing me in the in-house sector that I sought. I would have no hesitation in recommending BCL Legal's services and may I convey my thanks to their staff for placing me."

"I have had an excellent experience in dealing with BCL Legal, and I could not be happier in my new position at HBOS. I felt that they kept me well informed at every step of the process, and represented me professionally, effectively and enthusiastically."

“I registered with a couple of agents before I was recommended to speak to BCL Legal. I met with three consultants at BCL Legal as I was keen to keep my options open and within a week they had arranged interviews for me at four firms and a week later I received a job offer. The consultants have been very approachable and are always willing to help. I have found the preparation they provide before an interview to be excellent. They have given me the information I need to pitch myself at the right level at each interview. I feel confident and trust that the consultants at BCL Legal are going the extra mile to secure what will be the best position for me on qualification.”
