Mark Levine is extremely knowledgeable in relation to in-house roles. He didn’t just ask me what I needed - he analysed the role, the work, my company – it was a full but carefully constructed analysis. When he finds candidates he then explains how they might fit, the areas that might not work and then how they might view the company. This is very important as lawyers will often have different views of companies when compared to law firms. Mark has managed to find candidates when others have failed.

I was impressed at how quickly our request was turned around and communication arranged between the candidates and ourselves. The candidates were of a very high standard.

Manager Cumbria Rural, Citizens Advice Bureau
I would happily recommend BCL Legal to anyone looking for a new role. BCL Legal matched my skill set to the jobs that they have put me up for and as a result, I have been able to fit into a job and organisation quickly and be productive from day one. What sets BCL Legal apart, for me, is their friendliness that is matched by their professionalism. I found BCL Legal extremely helpful, personable and professional.
