Clients who trust us

BCL placed me in my current role and was extremely supportive throughout the recruitment process, providing helpful CV and interview advice. I would highly recommend BCL Legal.
Emma Preece
Senior Associate, Charles Russell Speechlys LLP
They were all excellent candidates and as I indicated to each of them at the beginning of their second interviews, if we had had three vacancies, all of them would have received offers.
Rob Dillarston
Managing Partner, Greenwoods Solicitors LLP
I found BCL to be fast, knowledgeable and professional. The overall outcome of this recruitment exercise was very successful. I have no doubt we will use BCL's services again in future.
