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.

BCL Legal was absolutely key in my recruitment process. They were responsive and supportive throughout, always taking the time to meet with me and answer any questions I had.

BCL provides an extremely professional service. They take great care to match the potential recruit with my firm and as a consequence those who they put forward are appropriate.
