When I needed to recruit, BCL found the type of person I was looking for and within a few days, I received four good CVs, I would have been happy to offer a role to either of the two candidates.

I have been extremely impressed with BCL’s legal knowledge and the quality of the candidates they have put forward. They are extremely professional and understand our business needs.

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.
