Clients who trust us

BCL have been a valuable recruitment partner for our Legal Council position. Their approach went beyond just matching skills and experience to a job specification - they know their market.
Neil Partridge
Legal Counsel, Valliant Group
I have been incredibly impressed by the standards of BCL Legal. They kept me informed and I felt 100% confident that what was promised, would get done - and it certainly was.
Heidi Hall
Paralegal, Keoghs
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.
