Senior Recruiment Advisor, Magic Circle firm
When I think about RedLaw, the word that immediately enters my mind is ‘outstanding’. They really are that good. Recruitment should be simple, transparent and a totally two-way process. It can, and should, also be an exciting and fun experience. What I love about RedLaw is that working with them feels just like working with my own team. They genuinely are an extension of my team. Their knowledge, pace of operation, willingness to openly tell us what we need to hear (not just what they think we want to hear) means the relationship is one of a true ‘trusted advisor’. Quite simply they make our recruitment better for everyone involved, and really are exceptionally talented and fun individuals to work with.
Amy and the team at RedLaw have always done an excellent job for us in supporting our recruitment programmes and have always been a pleasure to work with.
We have built an excellent working relationship and trust in their judgement. The team has taken time to gain an understanding of our business priorities and strategic hiring needs. They continue to deliver an excellent service considering the long term development of the firm, placing legal professionals who will help to grow the business.
Amy has a superb depth of knowledge of the IT sector and a clear view of the entire legal market along with some superb connections. Amy always introduces highly skilled legal professionals who not only have the right skills and experience needed but she is very aware of our culture and the candidates likely fit within it.
I have recommended Amy to other lawyers and I will have no hesitation in doing so in the future. She provides insightful, honest and well thought out input and is clearly very well networked into firms of all sizes and types.
I admire RedLaw’s work ethic; they really try to gain an understanding of what our firm is about, what we are trying to achieve and our future plans and ambitions.
As a consequence, every candidate put before us is always well suited to what we are looking for. This gives us comfort in the knowledge that they can be trusted and relied upon to meet our recruitment needs, whatever they might be.
On a personal front we genuinely enjoy working with Amy and the team. Amy is incredibly likeable, pleasant and professional. Her warm and open nature means she has built relationships with our teams internally and that really helps with the process.
The candidates we interview also speak very highly of the RedLaw team which again provides us with confidence in their professionalism and service.
For an active retained search, RedLaw are always in our top 3 recruiters.
I have worked with RedLaw for a while now and have built an excellent working relationship with them.
They have taken the time to understand our firm, our particular business needs and the dynamics of our practice. With that knowledge, they filter out candidates and instead send us only a targeted shortlist of those whom they consider to be most suited to our business.
The teams’ research and professionalism means that the process is more efficient for us and we can focus on key issues of recruitment in the firm.
The team continue to impress us with their industry knowledge and are true ambassadors for the industry which has resulted in them being a first port of call for recruitment needs.
Amy and Jonathan’s previous legal experience also means that they have a firm grip on what our law firm needs and can offer to quality candidates. Their previous recruitment and management experience also means that they have a great commercial insight.
I would strongly recommend the RedLaw team to anyone in the industry.
We engaged the Redlaw team to conduct a targeted partner search to help build our international capability in a strategic practice. Jonathan's persistence and focus ensured that we met many of our key target candidates in the process, and he used his networks to suggest others who might have otherwise overlooked. Jonathan worked hard to help secure our preferred applicant, skilfully managing a number of moving parts and suggesting ways through challenges, and achieved a great result.
We have worked closely with Jonathan and RedLaw for a number of years. During this period he has worked hard to understand our firm, our business priorities, our culture and style and our strategy. He has been able to identify opportunities and individuals for us across different practice areas.
We trust his judgement and always listen to his perspective. Jonathan has worked with us in partnership and shown the utmost integrity in all his dealings with us and individuals he has introduced to us. Jonathan is easy to get along with, always accessible when needed and we enjoy working with him - and all of his team at RedLaw.
Amy was great to work with, understanding and responsive. I think Amy has a great talent for being able to promote people and positions and that has enabled me to move my career forward at a much great pace than what it was at my previous firm. I felt I received genuine feedback from Amy which is sadly lacking from a number of recruiters that I’ve dealt with over my career. I would gladly recommend Amy to people I know within law.
Amy was extremely devoted to the process, followed up, adjusted the approach as my understanding of the marked evolved (I had not moved for some 14 years) and always listened to my comments and other feedback. On a personal level she was always very positive, cheerful and as indeed a joy to be around. I would highly recommend her.
I have a great deal to thank Amy for. She has a friendly, enthusiastic and calm approach, an extremely accurate knowledge of the market and the personalities within it, and a detailed understanding of who fits where and why. Her ability to draw out of me the confidence I needed to pursue avenues I previously would not have considered, was invaluable. She was a terrific sounding board and provided sensible, level headed advice. She held my hand through what was a pretty arduous and disconcerting process. I am extremely happy with the position I now have and I am very aware of Amy’s crucial role in helping me to get it. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking to make a career move.
Moving firm is a time of uncertainty for everyone. In my case it was a first move after 19 years. I found Amy and her team to be knowledgeable about the market, full of good advice and extremely helpful. I was looked after from beginning to end; first class in every respect.
I was very impressed by Amy and her team at RedLaw. I work in a relatively niche sector, but Amy showed a deep understanding of it. I would highly recommend them.
I found the approach of RedLaw to be very impressive in its quality and professionalism. They listened closely to what my requirements were and clearly thought through how best to match them with those of interested firms. As a result, I was impressed at the successful outcomes of the introductions that they made, with opportunities to have exploratory discussions with a number of firms offering a good fit to my practice area. These meetings were followed up by gathering swift feedback and supporting me in taking my next steps.
When it came to making my final decision about a career move, they continued to be insightful in the advice given. I would also like to praise the accessibility of the whole team who always came back to me in good time. An excellent service going beyond that of many legal recruitment agencies to offering genuine legal career and business advice. The team do all of this whilst taking a warm and genuine interest in their clients.
Amy and her team looked after me so well throughout. They provide the most complete service of any legal recruiters I have dealt with. Amy was always available to speak and her advice – about law firm fit, commercial expectations, presentation, timing and a host of other issues – proved to be accurate time and again. Amy effectively managed a potentially difficult exit from my previous firm, and a lengthy interview process with my new firm, and did so with a good deal of grace and charm. I was encouraged when I needed to be, but also challenged about my preconceptions when I needed to be. I felt that Amy was always on my side, but she tells it like it is too, which is why law firms listen to her and her candidates get interviewed. Amy went way beyond what I would have expected from a recruitment consultant and provided calm support on all levels. I could not recommend Amy’s team any more highly, in fact they are simply the only legal recruitment consultants I would use.
Amy – Thank you so much for the fantastic introductions you secured for me. It was so incredibly helpful to have doors opened so effectively.
I have been very impressed by you and your team’s professionalism and am very grateful for the positive reception and wise guidance that you gave me.
I engaged Amy/Red Law recently when looking for a partnership opportunity. From the very outset Amy was very professional and attentive to my requirements. She was extremely thorough in her preparation and in drafting my CV for presentation to various firms. She searched extensively, to find firms that met my requirements and which she believed would be a good match for me. The selection that she provided me with was comprehensive and covered a wide spectrum ranging from large national firms to smaller commercial London firms. Her knowledge and understanding of the legal market was 2nd to none and her advice and guidance throughout was extremely valuable. Ultimately she guided me to the right firm with whom I have reached a very agreeable basis on which to be appointed. Amy and her company helped and supported me throughout the process ensuring that I fulfilled my aim. I would have no hesitation in recommending Amy in particular and Red Law in general for legal recruitment.
It was a real pleasure working with RedLaw. From initial contact through to start of my new role, they provided informed and objective information and advice. It is clear that they are not just about placing candidates, but rather in facilitating moves that are in the long-term interests of both the candidate and the firm.
I would highly recommend Jonathan. I found him to be very well connected and very well respected by the firms who interviewed me. Jonathan was very proactive. He quickly understood what I was looking for in a new job and was able to recommend and secure interviews with firms that fitted my requirements. He helped me put together my business case and gave guidance and encouragement, throughout the stressful interviewing process. He gave me impartial and sound advice at appropriate times and particularly when it came to making the final decision. He has a calm and assured manner, is easy to deal with and above all he is very likeable.
I was very appreciative of Jonathan’s calm and assured advice during what was a stressful time. I felt that he was genuine and had my best interests at heart.
Thank you for the kind words in the card they are lovely and much appreciated. I am very sad to be leaving and will look back with very fond memories of working with you, it has been a privilege to work with two such professional, human and lovely people. Thank you for being such fun. I wish you and everyone at RedLaw continued success.
Jonathan was a delight to deal with. He married my practice with the right firm in expert fashion and which I have no doubt will lead to the faster growth of the practice. If it had not been for Jonathan’s call I would never have made the move.
Jonathan, first and foremost, had my interests at heart from the start to the finish. He gave me knowledgeable advice based on many years’ experience. His advice was right and he helped me secure the ideal role for both myself and my clients (that at the outside I might not have considered). He considered all the issues from cultural fit, to client synergies through to career progression and remuneration. He was always there to meet and speak to at any hour and he managed to attain the relationship of a “trusted advisor”. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any partner looking to make a move because he genuinely cares about getting it 100% right.
I have every reason to be grateful to Jonathan at RedLaw. I first met with Jonathan at a time when my then current firm was going through financial difficulties and I was looking to engineer a group move to another firm. Jonathan was very understanding of what we were going through and was always willing to provide good words of advice. Once Jonathan had helped to identify a suitable firm he was extremely helpful in guiding us through the entire process and clarifying what we had to deliver at each stage. It was a stressful time but Jonathan’s advice and guidance was invaluable in helping the group to find a new ‘home’. Highly recommended.
Jonathan is not only the consummate professional, he is extremely experienced, well connected and has a depth of knowledge within the legal sector which few can rival.
I highly recommend Jonathan for legal search, having worked with him on a corporate search mandate at a previous firm. He is discreet, knowledgeable and thorough.

Having worked with a number of Recruiters Jonathan Benjamin really stands out above the rest. What is particularly refreshing about Jonathan is his honest and straightforward advice, always considering the long-term development of our firm and being prepared to use his in depth knowledge to put our business first before short term gains often associated with recruitment.
We retained Amy Hambleton and RedLaw to find an international law firm merger partner. Amy’s professional service was instrumental in allowing us to deliver a timely and highly successful merger and I would be delighted to recommend her. Amy offered a truly personal service working in partnership with us to identify the objectives and strategy behind the merger.
Amy used her extensive network of connections, existing relationships and market knowledge to quickly identify suitable merger partners all with the skills and cultural fit required for the business. Throughout this project, Amy tackled it with great pragmatism, offering support, guidance and superb communication. We were impressed by her clear view of the market and management of our expectations right from the start.
I have worked with RedLaw, specifically Jonathan Benjamin, for several years and they have always delivered. In looking for a new role and the challenges that go with it, they seem to be able to cut to the chase and help candidates in honing their search for firms that fit exactly within their comfort zones. They are extremely professional, proactive and, importantly for me, thoroughly nice people. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Jonathan and the rest of the RedLaw team
Engaging Jonathan's services is the first time we have actively used a legal recruiter to help us grow our firm. Rather than the stereotypical recruiter of thoughtlessly sending lots of CVs, Jonathan has taken the time to get to know us and his input and advice has been considered and helpful. He has presented a small selection of carefully chosen candidates, based specifically on listening to our needs, and we successfully recruited one of them. I would not hesitate to use or recommend Jonathan and hope to continue our working relationship.
I have worked closely with Jonathan and Amy at RedLaw for a few years now, and am consistently impressed with their refreshingly straightforward approach and excellent understanding of our firm. I have every confidence they represent us well to potential candidates and are able to accurately assess who will work well for us. They are also extremely nice people who are a pleasure to work with.
I have worked at RedLaw as Marketing Manager for 8 years. The culture here is different to anywhere else I have worked. It’s supportive, friendly and motivating - no room for egos which is refreshing especially given we work in the recruitment industry. Team members are polite, courteous, thoughtful, respectful. Cultural fit is really important at RedLaw and we invest time and energy in ensuring the company values which we hold dear are present in each individual we recruit.
The team is led by two individuals who have an almighty amount of knowledge of the legal industry and are simply true professionals and experts at what they do – this in itself creates an inspiring environment in which to work; it enables you to learn and encourages you to reach your ambitions. You feel a sense of pride working for this company – raising the bar for the recruitment industry.
There is a one team philosophy – we all work together in one open plan office, share successes and congratulate achievements openly whether that’s personally face to face, in company meetings or at team promotion drinks for example. Team members genuinely support their peers. Working at RedLaw you feel valued and appreciated and everyone is always generously rewarded for their efforts. There is a great deal of trust and openness between the Directors and their employees.
RedLaw has provided me with flexible working opportunities in the form of part time and working from home. As a mother of two small children, RedLaw is totally understanding of my position – that’s where the mutual trust and respect comes in. RedLaw has given me the best of both worlds and greatly enhanced my work life balance.
Managing any move between law firms is a process few undertake very often; it can often be a jump into the unknown, as can choosing a consultant. Luckily for me, on both these fronts in my recent move, I was fortunate to have to have chosen well. I can wholeheartedly recommend Amy Hambleton of RedLaw whose insight, support and deep and extensive market knowledge of the TMT and outsourcing market was pivotal. Amy worked in partnership with me throughout the process, providing insight and ensuring she had a very deep understanding of me and my practice so that she enabled the mutual fit that has proven itself. She was an excellent advocate for the firm that I ultimately joined, which has proven itself, thus far, to be a perfect fit for the firm and for me. A five star service.
I found Amy Hambleton to be a “breath of fresh air” in the world of recruitment. Amy listened to what I had to say, took account of all the factors that were important, and not important, to me in my next move and only arranged interviews with firms that were suitable. Amy communicated well with me at all times during my move and I always felt well informed about feedback from meetings that Amy had arranged for me. I also valued Amy’s views about the firms that I was seeing and the legal market in general. Amy is also a friendly person with a very pleasing personality. I would have no hesitation in recommending Amy.
Amy took the time to ensure that the firm was a good fit for me and my practice and guided me through every stage of the process. I particularly appreciated her market insight and I found her a pleasure to deal with.
I was initially very skeptical that Amy could match me with a firm that would tick all the boxes on my wish list (as they are not standard) but to my amazement she did! She really listened to my needs and didn’t try to force me into anything I wasn’t comfortable with. I would definitely recommend RedLaw to anyone and, in particular, Amy Hambleton. The process was seamless from start to finish.
I dealt with Jonathan and would have no hesitation in recommending him. Moving firms is a major upheaval and a stressful time. Jonathan was always available and was sensible, calm and assured. Whilst he is a good listener he had a strong view as to the various options which were on the table for me. Most importantly, he is genuine and advised me as someone who had my best interests in mind.
I was very appreciative of Jonathan’s calm and assured advice during what was a stressful time. I felt that he was genuine and had my best interests at heart.
I found Amy’s approach straightforward, friendly and supportive and at no time (unlike many head hunters) did she exaggerate the position applied for or any aspect of the job or firm. I would certainly not hesitate to instruct her to assist me in recruitment for the firm or personally for me in the future. RedLaw will be at the top of my list!
Amy has been a delight to work with – personable, hard-working, no-nonsense, pragmatic and, most importantly, a deep and detailed knowledge of the legal recruitment market. In short, a top notch recruiter! I’d highly recommend her.
I would highly recommend Amy. She is a stand-out recruiter, taking the time to get to know me, my requirements and my practice and working hard to identify suitable opportunities for me. Unlike others who simply seek to fill an available position, Amy kept my interests and objectives in mind throughout the process. She is professional, extremely approachable, patient, well connected and responsive. She has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the legal market, who is doing what and who is moving where, what would suit whom and what the culture is like at individual firms. She is by far the best recruiter I have come across.
When I decided to move firms after 13 years in one place, Amy was knowledgeable, frank and supportive but never pushy. Her description of firms was spot on, and I felt that she really listened to my feedback and requirements. Amy helped get me the ideal position in the firm of my choice, while also securing me a perfectly good back up if needed. I am very happy to recommend Amy to someone looking for a new role
Amy pitched the possibility of a move with a job spec I would have written myself and happily it proved to be entirely accurate unlike the more usual headhunter’s hype. Throughout the recruitment process, Amy was accessible and supportive knowing just the right times to push matters forward and when to take no for an answer! Having been hunted, I would not hesitate to use Amy as hunter for our next lateral hire.
I met 3 or 4 recruitment consultants and Jonathan was streets ahead of the rest. He gave me a clear view of the market and took the time to understand and engage with what I was looking for. Jonathan was supportive without being pushy and really listened to me. His advice and understanding of the market turned out to be spot on and I cannot recommend RedLaw highly enough.
I have no hesitation in recommending RedLaw not least because Jonathan took the time to carefully listen to what I was looking for from the outset and only proposed firms that clearly fitted the bill. He gained my confidence because he focused on mutual fit for a firm and me. I was regularly kept up to date with developments. Jonathan and Amy provide a seamless and professional service, which was ably supported by Laura.
I was looking to move to a firm with a strong international platform and firm commitment to private wealth with a collegiate and entrepreneurial culture. I met with Jonathan who immediately impressed me with his knowledge of the market and approach. He worked hard on my behalf finding both the right opportunity and also throughout the process to ensure it was smooth and stress free. I would have no hesitation recommending Jonathan to any other partner looking to make a move.
At my first meeting with Jonathan he helped me to identify what it was that I wanted from my next role. Despite working in a niche area of law, Jonathan showed a detailed knowledge of the market and quickly identified a number of City and West End firms that I would not have thought of contacting. Interviews were swiftly arranged and feedback promptly given. Jonathan is a key player in Partner level recruitment and clearly has excellent links with well-known and highly respected firms. His patience and guidance was invaluable throughout the process. Never once did I feel pressurized or hurried into making a decision by him. I would not hesitate in recommending Jonathan and RedLaw.
I found Jonathan to be an excellent recruiter. He was informative, helpful and most importantly listened. Jonathan was always available to chat things through and came up with the perfect role and helped me throughout each stage of the process. In summary I would describe Jonathan as a trusted advisor and I would have no hesitation recommending him to any partner considering a move.
I would like to thank Jonathan and his team for the professional advice and support that I received leading up to my partner move to a London practice. Jonathan displayed sound judgement and was very much my trusted advisor during this process.
Amy provided me with exactly what I wanted in my search for a new senior-level role. She completely understood my objectives in terms of identifying a firm with the right business and culture and was thoroughly professional, proactive, knowledgeable about the market, helpful, patient and realistic. I always felt that Amy was available for advice when I needed it and I was delighted with the outcome.
Jonathan very quickly understood the sort of role I was looking for and guided me through the recruitment process in a very professional, helpful and friendly manner. I would definitely recommend him and RedLaw for their proactive approach, responsiveness and sensible advice.

I found Jonathan’s knowledge of the market to be excellent, and he took the time to find out exactly what I wanted from a new position. He introduced me to a small number of firms which he felt might be suitable and I quickly found the right firm.
Amy Hambleton understood my practice and my aims, and the shortlist of firms that she produced fitted my practice perfectly. She guided me through the interview process and she was always on hand to provide her own thoughts on preparation when asked. When it came to making the critical decision about my new firm, she was honest and open about the offer.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Amy for her help and support throughout the entire recruitment process. I was very impressed by Amy’s professionalism. Amy was always ready and willing to listen to my needs and concerns and addressed each of them in a friendly yet professional manner.

Jonathan really stands out from the other legal recruiters in the London market. He is knowledgeable, pro-active and experienced. Most importantly, Jonathan always listened and acted on what I was looking for, which meant we quickly found the right firm together.
RedLaw’s Amy Hambleton was superb throughout the whole process. Her knowledge and approach were astute, timely and professional. Above all, her pro-active style ensured that I always felt that I was fully informed and that matters were progressing at the pace that I desired.
Jonathan Benjamin of RedLaw had the skills, the contacts and the good advice to help me find the partnership best suited to me. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Amy has been excellent - she pitched the opportunity to me in the right way and encouraged and guided me through the process. Her insights, experience and advice proved to be extremely helpful. She is also, at a personal level, absolutely lovely. I can only recommend Amy to anyone looking for a new challenge.
Jonathan provided great insight and career guidance. He has spent time and energy getting to know the New York market and was an ally in finding the right role at the right firm. He was always available to talk and helped from initial advice through business plan assistance through detailed discussions right to the end of the process.
Jonathan was a consummate professional from start to finish. He listened attentively to the description of my practice and what factors where important to me in order to get a comprehensive understanding of my circumstances. Most importantly, he understood that the cultural fit was as important as the practice fit.
Jonathan has excellent communication skills and communicated with me regularly. Moreover, throughout each stage of the recruitment process, he demonstrated an exceptional understanding of my requirements and only placed me in front of potential organisations that matched these requirements.
Jonathan found the right opportunity for me. I was sincerely impressed by the professionalism, his correct analysis of my requirements and his negotiation skills. He delivered on promises made, was transparent throughout the process and a pleasure to work with.

He is a professional and experienced recruiter with deep knowledge of the legal industry, who really added value throughout the process. He was always available to talk and provide support and advice. I would happily recommend Jonathan to any lawyer looking for their next move.
After my career had gone off on a specialist tangent, Jonathan helped me identify the best firm which would complement my practice. We spent a great deal of time meeting and discussing potential firms and opportunities. Jonathan was “spot on” in his analysis of my practice and what I was looking for – he knew better than me! He was also fantastic in keeping up the momentum and pushing the process through to the end. I would definitely recommend him.
Phoebe kept me informed throughout and I felt confident that I was fully prepared for each step of the recruitment process thanks to her guidance. Phoebe was very friendly and professional and I felt comfortable approaching her when needed. Overall a fantastic experience with this agency, would recommend to anyone. Really enjoying my new role so thanks again Phoebe!
Phoebe was extremely professional and kept me updated at every stage of my interview process. Phoebe is friendly, approachable and highly competent at all levels.
Phoebe has been excellent throughout the process of placing me in my current role. Her professional attitude and friendly nature really helped me to feel at ease throughout the process. Thank you Phoebe!
Amy is an excellent headhunter with a great knowledge of the legal sector and the players in the market. She is well connected and operates on a more personal network basis which helps immensely in the matching process. Amy has a willingness to listen to your drivers and make sure she only offers up something which is a good fit. Response times and speed of setting up meetings was amazing. Her background as an employment lawyer adds to her credibility and helps her to provide guidance at the final signing stages. I would not hesitate to recommend Amy and her team.
Phoebe was very helpful with my interview prep, would recommend :)
Phoebe was very helpful in securing my current role, she took the time to meet with me and discuss the ins and the outs of the role in detail. She even took my call when she was packing for her holiday and wasn't in the office. She was very dedicated to making sure that I had all the information of the role. Very friendly, approachable and helpful.
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Amy for her assistance through the process. Her knowledge of the client really assisted with my preparations and put me at ease before interviewing. Amy was easy to contact and always prepared to help me where possible. I would recommend using RedLaw and Amy to friends and colleagues.
Amy was absolutely brilliant in assisting me in securing my latest role as an Employment Partner at a leading private wealth firm. She was super professional and a joy to deal with.
Amy was a former employment lawyer herself so she really understood the market, me, my diverse blend of experience, and the broad range of clients I act for.
She was brutally honest in her advice and she was always spot on.
She had a brilliant insight of the employment offerings at a number of firms and their cultures which was incredibly valuable. The fact is, she has more than an understanding, more like a deep routed knowledge of so many firms. She knows what makes them tick, what they want to achieve and how best my experience, offering and client base would plug in. Amy adds this amazing and priceless knowledge on the ‘softer side’ of firms, a huge benefit of using a recruiter in your search.
My recommendation for Amy couldn’t be more glowing. It was just a brilliant experience from start to end.
Phoebe is amazing at what she does. She’s extremely professional and helpful. She makes you feel at ease before an interview by meeting with you beforehand - I found her tips and advice very useful. I would highly recommend Phoebe to anyone seeking new job opportunities.
Since joining Redlaw I have felt nothing but welcome and appreciated by my colleagues. Everyone works collectively as a team and it is a warm and friendly environment. Individual successes are celebrated by all and genuinely heartfelt. I am sure I will have a long and progressive career here at RedLaw!
We have recently worked with Amy on a specific search project. Amy was knowledgeable about the practice and sector areas in which we were interested which proved immensely helpful. She was keen to take the time to understand the type of candidate we were looking for; in relation to work and culturally. This insight, combined with the depth of her industry knowledge, allowed her to focus on targeting suitable candidates with the right cultural fit and required skill sets for us.
We were impressed by the number of high calibre partners initially presented to us. Amy skillfully managed the recruitment process throughout the search providing us with an excellent overview of each candidate, consistently communicating and giving feedback to all parties as the project progressed.
Amy was responsive and understood the market really well. The end result; an extremely successful hire for our firm delivered with exceptional levels of service.
Ria is the most professional and sweetest person, helped me through interview preparations, as well as giving regular updates on progress.
I was provided with interview questions to prepare answers too and she was always there on the other end of the phone if ever I had any questions! Thank you so much Ria!
Jonathan and his team are a pleasure to deal with. They provide a really personal service and which is discrete but effective. They go the extra mile so as to ensure the right fit keeping you informed every step of the way. Having dealt with other head hunters over the years they stand out from the crowd.
I was very impressed with Louise and the team at RedLaw. Louise was extremely knowledgeable about the sector and her client. I felt I was in very safe hands and was very supported throughout the recruitment process. I would highly recommend Louise and RedLaw
Amy was extremely helpful in the interview process and always supportive. She managed my expectations throughout and followed up with potential employers promptly so that I always received timely feedback. With Amy I felt that I was consistently making real progress and she was always happy to spare the time to talk over any questions I had.
I would highly recommend her to friends or colleagues.
I found Jonathan to be a true professional in thoroughly understanding the type of firm that would suit me, and then through RedLaw’s network, opening up the right opportunities for me to explore. His advice was balanced, neutral and honest, and I didn’t feel I was being pushed towards any firms that were not right for me. Through his experience and guidance, I feel I’ve moved on to a great firm that exactly suits my needs and practice.”
'I just wanted to say that I found Ria very approachable and knowledgeable and I felt that she gave really helpful advice both on a personal level and on a commercial level based on what was happening in the market (which was especially helpful given how uncertain everything has been over the last year). I felt like she really listened to what I was looking to change and helped me focus my wants and channel this into the types of firms that would allow me to do so (and gave an honest and balanced approach whilst doing so). I found her advice before interviews very reassuring and helpful given that it had been so long and she was always contactable and happy to give more advice. Thanks again for helping and I miss our daily calls!
Amy is different from other recruiters because she wasn’t afraid to challenge some of my perceptions and gave me the confidence to consider different options. She was also then helpful and responsive during the process so that I felt like I had someone in my corner throughout. She was a calm and supportive presence throughout – and critically she was responsive. I would definitely recommend Amy to other lawyers.
A big thanks to Amy. She stood out as head and shoulders above other recruiters I spoke to during my job search. I really appreciated her guidance during my recruitment process, and it was such a nice change to deal with someone with integrity and whom I felt I could trust with my career. Qualities which are sadly lacking in many other recruiters!
She has a real understanding of the market, and quickly built a great rapport which earned my trust. She is responsive, honest, and direct. Her advice during my recruitment process was reassuring and boosted my confidence. I have no doubt that Amy’s input has also boosted my career progression considerably.
Ria was an amazing support throughout the entire process of changing jobs. She really listened to and understood the type of firm, work and culture I was looking for in my move, rather than simply barraging me with any and every opportunity which came her way. Her approach is personal and tailored, and she is friendly, approachable and committed. Ria was very patient with me and my daily phone calls/panics(!) - she really cares and understands the stress and the stakes involved in switching jobs. I am very happy with my new role, and I would highly recommend Ria/Red Law's services for anyone considering a career change
Jonathan provided invaluable advice and assistance during the whole process and did not give up on me even when I turned down an actual offer. He has excellent knowledge of the legal sector and knew exactly what I was looking for in the new firm. I would highly recommend Jonathan and the rest of the team at RedLaw if you are considering a move.
I’m quite new to recruitment, but even so I’ve managed to make some exciting things happen from week one with this agency! I know it’s all down to the fact that we have some of the best client relationships in the market and the most supportive culture I’ve ever been in.
I’ve honestly never been happier at work and have felt so welcomed into the team. We get together quite often for socials and the vibe is always good – even when I’m having a bad day. I also really like the fact that we hold pro bono and charitable efforts highly.
In January 2022 I was promoted to Senior Consultant. I realise I have done well and outperformed any expectations of me, but I really never thought that I would be promoted for it. Without any prompting, my fantastic manager, Ria Karnik, recognised my hard work and determination and actually brought up the conversation of promotion. I thought it would take a while but it actually came around within about a month from our initial discussions.
I am so happy and thankful that I love where I work. I know some people say that and don't mean it, but I genuinely look forward to coming into the office and seeing my team in person. I love how well we all get on, and I love that we have an open plan office so I get to see everyone in the company! Getting promoted without any prompting from myself is just testament to the fantastic culture we have and it shows that the business recognises talent.
This last year, my first with RedLaw, has in reality offered much more than what I had expected, having worked in the industry for a number of years.
Forget the fruit, pass on the pastries and reject the rose (the latter I don’t!) – but all are offered to the team at RedLaw every week – just a small token of how we are all appreciated. However what is offered in abundance is support, encouragement and the chance to be the best headhunter you can be.
Every team within RedLaw works brilliantly together, supporting each other but also supporting each other across teams, from associates, business services and partners. RedLaw genuinely cares about each recruiter.
We have worked with Amy for many years in connection with our recruitment programmes. She is our ‘go to’ agent; always producing high quality candidates and never letting us down.
Amy is the only recruiter who has introduced Partners to our firm with a 100% success rate. That is truly exceptional.
Our recent merger was no exception. Amy was instructed to carry out a search and, as always, delivered. She was extremely professional and worked very hard for us. She took the time to understand what we wanted, a merger of a certain size which opened opportunities for growth. We are very pleased with the outcome.
Ria has been very responsive to our recruitment needs. She took the time to understand our business and our culture and was extremely selective in the candidates she presented to us, matching the candidates to the individual requirements of each role.
She has a natural style which made it a delight to chat with her. She provided us with market intelligence, provided prompt feedback and managed the entire recruitment process executing the project excellently.
RedLaw has a strong set of core values which are reflected in the individuals that work for the business. It is both reassuring and motivating to know that the people you work with strive to provide the best possible service whilst always maintaining the integrity of their advice to clients and candidates.
Working with like-minded people creates a friendly, enjoyable working environment and at RedLaw this is very much the case. Each member of staff feels a personal responsibility to ensure that they are contributing to the best of their abilities and also helping their colleagues to do the same.
It’s a business with an ethos that everyone who works here has bought into and this leads to a genuine sense of collective achievement in each other’s successes.
I had the immense pleasure of working with Ria and I absolutely could not have been happier of the respectable and friendly collaboration we had on track to my placement with a top international firm. Ria’s biggest strength lies in her negotiating skills capable of strategising the best outcome for her clients and honouring her promises to benefit all involved in the process. I found her to be extremely friendly, prompt and with an excellent understanding of business needs and managing expectations equally for all parties involved. Ria is brilliant and she brilliantly managed my expectations, I could not recommend her more!
Ria is an incredibly dedicated and attentive person who understands the needs of her clients. I had been in contact with Ria for a few months and she was more than happy to assist me on different occasions with unwavering enthusiasm. Ria's ability to set one's mind at ease and to ensure that her clients are kept updated on job applications are what has singled her out at the best recruiter that I have worked with. The calibre of jobs advertised by Redlaw clearly demonstrates their quality and high standing amongst legal recruiters. I would strongly recommend that anyone looking for a role in the legal space should contact Ria!
Ria was so helpful throughout the process of securing my new role, she offered great advice from start to finish of the application / interview process. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Ria helped me throughout the process of searching for a job, while remaining in constant contact on current and potential opportunities. Thanks to Ria’s assistance I received a position in the field I wanted.
Jonathan Benjamin at RedLaw is a professional and thorough recruiter and offers personalised service geared towards establishing a fruitful and mutually beneficial relationship between the firm and the candidate, taking into account their goals, requirements and culture fit. He has also been very helpful in providing guidance on each step of the process and being a sounding-board, including on the exit procedures from the old firm. On a more personal note, Jonathan himself is very charming and personable – as is his colleague, Amy Hambleton, who looked after me very well when Jonathan was away. I would recommend any candidate or law firm to work with them!
I’ve dealt with a number of recruiters over the years, and Amy was easily the most impressive. She was great to deal with and took time to understand what my needs and approach, then found me a role in which I am exceedingly happy after a rather bruising experience at my previous firm. I’d strongly recommend Amy to anyone interested in finding a new partner role.
I just wanted to say a big thank you for helping me secure my role.
You reached out to me when I had stopped looking for roles because I just didn’t think another firm would offer me a positive change.
You listened to what I was missing from my current role and you only sent me roles that fitted my exact (and difficult) requirements - I was so impressed by all the options you sent my way. And you never pressured me to respond or make a decision - you merely checked in to see how I was doing.
Obviously your background in law helped you understand the issues I flagged, but more than that you really have an impressive level of emotional intelligence which is rare.
It is such a shame the legal profession lost you, but it is at the benefit and the gain of the recruitment profession. I wish you all the success on your current journey - I know you will do great things.
Please do keep in touch.
Phoebe was super helpful during my recruitment process. She was always on hand for any questions and kept me up to date with the process at all stages. She clearly knew her client well as she was able to answer specific questions I had re the team. Highly recommend working with Phoebe, and will recommend to any friends/colleagues looking for a new role
As a Masters graduate, my experience of working with Phoebe has been wonderful. Phoebe's attention to detail and brilliant communication ensured that I felt at ease throughout the interview process and I found her advice extremely helpful. I am so grateful for her support in my job search and I would highly recommend working with Phoebe.
Phoebe was unbelievably helpful and kind throughout the process of helping me find my new role. She always answered my calls, even when they weren't planned, and reassured me with ease.
I had an amazing experience with Phoebe. She was very approachable and polite. Always updated me with interview progress and provided me with lots of support. Couldn’t recommend her enough!
I had an amazing experience with Phoebe as my recruiter. I began to lack confidence in my abilities and lose faith in my dream job as I found it hard to get employment as a new graduate coming out of the pandemic. Phoebe secured me my dream job and I’m absolutely over the moon. Phoebe reminded me of my abilities and what I was capable of and gave me the confidence I needed to excel in starting my career. I couldn’t recommend Phoebe enough - the best support and very professional!
Sometimes it takes a person to see your worth when you yourself are blindsided for whatever reason. Jonathan was amazing to help me see beyond the limitations I set myself and drew out of me the possibilities I only dreamed of. Now I’m working for a firm that I can add value and feel incredibly blessed to be a part of and for that I’m truly grateful.
I want to take this as an opportunity to thank you for your support with this role from the outset. You presented us with a number of solid candidates and we've really valued your help and patience throughout the process.
Ria has made my job hunting process extremely easy and stress free. I really appreciate her straightforward and honest approach in helping me find a role that suited my skill set, values and personality. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for new opportunities. I trust her judgment and will definitely use her again when I am ready for my next move
As someone who rarely changes firms, having someone to turn to for an honest opinion and full support is vital, and that is what Amy provided. My lateral move to my new firm was smoothly managed by Amy who provided practical guidance at every stage and was on hand to find answers to difficult or awkward questions. Put simply, Amy was a star and I cannot recommend her more highly
Ria made the rather daunting NQ moving process very comfortable but her constant availability to chat through interview questions and generally guide you in the right direction in a calm yet thorough way. Ria found the right balance between being confident in her recruitment abilities but not too much so that it borders on arrogance, something which can be off putting to a client. Ria continues to check on my progress in my new company and will be my go to recruiter for the remainder of my legal career - thank you Ria!
Louise was a delight to deal with from start to finish. She invested a lot of time to understand my current position and what I was looking to achieve and, unlike so many recruiters I have come across, she genuinely listened and took note. As a result, Louise did not waste any time talking to me about opportunities which she knew would not be right for me but, when she did find the right opportunity that she knew would be a good fit, she was incredibly diligent in encouraging me to explore it. I will always be thankful to her for this - the time and effort she had invested in getting a thorough understanding of my priorities meant that she immediately spotted this role was just what I was looking for and the prospective employer was a perfect match
I had the pleasure of having a great experience with Phoebe. She listened to my story and knew exactly what I was I was looking for and matched me perfectly with the job she knew I could do. Phoebe went above and beyond for me, giving me solid interview advice, kept me motivated and even took calls from me on her day off. If I ever need to look for a job again, I will definitely will be in touch with Phoebe. A true example of what a recruitment consultant should be!”
Phoebe is an outstanding recruiter. She has been amazing throughout the whole recruitment process! I cannot thank you enough for you full support, for believing in me and for helping me start a new chapter of my professional career. She is brilliant at what she does and I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Phoebe was a true expert! With Phoebe’s advise, professionalism and market knowledge, I managed to interview and secure a role in an entirely new sector. An opportunity that without Phoebe’s support, hard work and guidance - I would have struggled to find! It was a pleasure working with Phoebe.
From the first enquiring phone call, Phoebe was not only professional and informative, but also friendly and understanding. Her calls and contact before and after each interview boosted my confidence and also provided me with practical guidance. She put me forward for my current job and made the whole process as easy and fuss free, keeping me updated at every turn. I am very grateful for her help and support.
Phoebe is an amazing recruiter, she was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. She made me feel at ease and helped me to prepare for both of my interviews. She was always on hand for any questions I had and her advice was so helpful. She really is great at what she does and I have already recommended her to other friends/colleagues to help them with their job search. I am very grateful for the support I had from Phoebe and she was a pleasure to work with!
Phoebe really is one of a kind. She is an amazing consultant, very professional, supportive and kept me in the loop at all stages of the interview process. She gives great interview advice to make you feel at ease, and is always available if you have any questions. Phoebe really does go above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend Phoebe enough, and I am truly grateful for all the hard work she has put in supporting me.
Phoebe has been one of the best Recruitment Consultants I have an had the pleasure to work with. She always made the effort to keep me informed, to prep me briefly before interviews as well as checking in post-interviews. Phoebe made the recruitment process a lot more efficient and helped me to feel more at ease. Thank you for all your help!
I’ve worked with Ria to apply for number of roles within the legal sector. She is the most genuine, honest and caring person I’ve dealt with in recruitment. She cares not only about the candidates but also ensures both company’s and candidate’s requirements are met. She has been there for me through every stage of my application process and even on the first day, making sure I’m settling in ok. She’s not just another recruiter that is looking to fill an empty spot. She’s more like a caring family member, best friend and mentor that you never knew you needed until you meet her! If only every recruiter was like Ria, then job applications would be a walk in the park. I wish Ria and RedLaw team all the best! I’ll definitely be directing everyone who’s looking for employment in their direction!
Ria is a fantastic recruiter. She has always been very knowledgeable within her field and always checked up on me when I started a new position. She has placed me twice and both times have been fantastic. I highly recommend her.
Ria was excellent throughout the recruitment process. Very organised and helpful, would definitely recommend her.
Ria did a great job with finding me a paralegal role at a prestigious US law firm. She was very informative and made the process simple. I would recommend her to individuals wanting to pursue a career at top law firms
Ria was a fantastic recruiter and did an excellent job in securing me a new role in a prestigious US law firm. Where I have had previous experiences with recruiters who just want to throw as many candidates as possible at roles in the hope one of them will land, it was clear that Ria was thorough in her research to ensure the right person was matched up with the role on offer, for which I am very grateful.
Jonathan
provided a high quality and sophisticated recruitment service during my latest
move. He presented a number of options for my consideration and spent an awful
lot of time with me analysing in great depth the advantages of each
opportunity. Jonathan also played devil’s advocate challenging any
pre-conceptions I had about firms or roles, but was also very balanced and
considered in his approach which proved very helpful in guiding me to make the
right move.
Every time I had a
query or a concern during the process he didn’t brush them off, he took the
time and dealt with them in great detail. He was extremely responsive to my
calls and emails, something as a lawyer I rate very highly in client service.
Recruitment
consultants can be known to have an agenda to win the fee at any cost, but with
Jonathan I didn’t feel pressured into making any decision. I felt that at
any point I changed my mind on the direction in which I wanted to go, he was
extremely objective and supportive and understood my reasoning. Unlike other
recruiters, I felt Jonathan really cared about my best interests.
I had a great experience with Larissa throughout the
process of changing jobs. She is very knowledgeable about the market and was
therefore able to steer me towards roles I would find interesting and suit in
terms of work culture.
On a personal level, Larissa really made an effort to get to know me and to understand what I was looking for. I think that made a huge difference as I felt I could trust her to give me helpful advice tailored to me specifically. I think the fact that she has gone through the process herself as a former solicitor means Larissa appreciates how stressful the process can be and is very supportive and responsive throughout.
I was particularly nervous about the interview stage and Larissa guided me through, providing honest feedback and valuable tips. Thank you again, Larissa.
I really
enjoyed working with Amy on my relocation. She is friendly, available
when needed, organised, knowledgeable and most importantly discreet and very
calm under pressure. A definite ‘Thumbs Up’ from me.”
Ria is an absolute delight to work with, she understands what we as a firm are looking for and is always happy to go above and beyond. She places great quality candidates with us and even after they have started, still speaks to her candidates and checks in to see how they are. Ria is always responsive and supports us with salary guidance and market trends. I absolutely love working with Ria and she is a fantastic rep of Red Law!
My experience of working with Ria has been nothing short of excellent. Not only is she incredibly responsive, supportive and helpful but she understands the workings of our firm and its culture. As a majority of the candidates she submits are interview worthy, often successful and a good fit. She is also very informative and keeps you updated throughout the whole recruitment process. I would highly recommend Ria for her professionalism, commercial awareness as well as her very friendly approach to recruitment.
Amy is an exceptional recruiter who helped me find my dream job. She took the time to get to know me and carefully identify opportunities that were aligned with my values and career aspirations. She is highly knowledgable about the legal market, incredibly responsive and helpful, offering valuable insights on what to expect and how to prepare at every stage of the recruitment process. I cannot recommend Amy highly enough, either to candidates or hiring firms. She is a pleasure to work with and I know that we will stay in touch.
I was approached by Louise for a retained search. She was absolutely delightful and immediately engaging. Her knowledge of the market was exceptional and the depth of relationship with her client law firm really helped position the opportunity for me. Her level of involvement with the firm was a huge benefit. Louise was able to present actual experiences of the way in which the firm operates and how that would suit me and match my practice. She was frank, open, honest and communicative throughout the whole process and was a pleasure to deal with.
Ria is always open and transparent regarding the recruitment market conditions and what she can deliver on in terms of our recruitment needs. Our roles can often be complex with specific requirements and cover all areas of law but Ria’s knowledge across the entire legal market combined with her wealth of contacts in the paralegal space means she can be agile in meeting all of our needs switching between our many different requests.
We work to
tight deadlines often giving 12-24 hours notice on a role to be filled. Speed
is at the forefront for us along with high quality and Ria achieves both in the
service she provides and in the candidates she presents to us. Ria is
communicative and honest always keeping us up to date on all recruitment
processes which can be multiple at any given time and she consistently delivers
for us. We have been extremely impressed by what she has achieved for us
and her high standards of client delivery.
Phoebe was the best recruiter ever! From the very start, her communication was excellent. She was very helpful and took the time to understand exactly what I needed. Extremely friendly and made sure to always stay in touch during the full recruitment process! A true asset to RedLaw! Thank you Phoebe!
Ria is responsive, efficient and communicates clearly. She is upfront throughout the recruitment process and makes an often stressful process very comfortable to navigate. I really enjoyed working with Ria as a senior hire and would definitely work with her again.
I can't thank Phoebe enough for all her support and guidance. From the first phone call Phoebe guided and supported me through the interview stages and starting my role. Phoebe is so lovely and has continued to check in with me since I've started my new role. Definitely recommend, she is the best recruiter! I am very grateful for all her help!
Phoebe is so nice and so helpful! She worked with me for a while trying to find a new role and successfully helped me find one. Would 100% recommend working with Phoebe.
I found Amy to be an outstanding recruiter. She had a deep knowledge of the legal market and strong connections with the firm she introduced me to. It was clear they trusted her judgement and abilities as a valuable recruitment advisor. Amy was honest and open in all her dealings with me offering advice and guidance where needed. Although she has a strong relationship with the firm she had my best interests at heart and wanted the best move for me both personally and professionally
Amy really listened to what I wanted in my next role. There were two crucial points which were important to me and she achieved these; the move had to be right for this stage in my career and confidentiality in getting me there. Fundamentally I wanted to work alongside nice people so the culture and environment were key. The match Amy made was a great one.
I haven’t had a lot of experience working with recruiters but they do have a bad reputation of not caring whether they fit a square peg in a round hole. My experience with Amy was the complete opposite. She cared about me and she cared about her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend Amy.
"I would highly recommend working with Ria as she treats candidates as human beings and is always available to have a chat or give you an update through the interview process. She is one of the most trustworthy recruiters I have ever met."
"I highly recommend Ria to anyone looking for a legal role. Both her, and Mark, were kind and helpful throughout my interview process, and prepared me for each stage. With Ria’s help I was able to secure a role I’m very happy with."
Amy supported us with a recent IP search which had proved a hard to fill role for us. We had filtered through a lot of recruitment agencies but Amy, Jon, and Mark at RedLaw were recommended to us.
Right from the start they came across as highly credible, knowledgeable and they took time to listen to our requirements. Amy was thoroughly professional throughout the recruitment process bringing in high calibre professionals to put to the Board. Not only did she bring in a Head of IP for our firm but also a second IP partner to strengthen the team, both placements exceeding our expectations.
Amy and I worked in partnership throughout the process, which at times proved tricky and challenging. However, the result was an efficient and effective hiring process which went very smoothly. Amy also ensured she secured feedback from her candidates on the candidate experience day which I had recently introduced which was in the early stages of implementation which was super helpful.
The RedLaw team have since supported us on a number of hires. I’ve met many agencies and they can be very difficult to deal with. Amy is great to chat to both professionally and personally. She always takes time out to assist, give her advice or insight on the legal recruitment market always with an honest and upfront approach.
Louise Wall is an excellent legal recruiter. She was very communicative and collaborative, and was always available to chat through thoughts and next steps. She is very switched-on and seemed very plugged-in to the firm she was representing, which helped give confidence when exploring as to whether the move was right for me – and it was! I am really pleased with the support which Louise provided – it was a very positive and enjoyable experience.
My experience with Louise and the wider RedLaw team was great.
We worked with Amy on 2 IP partner hires and were delighted with the profiles she introduced and the results. Overall, I would definitely recommend RedLaw for IP recruitment.
Amy is a pleasure to work with, and her knowledge of the industry is second to none. Her thorough understanding of firms' market position, strengths and culture enables her to match firms and candidates successfully.
I worked with Amy for my latest move. It was a very lengthy process and I’m very grateful for her help and guidance. The process could be intense at times but Amy was absolutely fantastic throughout.
Amy has put a lot of time in to get to know the firm and has met all the key people - most other recruiters just don’t go to these lengths. Therefore, she had a wealth of knowledge and knew the firm which was immensely helpful in my decision making process. As well as knowing the characters of certain partners, Managing Partner, Head of Finance and Head of HR, she also had insight about the workings of the firm, the culture, values, office layout, even the canteen arrangements, every detail. She also put her homework in getting to know me too so she could sell me to the right firm ultimately making the perfect match.
We are all impressed by Amy, I know that both parties, myself and the firm, highly rate her abilities as a recruiter.
Alexis did a great job in securing me a new position as a Partner at my current law firm. She’s very proactive and has good interpersonal skills that are so important in ensuring the process goes smoothly. I’d recommend her to anyone that’s thinking about moving firms.
Jason is very well connected and knowledgable about the city’s legal needs and practices. A reliable and responsible adviser to me, placing me at a great firm that he has built a strong, trusted relationship with over several years. His advice is sound and considered and just over a year on from my move, I couldn’t be happier with my choice to join my current vibrant, successful firm.
I had a very positive experience partnering with Amy for my recent move, not just because of securing a great offer but in terms of her positioning – she was very keen to do what was right for me. I first chatted with Amy 2/3 years ago regarding an opportunity with the firm I have now joined but, at that time I was not ready to move. She was not in any way pushy or persuasive but has a sensitivity in her communications with what’s right for the individual, an arrangement which is impressive in a recruiter.
When I was ready to make the move, she re-engaged with the firm. Amy took the time to gain a good sense of why I was looking, my business case and that of the firm’s which ensured we were both aligned with the end goal. She was very good at organising the meetings, understood the market and had depth of sector expertise.
She was excellent at relaying my needs to the firm and kept them engaged throughout – it was important for me to navigate the process at my own pace with time needed to make the final decision and Amy was very happy to accommodate, very patient, personable and easy to talk to with a supportive yet realistic approach. Amy facilitated this move in an excellent way.
Working with Jonathan was definitely a great experience; he is professional and his advice was invaluable on helping me make the right choice out of the options available. I would highly recommend him to any partner looking to make a move.
Jason was a pleasure to work with. He gave a thorough brief at the outset and managed the process very smoothly from start to finish. A great move for me and I would heartily recommend him.
I liked Amy from her first call. She was friendly but not pushy and always very professional with sensible advice. She was very patient too and available to answer all my many questions and allay any concerns I had about an important career move. I am very grateful for all Amy’s help in finding me a fantastic new work home - thank you, Amy!
Jason assisted me with my recent move. He got to know me well and ensured he was aware of my key drivers. He knows the market well and takes care of every detail. A pleasure to deal with.
I was extremely impressed with the service Louise provided. Moving firms can be a challenging process, but Louise managed this very well, was professional and calm and didn’t allow issues that arose to detract from achieving a positive outcome.
Louise had a great relationship with the firm I moved to. She took time to understand the type of work I wanted, my clients and the type of people I wanted to work with. She appreciated that I wanted to grow my practice area – she got all of this straight away unlike other recruiters who don’t even check these details – and she found a position and a firm that properly suited my needs.
She was proactive throughout the entire recruitment process and I always felt that Louise had my best interests at heart.
From my first in-person meeting, Louise was extremely constructive – she was knowledgeable of the market, personable and motivated to find me the right firm for my practice. It was clear she has a real passion for recruitment and supporting partners with their lateral moves.
She worked quickly and efficiently to identify suitable firms that matched my skills. She was very much on the top of her game and totally committed throughout the entire process.
We developed a close relationship; her communication and service were exemplary. Louise was always available and there to provide support and guidance, especially useful in preparing me for all interviews giving valuable background information including details of the people I was meeting.
She has enormous amounts of experience and she really knows what she’s doing. She is kind and caring but knows when to push to keep the momentum going. I definitely got the sense that she wanted the very best for me. She carefully steered me through the business plan which was a significant piece of work and she did so successfully.
I’m very grateful to Louise for the help she provided.
I have used Amy and Jonathan at RedLaw to help with the firm’s partner recruitment for a number of years and they have helped us with a number of strategic hires. Most recently, I approached RedLaw to assist us with finding a team to bolster our TMT practice. We worked on the brief and straight away Amy identified a match. We went on to hire two leading partners and three additional lawyers as part of this team move.
I have dealt with other recruiters in the past but there’s a number of factors why RedLaw stand out. They know me and the firm well and we’ve established a positive long-term working relationship. RedLaw have a depth of understanding of our practice area; they are very well connected and know the key players in the market. They are very easy to work with adapting to the way we work and are very responsive to our needs.
Perhaps most importantly, they are very good at matching us with good candidates; the individuals they put forward never waste our time. Amy and Jonathan have a very strong track record of delivering the right people for our firm, hiring individuals that do very well with us and stay a long time – this cuts out some of the risk in the hiring process, with no surprises once people join.
These successful hires are why we continue to work with RedLaw and why I recommend them to my colleagues looking to build out their teams and practices.
Emily has just made a placement with us for the compliance role....I just wanted to say, because I think feedback is always important, that she was a delight to work with. Very responsive and helpful and we’d happily put our vacancies her way in future.
I have worked closely with Jason for the past 6 years and he has always been an absolute pleasure to deal with. He is honest, reliable and thorough in his approach and has vast (some may say encyclopaedic) knowledge of the legal market. Jason is a trusted advisor of ours and I look forward to working with him for many years to come.
I had worked with Amy previously on recruitment programs when looking to bolster teams for my old firm. When I was ready to then explore opportunities for my own move, there were a number of reasons I went to Amy and not any other recruiter – she had seen what I had done at the firm, I knew she had good connections within the legal world and she had a deep knowledge of my practice area having practiced as an employment lawyer herself. We had built a good rapport, she was professional and driven which I felt mirrored my own views and professional conduct.
When I met Amy she was very good at understanding what I needed from the next step, which would perhaps be the final move in my career. Her knowledge of the market and her position as a recruiter means she has an awareness of the impact a firm’s lack of succession planning can have on senior partners’ advancement and retention. She proposed various options to me within the market but she indicated one firm in particular that she thought would work well and be a perfect fit for me culturally and for my practice. She had long standing, personal relationships with the key players both within the employment arena and the firm as a whole and immediately put me in touch.
Amy’s role, indeed as a successful matchmaker, helped secure the perfect match with the right firm.
During the recruitment process Amy was communicative, responsive and professional. She puts the needs of the candidate first and provides honest and well thought out advice. Amy had a lovely and patient manner and gave me an honest overview of where I sat within the market and my options.
It is clear Amy has strong connections with magic, city and international firms and an obvious benefit for me was Amy's extensive experience and knowledge gained from her own employment law practice. She had a comprehensive understanding of the market, the firms to approach and the specific employment teams working within them. I would highly recommend engaging Amy for your search.
Amy was the best recruiter I had ever dealt with. She was honest, had a great commercial awareness and clearly understood the legal market and partnership hires within it. She has an extensive knowledge of the London market and identified the firms that would be most suitable for me.
She had a good grasp of control managing the entire process from setting up the initial informal chats with the firm through to the final interviews. She struck the right balance – she was attentive and responsive yet never over the top. She respected my role and time constraints as a busy senior partner and good communications were always essential in order to enhance the process. I never felt pressured, she always worked with me to find convenient times to talk and gave me space to breathe and make considered judgements. This is in stark contrast to other recruiters where their main goal is purely to secure a fee. This did not come across at all with Amy, she gave honest and helpful advice guiding me well through the move.
It's been a pleasure working with Emily - she is professional, proactive, and supportive. Emily listened and understood the types of roles I was looking for and helped to find the best suited position for me. I couldn't recommend her more!
Could not recommend Emily enough! She was super helpful throughout the whole process and gave really great advice during the interviewing process. Emily was always quick to respond and was always there for reassurance. Honestly felt really looked after. Thank you Emily.
Emily was fantastic at helping me succeed in finding a job that was right for me and succeed in my job interview. She aided me during every step of the process ensuring I was thoroughly prepared, confident, and ready. She was lovely to speak to and I would definitely recommend her!
Jason at RedLaw helped us with a senior partner level search in a niche area and we worked together towards a great outcome. He was enjoyable to work with and we look forward to working with him again in the future.
