  • Sophie Finnerty

    Business Development, Clifford Chance

    ​I recently worked with Ben during the recruitment process for my current role and really appreciated his expertise and professionalism throughout the process. He was knowledgeable about the industry and the position, and his insights were always helpful. He stayed in touch, was quick to respond, and made the experience smooth from start to finish. I’d happily recommend him to anyone working with for your next role!

  • Dahlia Gray

    Pitches & Pursuits Manager, Hogan Lovells

    ​I recently had the pleasure of working with Ben during my recruitment process. From the very beginning, it was clear to me that Ben has an exceptional understanding of the legal marketing industry and the law firm that ultimately hired me. He guided me through the interview process and kept me informed of updates at every turn, sharing important insights and recommendations. This was an extremely positive experience and I recommend Ben as a standout legal marketing recruiter.

  • Alaina M.

    Strategic Marketing Professional, Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP

    ​Ben and his team are the most reputable recruiters in the legal marketing industry. Despite not moving forward with his recommended law firm several years ago, we kept in touch. When I was in the market for a new role, he took the time to understand what I was looking for and presented me with options I hadn’t previously considered. This led me to accepting a role I’m extremely happy with that wasn’t widely advertised in the market—all thanks to Ben taking the time to get to know me, my career goals, and my preferred workplace culture.I never hesitate to connect him with colleagues looking for their next opportunity, and neither should you.
