“Kelly was invaluable in helping me secure my dream NQ role. She was always professional and friendly, and is very knowledgeable of the industry. Kelly is a credit to the world of Private Client and I would have no doubt in recommending her to others. Thank you, Kelly, for all your guidance and wisdom.”
Rebecca Scaturro, Private Client Solicitor
“Kelly has been absolutely brilliant to work with over the last 12 months.
She quickly understood the culture of our firm, and what we were looking for. In a very difficult and passive market she was able to find excellent candidates for us, who have been a brilliant fit into our team and firm. Kelly has recruited 5 team members for us, and we’re going from strength to strength.”
Julie Jewers, Director at Berwins Solicitors
“I have recently worked with Kelly on a difficult role to fill due to a lack of candidates on the market for Private Client. Kelly was really helpful throughout – she listened to what I was looking for and actively applied that to the candidates she was representing so the candidate on paper was perfect and in person even more so! She is responsive and works hard to understand the role and our ‘ideal’. It is a refreshing and reassuring approach. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services!”
Sarah Louise Walker, Head of WTTP Birmingham, Weightmans
“Kelly was professional, efficient and supportive throughout. She enabled me to achieve three interviews and the perfect position. I would highly recommend her.”
Lucy Fowler, Private Client Solicitor
“Kelly’s help was invaluable in expanding my team. She was accommodating and incredibly helpful. I am very happy to recommend her.”
Michelle Wightman, Private Client Partner, Keeble Hawson
“Jen was excellent. She guided me without being pushy, and I felt that she really listened to what I wanted and found exactly the right opportunity. Jen was incredibly supportive throughout the whole process and I felt that she had my best interests at heart. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for help finding a new position”
NQ Solicitor
“Bill was, quite frankly, brilliant; right from the word go he made sure he understood my specific requirements and concerns and looked to address them, using his industry knowledge to great effect. He made the whole process as stress free as possible and was quite happy to have the awkward conversations on my behalf. Thanks Bill!”

Julie Jewers
Specialist Wills, Estate Planning, Trusts, Asset Protection & Probate Solicitor
I can't thank Kelly enough for all her help and support in getting me my new role. I was at somewhat of a crossroads and looking to make a bit of a non-conventional move by swapping specialisms which is difficult enough on its own never mind during a global pandemic. Kelly really took the time to find out what I wanted from my next role and helped find firms which matched that. She knows the private client industry exceptionally well and truly is excellent at her job. she was prompt with her feedback and so helpful during the entire process from CV to interview and negotiation of terms. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to any firms or solicitors looking for their next employee or next role. Thanks again Kelly!
Jade Atkinson
Private Client Solicitor
We turned to Kelly when we were looking for a Head of our Private Client department. She took the time to understand our business and culture and quickly provided several very credible candidates for a role for which we had been finding it difficult to find the right person. We found a fantastic solicitor with great skills and who fits our ethos very well. Kelly supported us throughout and I highly recommend her.
Chris Gawne
Director at Price Slater Gawne Solicitors
Kelly was personable, knowledgable and proactive. She put my mind at ease on the recruitment process and managed to match me for a new position on my first interview! I would certainly recommend Kelly to anyone seeking a private client position.
