I have known and worked with JM Legal for more years than I care (or wish) to remember and in particular, I worked closely with Lee, recruiting legal secretaries into various firms. What I appreciate most is that JM Legal know their market inside out and they make it their business to understand your firm and its culture. This ensures that it is not just the skills set that they get right, but they also get the right ‘fit’. Lee genuinely takes your comments and concerns on board and has a wealth of knowledge which he is always willing to share. As well as being professional and easy to talk to, he is also good fun to work with!

I’ve worked with Lee at JM Legal for a number of years now, mainly on PA recruitment. He has always been approachable and knowledgeable on market conditions and puts forward excellent quality candidates for the roles he is working on. He knows his candidates well and ensures that they are ready for interview, and equally, he has always been helpful and hands on when it comes to interview logistics. Lee always goes the extra mile to ensure that the business and the candidate is happy at offer stage. I’ve been very happy with the service received from JM Legal to date and I’m excited to continue working with Lee moving forwards.

David recently assisted in securing the perfect role for me. As soon as I let him know I was interested in the role via LinkedIn he made direct contact and we discussed everything in detail. Throughout the process David was always at the end of the phone for me with guidance and answers to my questions. He is one of the most personable recruiters I’ve dealt with, which made the process a whole lot more enjoyable. He kept me up to date with progress and I always felt informed. Since starting the role David has kept in contact, checking in and ensuring I am happy and settling in. That is so important, especially at a time like this when working autonomously from home, which can be daunting in a new position. Thank you so much for your support, I am loving my new role

Adam is fantastic at what he does! I approached him at the end of last year as I was looking for a new job and within 6 weeks I had a job offer. From the beginning right up until he successfully placed me into a permanent role at a magic circle firm, he consistently supported me in my applications. He went above and beyond to ensure I was prepared for interviews and provided a professional service. Highly recommended!!

I was out of work for six months, really struggling to find a job that was suitable for me. But a friend of mine recommended JM Legal. I gave them a call and Sian became my recruitment consultant. As soon as I met Sian and spoke through my options I was really excited and hopeful. For the first time in six months I really felt like I could actually find I job. Sian worked really hard finding as many opportunities for me as possible that she knew would be suited to me and within a few weeks I had an interview. Sian was so helpful in the preparation; going through all types of questions, examples etc. I'd never felt more prepared for an interview! So with my first interview I got the job and I was so pleased. Sian made sure everything went as smoothly as possible and made finding a job in law look so easy. I'm a week into my job now as a general office assistant, working with the nicest people, all thanks to Sian and she still makes sure I'm happy and settled in. I cannot thank Sian enough. For the first time I have found a recruitment consultant that really cared.

Adam was fabulous! As someone who has been fortunate enough to have never had to go to market to look for work in my whole career, I was daunted, to say the least! Adam put me at ease instantly and did a fantastic job at putting me forward for roles that I may ordinarily not have looked at. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Adam, thank you for your patience. I know I wasn’t the easiest of candidates!!!

During the pandemic I was struggling to find my forever job. I found myself hopelessly signing up with recruitment agencies with promises, but after the initial process I felt like I was constantly hitting a brick wall. I spoke with David who was upbeat and a pleasure to talk to, but again I wasn’t expecting anything. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a phone call the next day comfirming my CV had been sent across to a firm and we were waiting to hear back. David kept me in the loop with everything, even when there wasn’t any news. Then, the news finally happened. I got an interview. From then I secured a position and have been happy and content within my role and can honestly say this is my forever job. David listened to me and met my expectations without holding back.
