Testimonials

I had the chance to know David during a selection process. He has proved himself a valuable supporter: very proactive and helpful, he has been reliable presence during the whole procedure. As a candidate, I felt reassured and personally backed (he answered my doubts and questions even during the weekend). Working with him was a successful experience.

I had the opportunity to work with David whilst making a recent career move from trainee solicitor into a newly qualified position. David understood immediately what both my short term and long term objectives were and gave incredibly useful advice on the direction I should take to achieve those aims. David never tried to advocate positions out of convenience, and didn’t force me to pursue or consider roles that I wasn’t genuinely interested in. I was impressed that David really listened to what I was saying. This meant that only relevant opportunities were sent my way and I wasn’t inundated with irrelevant vacancies which can be frustrating. David was diligent throughout every stage in the recruitment process ensuring I had enough information to make the right decision at what is a daunting time in any legal career. The whole process was incredibly smooth and I really felt that I always had support and someone fighting my corner at all times! This helped to take the pressure off me and make everything easier. This coupled with the fact I found David very easy to talk to made everything less scary. David always made himself available to answer emails, calls and to chat things through. This flexibility was much appreciated as it meant I could have meaningful discussions out with office hours. I have no hesitation in recommending Thomson Legal Recruitment.

Aimee DoranSolicitor, Dentons LLP

I can’t recommend David highly enough. He has excellent knowledge of the legal industry and provided me with invaluable support prior to both of my interviews. David was very proactive and kept me fully updated throughout the process, in addition to ensuring I had settled in well once I had secured the position which I really appreciated.

Leanne HammellCommercial Solicitor, Pinsent Masons LLP

I would recommend David to any solicitor or legal professional for a number of reasons but the excellent support he provides throughout the application process is by far the best reason for me. Although I was looking for quite a specific role, I found David to be very helpful, informative and above all available when it came to the job market at any given time in multiple jurisdictions. I have only used Thomson Legal for a few months however, I have been successful in obtaining my ideal position and its is down to David’s knowledge of the Scottish (and international) legal markets that I am in the position I am today. I have thanked him personally for all of his help and I would recommend any to legal professional, the services on offer at Thomson Legal.
