Private Career Advisory
Independent career advice for experienced lawyers
The most important career decisions are rarely straightforward. Whether you're considering a move, evaluating an opportunity or planning your longer-term direction, independent advice can provide valuable perspective.
My advice draws on more than 25 years' experience across the legal profession as a lawyer, legal recruiter and former Head of Resourcing at a leading international law firm, together with ongoing analysis of the London legal market through the Rackle Legal Hiring Index.
Every consultation is confidential, objective and designed to help you make informed career decisions with confidence.
