I trained and qualified as a real estate lawyer at DLA Piper and spent 3 years in practice before switching to legal recruitment in 2003, when I joined a large international recruitment agency. I quickly became head of the London private practice division and then a director responsible for UK and Ireland. In 2009, I founded RedLaw together with Amy Hambleton with the intention of creating a quality legal recruitment boutique. Since creation we have been privileged to win a number of industry awards. My focus is recruiting partners and teams for a range of UK and US City firms splitting my time between the UK and New York. I have a straightforward, pro-active approach honed by many years working with partners and teams. My focus is giving the right considered careers advice so if a partner makes a move it is to the right firm for the right role I like to go the gym and spend time with my three teenage children and wife. I am also a keen supporter of a variety of charities and am currently on a number of charity committees.
