I found BCL to be fast, knowledgeable and professional. The overall outcome of this recruitment exercise was very successful. I have no doubt we will use BCL's services again in future.

Solicitor, Osborne Clark
Mark Levine is extremely knowledgeable in relation to in-house roles. He didn’t just ask me what I needed - he analysed the role, the work, my company – it was a full but carefully constructed analysis. When he finds candidates he then explains how they might fit, the areas that might not work and then how they might view the company. This is very important as lawyers will often have different views of companies when compared to law firms. Mark has managed to find candidates when others have failed.
