She is the Managing Director of the North West, Birmingham, Yorkshire & North East, London perm, Scotland and Ireland private practice team and has worked at BCL Legal since 2007. Mary started her recruitment career 13 years ago and in that time has placed hundreds of legal professionals in both temporary and permanent jobs in the legal sector. Mary's always focussed on the North West region and is very much a specialist in the market. 

Mary’s client base spans the spectrum from small boutique practices to multinational firms as well as three of the Big 4 accountancy firms who have legal teams. She has been instrumental recruiting for firms starting up in Manchester and Liverpool, fledgling businesses seeking mergers and rapid expansion as well as assisting ‘new entrants’ to the Manchester market, including dealing with northshoring projects.

She also regularly speaks at events aimed at helping solicitors to realise their career ambitions.
