Our Team

I work with senior lawyers, advising on partnership and team moves within private practice at UK and US firms. I’m a Director of RedLaw, originally beginning my career as a lawyer. I spent several years at Bird & Bird, training there to becoming a mid-level associate. I later moved as part of a team to set up a successful boutique firm, before becoming a Senior Associate at Allen & Overy. In 2009, I founded RedLaw with Jonathan Benjamin. I work with senior lawyers (from senior equity partners to lawyers seeking their first partnership appointment) who are looking for a partnership move and I have had extensive experience working with lawyers on both individual moves and also on larger team moves. I work with a broad spectrum of law firms predominantly in London and have placed lawyers across the commercial law spectrum: corporate, finance, real estate, energy, technology and IP, competition, tax, employment, to name a few.

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 young children and wife. I am also a keen supporter of a variety of charities and am currently on a number of charity committees.

A Law graduate with a strong client facing background. My approach is personalised & transparent, with a view to building long term relationships. I graduated from The University of Newcastle (Law LLB, 2.1) in 2007, before joining a Construction Group for 5 ½ years where I progressed to ‘Head of Sales & Marketing’. Outside of work, I am a huge football, cricket & rugby union fan and this passion extends to both playing and watching. I particularly enjoy following Sheffield Wednesday & the England cricket team around the country, even when they’re losing.

Currently an advisor to a number of Boards within the sector, I am a regular speaker at International Recruitment events and frequent press contributor. I am an ambassador for The Princes Trust, mentoring young entrepreneurs, and was a judge at the 2013 National Business Awards. I was voted “Entrepreneur of the Year” by Ernst & Young in 2004, won “Entrepreneur of the Year “at the National Business Awards in 2005 and was recognised for “Lifetime Achievement “in 2006 by the Recruitment Industry.

I head up the Business Support and Paralegal team at RedLaw. Key Areas: Business Development, Marketing, HR, Paralegals, Finance/Accounts, Risk & Compliance, Legal Administrators, Legal Secretaries/PA’S, Reception, Facilities, IT and IP Support. Prior to joining RedLaw I worked as a Managing Consultant at an International legal recruitment business, and even worked at a law firm myself, many years ago, as a paralegal. I like to think that my approach is discreet, honest and very different to many of the other traditional recruiters within the legal support world. Over the last few years I have developed a consultancy model that challenges the out-of-date methodologies used by my competitors. Outside of the office I enjoy (or perhaps used to enjoy) playing and watching many sports. I now have a lovely young family, which means I spend more time acting as a taxi driver for my three children, instead of enjoying life on the golf course!

I focus on the associate market and have over seven years’ experience in legal search. Prior to this, I graduated from the London School of Economics in 2009 with an upper second class honours degree in International History and achieved a Distinction in the Graduate Diploma in Law from the College of Law. I enjoy long distance running and am a member of a local running group.

In my role as PA to Directors/Office Manager I support in anyway from arranging candidate interviews and client liaison to ensuring a smooth running of the office. Prior to joining RedLaw I was PA to a Director working in Australia for three years, I am passionate about this avenue of work. Outside of work I love to travel and being a newlywed, spending time with my husband!

I am a specialist consultant with RedLaw’s private practice team and assist qualified lawyers at all levels with moves to leading international and UK based law firms. Prior to joining RedLaw I worked for an international recruitment business and focussed on transactional lawyer moves in the London market. I avoid a ‘one size fits all’ approach and instead focus on gaining an in-depth understanding of each individual’s motivations and long term goals so as to provide genuinely bespoke advice and guidance. Outside of the office I enjoy good music and good movies as well as socialising with friends. I am also an avid football fan (Manchester United) and attend as many games as I can fit in.

I specialise in recruiting associates of all levels within private practice. Prior to joining RedLaw, I spent 6 years working at a leading Silver Circle firm. I take a friendly and consultative approach. It’s important to fully understand and consider the individual’s motivations and career goals to find the right firm for them. I love visiting the theatre, museums and festivals.

I am a Consultant on the Business Services team. My background is in legal recruitment, focusing on legal support recruitment within UK and US law firms, ranging from magic circle to smaller boutique practices. I assist our clients with temporary and permanent vacancies. My main focus is Legal PA and Secretarial recruitment, but I also work closely with the team on other business support roles. I provide clients with advice regarding their recruitment needs and current market trends, and in addition, I offer candidates consultative career advice, tips on writing CV's and coach them how to present themselves as best they can in interviews. Being the youngest of 7 sisters, my weekends and holidays are up by seeing my young nieces and spending time with my family.

I focus on all things operational at RedLaw, supporting all divisions strategically and overseeing HR and finance. I head up the internal recruitment and on-boarding programmes and am passionate about the inspired and supportive culture we already have here and am excited to continue to build on this – it’s what sets us apart from other legal recruiters. Since joining RedLaw, I have implemented a unique rewards & benefits scheme for our employees as well as highly rewarding social & environmental projects accessible to the entire team. In my spare time I love exploring London, travelling and going to the theatre. Originally from Australia, I also try and get to the ocean as often as possible!

I specialise in placing Associates into roles across London and have over eight years' experience in legal search. I work with a range of clients including US, Magic and Silver Circle, City, Regional, West-End and boutique firms. My role also includes providing career advice to lawyers at all levels of their career and advising private practice law firms on salaries, packages and candidate attraction strategies.

I am a Consultant working on the German team at RedLaw. I work with lawyers seeking their next moves from all levels from NQ to Senior Associate. I studied PPE at the Free University of Bolzano and did a PhD at the University of Warwick. I’m originally from Germany and have been living in the UK for six years. In Germany we recruit across all areas of the law with a strong focus on Corporate/MA and Finance roles. We work with clients recruiting in Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Munich, Berlin, and Hamburg. Outside work I enjoy hiking, snowboarding, travelling and the arts.

I graduated from the University of East Anglia with a 2:1 in Politics in 2010 before beginning my career in legal recruitment later the same year. Over the past 9 years I have developed an in-depth knowledge of the London legal market, prioritising client service and developing strong and lasting relationships. Outside of work, my life generally tends to revolve around sport, with the Ireland Rugby Team and Manchester United being particularly close to my heart. I am also a keen gym goer and cyclist.

Having spent five years in private practice as a solicitor, I have a good understanding of the legal market and the challenges that are faced by private practice associates. After reading Law at Durham I trained at a full service firm before moving to a niche private client firm in the West End. Accordingly, I have a good understanding of a range of practice areas and their associated demands. I focus on assisting associate solicitors move between roles in private practice. I take a consultative and proactive approach that takes the strain away from candidates. Client firms and candidates alike can expect a thorough and genuinely helpful approach to meeting their needs. I organise an annual charity fundraising Scottish reeling ball. I enjoy playing tennis, skiing and sailing.

After graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a degree in Marketing & Public Relations in 2000, I have held a number of creative marketing roles which have provided me with a wealth of varied experience across the Marketing & Communications spectrum. My role at RedLaw includes the management of brand strategy for the business, internal and external communications, events, digital marketing as well as CSR. I have a new found interest in baking which I have discovered since starting to make birthday cakes for my two young children. Each cake is a personal challenge to out-do the previous year’s creation! I also enjoy travelling when I can.

I am the Candidate Manager on the Business Services team. My background is in legal recruitment, previously recruiting Company Secretaries and In-House legal professionals at Chambers & Partners. Most recently I have experience recruiting PA/Secretarial and business support roles for UK, US and International law firms. I provide candidates with advice regarding their career aspirations and offer a consultative service to candidates at all levels, across all areas of business support. Outside of work I am usually running around after my 2 year old twins or eating out with my family.
