I have with dealt with David on a number of occasions. I found his knowledge and contacts in the legal job markets in Dublin and London extremely helpful. From a candidates perspective, I particularly appreciated his honest and discrete management of the recruitment process. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

I’ve worked with David for a number of years both as a recruiting employer and as a successful candidate and can highly recommend Thomson Legal. David has a great network, has strong relationships with major employers and has a refreshing straightforward, open approach which sets him apart from other agencies.

David is a great listener, is really well-connected, and offers great options. David’s communication is also absolutely excellent. He even followed up to ask about the birth of my son, which was really appreciated.

David recently helped me to secure a permanent role with an excellent organisation. He was brilliant to work with and was much more attentive than any other recruiters I have worked with in the past, returning calls and answering queries very quickly. He made the recruitment process simple and straightforward. I would not hesitate to recommend David.

David is a committed and enthusiastic legal recruiter. He takes pride in ensuring that the people he represents are well briefed in advance of interviews and kept up to date throughout the selection process. David’s friendly and professional manner made it a pleasure to work with him.

David was really good to work with and very helpful throughout the whole recruitment process. He kept in touch regularly and was very knowledgeable about the legal market. I would highly recommend David to any candidate seeking a career move.

David has “been there” since my time in Biggart Baillie (now DWF LLP). David understands the ethos of his industry and what makes lawyers, client/ candidate or client/ recruiter, satisfied. Simply put: a leader.

I have found that David is an excellent recruitment professional.  He is responsive, manages expectations well and obviously understands the value of really knowing his clients.  He made a significant effort to understand me, my skills and motivations and was a brilliant sounding board on testing these against the position I had applied for.

Bond Dickinson has worked in partnership with David and Thomson Legal this year on a strategically important project to open our new Edinburgh office. David worked closely with a number of Bond Dickinson Partners and myself to research the various markets, identify individuals, and make approaches in order to facilitate conversations with interested parties. With David’s help we have been able to hire four fantastic new lawyer recruits and we are extremely pleased with the quality of the candidate that David was able to introduce us to. From a personal perspective I have enjoyed working with David – he has a very warm and personable approach, and always makes himself available regardless of how busy he is. David has a strong understanding of the Scottish market and his knowledge and experience, for us, was invaluable during the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for executive search projects.

It was great working with David! He listens to what you want and need in a role. He makes time for you and really seeks out the perfect match!
