Testimonials

I can strongly recommend David for his knowledge of the legal market and his ability to match opportunities with candidates. He’s a really good guy to get on with and takes time to listen to his candidates and clients so that he is putting the most suitable people forward for roles. I would definitely use David to source legal candidates for me in the future.

Ricky McCrackenCommercial & Legal Director, Pulsant

Having worked with David when recruiting a Legal & Commercial Director position, I would not hesitate to recommend David and would be keen to work with him on any future vacancies. David ensured all candidates presented were of a high calibre and was extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly and kept me fully informed throughout.

April ClarkHR DirectorPulsant

I worked with David on finding my last role and found him to be responsive, personable, and upfront in his dealings with me. David is clearly excellent at his job and dealing with him was a pleasure. I would recommend any prospective job seeker to contact David to discuss options.

Eoin KealySenior AssociateMathesonDublin

I would recommend David to any solicitor or legal professional for a number of reasons but the excellent support he provides throughout the application process is by far the best reason for me. Although I was looking for quite a specific role, I found David to be very helpful, informative and above all available when it came to the job market at any given time in multiple jurisdictions. I have only used Thomson Legal for a few months however, I have been successful in obtaining my ideal position and its is down to David’s knowledge of the Scottish (and international) legal markets that I am in the position I am today. I have thanked him personally for all of his help and I would recommend any to legal professional, the services on offer at Thomson Legal.

Graham GibsonData Protection ManagerClydesdale & Yorkshire Bank

David provided an excellent service during my recent job search. He listened to my objectives and kept in regular contact throughout the process. He really went the extra mile and I would highly recommend him.

Ferga McKayAssociateDWF LLP

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.

Elena McLachlanIn-House SolicitorThe Institute & Faculty of Actuaries

I contacted David when I was back in the UK after a years career break. I was a bit out of touch with the market and keen to make the move in-house. David provided me with excellent advice on the job market, the role of an in-house lawyer, and interviews. As I had been away from the corporate environment for a year, his balanced advice and encouragement was invaluable to me. David found me some excellent options, and ultimately the job I was looking for. I would recommend David to anyone who is looking for a career move.

Rachael CookeLegal Counsel Hymans Robertson

David was a tremendous help throughout the recruitment process. On a practical level he provided relevant, market focused advice to assist in the application and interview processes. His approachability, from start to finish, is something I am particularly keen to recognise. I would certainly recommend his services to someone looking to make a move or, perhaps more importantly, decide whether they want to.

Gerard GardinerSenior Associate, Competition Dentons UK & Middle East LLP

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.

Sarah RogersRecruitment ManagerWomble Bond Dickinson LLP

The world of legal recruiters can be a bit of a lottery. I despair when the headhunters call and have not even bothered to look at your CV. This is not David’s style. He takes the time to get to know his client and will not post your CV for the sake of it.
