Testimonials

I found David Thomson to be excellent during my search for a role upon qualification. I would highly recommend David to anybody seeking further opportunities. Particularly Irish lawyers based abroad seeking a return to home shores. David’s market knowledge and ability to offer practical and reliable advice was highly helpful during what can be a stressful time. Furthermore, David really goes the extra mile by staying in touch at the conclusion of the process ensuring that the move and the new role are both working out. Great to deal with.

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.

David recently helped me to secure a fantastic new role, and his advice and support were invaluable throughout the recruitment process. He has a thorough knowledge of the legal recruitment market, and I felt that he really made the effort to keep me up to date on progress. On a personal level, he put me at ease from our first meeting.

I had the opportunity to work with David whilst making a recent career move from trainee solicitor into a newly qualified position. David understood immediately what both my short term and long term objectives were and gave incredibly useful advice on the direction I should take to achieve those aims. David never tried to advocate positions out of convenience, and didn’t force me to pursue or consider roles that I wasn’t genuinely interested in. I was impressed that David really listened to what I was saying. This meant that only relevant opportunities were sent my way and I wasn’t inundated with irrelevant vacancies which can be frustrating. David was diligent throughout every stage in the recruitment process ensuring I had enough information to make the right decision at what is a daunting time in any legal career. The whole process was incredibly smooth and I really felt that I always had support and someone fighting my corner at all times! This helped to take the pressure off me and make everything easier. This coupled with the fact I found David very easy to talk to made everything less scary. David always made himself available to answer emails, calls and to chat things through. This flexibility was much appreciated as it meant I could have meaningful discussions out with office hours. I have no hesitation in recommending Thomson Legal Recruitment.

Aimee DoranSolicitor, Dentons LLP

David has excellent contacts at the top tier firms and ultimately managed to place me at Brodies LLP. He made himself available around the clock, even whilst on holiday, and constantly keeps in touch. Highly recommended!

David provided an invaluable service during my recent job hunt and was instrumental in helping me secure a move to progress my career. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a change of job.

Jennifer WrightSolicitor, DWF LLP

I can’t recommend David highly enough. He has excellent knowledge of the legal industry and provided me with invaluable support prior to both of my interviews. David was very proactive and kept me fully updated throughout the process, in addition to ensuring I had settled in well once I had secured the position which I really appreciated.

Leanne HammellCommercial Solicitor, Pinsent Masons LLP

David was excellent to deal with and took all the stress out of the process; from the point of application right through to day one in the new role. He was in regular communication, was knowledgeable and proactive and did everything with speed and ease.

Ruth BouttellIn-House Legal Counsel, Caledonian Sleeper

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 was nothing short of brilliant. The current climate is an unsettling time for everyone and when you are looking for your next role, even more so. It was great to have someone that was so switched-on and able to think outside of the box. Communication is key for me and I really found that David kept me in the loop and had a real knack for matching candidate with client. I was looking for a move away from my current practice area and secured my first in-house role. Great result David!
