Testimonials

I was thinking about a lateral move as a Silk.

I was introduced to Guy by a mutual friend, who is also a Silk.

Guy was super efficient, highly commercial and discrete.

We talked through many issues in detail and he came up with a first class commercial plan for a lateral move which had significant win/win for me and my new chambers.

The mutual fit could not be more perfect.

If you are thinking of moving – speak to Guy and Tony. Excellent and first class in every respect!

When considering a chambers move with my team, I met with all the major players in the industry. Guy and Tony were our clear preferred choice.

They were authentic in their approach, challenged us when they felt it necessary and ultimately delivered a seamless service. Most importantly they showed complete discretion, which was for us the most important criteria.

Their reputation for being leaders in their field is well deserved and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

As a chambers we’ve worked with Tony on a number of different projects. One consistent aspect and benefit of his approach ‎is the ability to go above and beyond what we’ve contracted him to do. His professional approach is matched by integrity, and a user-friendly demeanour which is always appreciated. His consistency, attention to detail and proactive nature sets him apart. He is a pleasure to deal with and we would not hesitate in recommending him. He provides a professional and effortless level of support, leaving no stone unturned.

I was really grateful for the incredible support I received from Guy Hewetson and Tony Stephenson from the very beginning of the recruitment process in which I was ultimately successful.

They both took the time to understand my career and personal life goals and provided me with the personalised advice that I needed to prepare me for a job change after many happy years in my previous role.

Their service went above and beyond, offering guidance at every step with my CV and ensuring I was well-prepared for interviews.

Even after I secured the role, they have continued to offer helpful after-care, checking in to make sure everything is going smoothly.

I truly appreciate their professionalism, dedication, and care throughout the entire process.

I highly recommend Hewetson and Co to anyone looking for exceptional recruitment support.

Instructing Guy and Tony was the best investment I have ever made. Their market knowledge, commercial acumen and exceptional client care meant that I was able to transition seamlessly from the Employed Bar to the Independent Bar.

Hewetson & Co has without a doubt earned their reputation as the leaders in their field.

Guy is fantastic. He understands the Bar, its nuances and the players very well, so is able to give excellent, informed advice. He's also very responsive and easy to work with. As a result, he takes much of the stress out of the process. Highly recommended.

I have known Guy for more than 25 years and have used him and his firm regularly to recruit both barristers and practice management staff.

He and Tony understand the huge importance of cultural fit and are always alive to the need to send us candidates in both fields who will clearly complement our existing teams.

They both have an attention to detail, quick communication and a speed with producing candidates that consistently exceeds our expectations which leads to a level of confidence that is essential in a competitive market.

I have no hesitation in recommending Guy and Tony to any legal services business wanting to find and recruit the best candidates

When I was looking to move Chambers Guy and Tony were the only people worth speaking to.

They have industry leading knowledge and an enviable web of connections allowing them to open doors, and begin conversations, that others simply cannot do.

They also offer an unparalleled combination of expertise which complement their respective offerings: Tony adding his knowledge of the inner workings of a barristers’ chambers to Guy’s inimitable advice, enthusiasm and flair for colour.

Above all else, I truly felt - and still feel - that both Guy and Tony had my best interests at heart; they were not simply trying to push me in the direction of a set which would not add anything to my career or move it on, but instead they assisted me in making targeted approaches to sets which complimented my experience and which could help me grow further.

I would, without hesitation, recommend anyone who is looking to make a move to speak to Guy and Tony. They are able to turn what is otherwise a daunting task into a streamlined and natural process.

Above all else, they are both genuine, warm hearted individuals who are a pleasure to work with.

Guy and Tony handled my chambers move with the sensitivity and tact that comes from their years of experience as market leaders in their field.

I was very well advised throughout the process and felt supported at all times. I would not hesitate to commend them to others.

Due to a sustained increase in client instructions and a desire to retain all our new work enquiries, we approached Hewetson & Co to assist with our strategic growth plans.

We had not worked with head-hunters before and I am happy to confirm what a refreshing experience it has been. It became extremely apparent from our first meeting with Guy and Tony why they are renowned for being the exemplary leaders in their field.

Guy and Tony are the consummate professionals, guiding us with such detailed insight and scrupulous honesty, at times where it was to the detriment of potential financial gains to them. This quickly instilled a deep level of trust.

We are delighted with the successful results from working with Hewetson & Co which includes a new silk for chambers and several new members.

Guy and Tony are truly exceptional to work with and we are delighted with the impact they have made to our chambers.

When placing me from the Bar into private practice, Guy and Tony stood out from other recruiters owing to the personal level of service they provided.

They both took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for, and then kept me updated every step of the way.

Their diverse network of contacts between them meant they were able to secure me an interview with my target firm very quickly and provide insightful advice in preparation for interview.

I would highly recommend them, particularly to self-employed barristers looking to move either laterally or into private practice.

Their specialist knowledge about the Bar and their vast experience between them makes them uniquely placed to secure candidates the very best roles available.

As a candidate I found Guy hugely supportive, instructive and thorough. Guy was very generous and flexible with his time throughout the process from initial inquiry through to offer.

In terms of advice and guidance, having worked with a number of Headhunters and Recruitment Agencies throughout my career, I found Guy’s guidance really insightful and beneficial and therefore I would highly recommend Guy to both employers and prospective employees for his person centred approach and exceptional service delivery.
