Testimonials

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.

I have worked with Guy recently on two high level projects and have found him to be the consummate professional. On both occasions, he put the time into really getting to know from us what we were looking for. This meant his search was focused and tailored to our needs, which saved greatly on our time and effort. The results were fast, excellent and extremely fruitful, both on the staffing side, for a Director of Clerking, and on the Members’ side. He is a delight to work with, very genuine in his approach, accessible and tactful at all times. Above all, he is scrupulously honest and his candour was always very welcome, engendering a rare level of trust both in the searcher and in potential recruits. He is quite simply way up there, in a league of his own and I have no difficulty in recommending him to others looking for true professionalism.

We have used Guy’s services on several occasions to facilitate the recruitment of new barristers. He is highly responsive , professional and extremely sensitive to both the needs of the set and the individual recruit in question. He is someone who genuinely cares that whoever he recruits is placed in a set that is best suited to their talents and personality. He has an excellent understanding of the changing needs of the Bar. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

I have known Tony for over 20 year’s following our time at the Bar. I specifically hired him to work on a number of bespoke projects. Due to the nature of our work, confidentiality is always key to the work we do and because of this, the briefs we sent him were very strategic and specific. Tony went to market using his knowledge and large network. He was able to quickly present us with some outstanding candidates. Personality and fit were absolutely essential as we were a new business starting out. Being authentic is very important to me and his attention to detail coupled with his speed in response and also his advice, gave me the trust and confidence to build my outstanding team.

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.

I have worked with Tony for a number of years; during this time he has been responsible for introducing a number of excellent new members to our clerking and administrative teams.

Tony communicates clearly and is always on top of our assignments. He knows his market well and I know that I can rely on him for my recruitment needs.

I have worked with Tony for a number of years. He is both trustworthy and authentic in his approach. Due to his previous Chambers' experience, he understands what's needed when it comes to finding a good clerk to support my team. He is my first point of contact when hiring because of his quality service, fast response time and attention to detail.

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 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.

Guy Hewetson used his considerable experience with perception and sensitivity in assisting us to restructure our senior management and clerking to meet the challenges and opportunities of the modern Bar. We are delighted with the results achieved.

Tony knows the market and understands what makes a lawyer tick. He is personable, authentic and always adds value.

Excellent level of service and quality of candidate provided. The leaders in their field for recruitment both for the Bar and Practice Management in Chambers.
