What our Candidates and Clients say about us
"Rob was extremely helpful in what turned out to be the best move of my career. At the time I was quite sceptical that a move made sense, however Rob’s calm persistence resulted in my considering what, at the time, was rather an unconventional option. At the time, and for the next 8 and a half years, it was an extraordinary ride. Rob was never pushy and genuinely wanted the best for me."

"When Rob first got in contact with me I wasn’t particularly interested in making a move. His powers of persuasion were very impressive and I decided to open talks with my current firm. Rob knew my new firm extremely well and was able to guide me proactively through an intense hiring process. He provided me with his analytical thoughts at all times of the day and night. His help proved critical to my decision making. Eight years on, I am happy to say that it’s turned out to be a wonderful move. I highly recommend Rob if you’re a partner who is considering making a move."
