Office Manager, Dubai

Laura placed me in my first legal role over 12 years ago at a large global reputable law firm. Laura is reliable, trustworthy and will work with you to find your ideal role. Laura has placed me in 2 subsequent legal roles and I highly recommend Laura to all professional legal staff either seeking a new opportunity or just wanting a chat about the legal market and exploring their options

Senior Lawyer, Sydney

Laura is a true professional and offers an outstanding service to her clients. Her attention to detail is meticulous, but what makes Laura stand head and shoulders above her competitors is the personal touch she puts into each and every assignment. Laura takes the time to know her client, is approachable and totally reliable and screens her candidates not only for their qualifications and experience, but to ensure that each candidate is the right fit for the organisation they will work with.
Laura's commitment does not end after a successful placement. She follows through and maintains contact with both the client and the candidate. The nature of my work brings me into contact with many of Laura's clients and her reputation is irrefutable. I shall most certainly continue to use Laura's excellent service in the future and have no hesitation in recommending her to others.

Regional Office Manager, Dubai

I was placed by Laura in a firm in Abu Dhabi after a move from Australia. She not only found a great role, that was a great fit for both me and the employer, but she also went above and beyond to put me in touch with other ex-pats in the area. Arranging both my work and social life, I couldn't have asked for more! Many thanks again Laura.

Lawyer, Abu Dhabi

I first contacted Laura when moving to London in 2006 after receiving a recommendation from a colleague. Laura was able to connect me to her colleagues in London as well as a number of excellent opportunities during my working holiday. Since our first contact, Laura has helped me to find a number of placements in both London and Australia. Laura is great to deal with - she knows the areas she works in well and have great contacts as well as being friendly and personable. Having dealt with a number of recruiters in the past, I particularly appreciate the almost unique fact that Laura is honest about whether or not a role would be a suitable fit for me - even if it means that she is unable to place me. I would highly recommend Laura - particularly to anyone who is looking to make the move overseas.
