About Me

Qualified Solicitor | Family Law Specialist | Legal Recruitment Expert

Marc's journey into legal recruitment wasn't planned—it was earned. After qualifying as a solicitor in 2008 and building a successful practice in Family Law, Marc discovered his true calling: helping other legal professionals navigate their careers while supporting law firms in building exceptional teams.

This dual perspective—understanding the pressures of private practice alongside the strategic needs of growing firms—gives One Legal Recruitment a distinct advantage. Marc doesn't just match CVs to job descriptions; he understands the unspoken elements that make a placement truly successful: firm culture, practice dynamics, career trajectories, and the nuanced expectations on both sides.

Nearly a decade in legal recruitment has allowed Marc to build a network that spans continents and practice areas. But more importantly, it's allowed him to develop an intuitive understanding of what candidates truly seek and what firms genuinely need—often things neither party explicitly articulates.
