About

"I create opportunities for lawyers." That’s my go-to line when people ask what I do. Over a decade ago, I pivoted from lawyering at a big firm to be a recruiter. As a former lawyer, I’m not here to simply fill positions—I’m here to build futures. By leveraging my legal expertise and network, I connect top talent with opportunities that truly matter. In 2016, I founded 𝐀𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥, a purpose-driven Legal & Compliance Search firm where we don’t just recruit—we partner with clients to build high-performing teams. Our mission? Transform work culture, one conversation at a time. Our track record speaks for itself: 🥇 Gold Award - Local Hero - 2022 🥇 Gold Award - Most Innovative Agency - 2020 🎖️ Silver Award - Best Executive Search Firm - 2022 🎖️ Silver Award - Leader of the Year - 2022 🏅 Best Specialist Recruitment Firm – Legal, Compliance Risk - 2020, 2019 🏅 Recruiter of the Year - 2020 But awards aren’t the endgame—they’re proof of the real work we do every day. I’m passionate about sharing my journey and insights, which is why I write daily no-nonsense posts on culture and career insights. It’s also why I launched the podcast 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫, where I connect with lawyers from all walks of life. My mission is to humanize the legal profession and challenge the status quo, one episode at a time. If you’re ready to dive into the legal market or discuss how to transform your work culture, let’s connect. Drop me a message or email me at [email protected]. Let’s create opportunities and cut through the noise. Together, we can spark real change.
