“Chris’ support during the interview process was invaluable and of the highest quality. Chris took the time to get to know me as well as to make sure the role was right for me.

I would highly recommend Chris and Mack legal for all candidates in search of a new role.”

Legal Counsel – M&A, Renewables, February 2022

“Chris was so helpful throughout the whole process of me securing my new role. I had always been interested in working in-house but knew that deciding to make the move from private practice for the first time would always be quite daunting. Chris helped answer any questions that I had and to communicate with the potential employer – also suggesting and helping to arrange informal conversations with the team following the interview stage. Before the interview he assisted me with understanding more about my potential employer and helped with interview preparation which gave me more confidence.Thank you, Chris! I’m excited to start my new job.”

“Claire at Mack Legal helped me navigate the recruitment and interview process, after not having had an interview for some time. Claire was really interested in making sure this was the right role for me, she helped me to work on my confidence in interviews and make sure I was prepared. She guided me through securing the role and worked hard to make sure I got the best terms. Claires support was extremely important and helped me find the confidence to push forward with this great opportunity.”

“As a candidate I have never felt more informed and kept up to date by a recruiter. Mack Legal and Chris constantly and deeply informed me about the nature of the position and about developments in the recruitment process. Being from a Latam country, I was also quite impressed about his knowledge of the local market.

From my experience as a candidate, I would highly recommend Mack Legal for both companies looking for recruitment services (even worldwide) as well as for candidates in search of new challenges.”

“I approached Mack Legal to help Affinity Water source a new Director for our Legal department.  They were one of 3 companies approached for the role and the eventual agency chosen to help us source this position.  From the outset, it was clear that Claire and the team had a solid understanding of the legal sector.  They were able to not only source great candidates but offer us advice on the organisational design for the position and team.  Our initial thought was to recruit a Legal Director but their advice amended that to a General Counsel and Company Secretary – which was more fitting to our requirements.

Mack legal were then very flexible with the payment structure for the retained assignment and agreed to the timescales we wished to work towards.  Claire and the team then delivered the longlist, shortlist, interviews and successful candidate very quickly end efficiently.

In addition, during this search we also asked Mack to source us a very specialist Regulatory Lawyer on a contingency basis.  Knowing this was a very specific skill, we expected the successful appointment to take some time but it was delivered at very quick turnaround with an extremely suitable candidate.

I am glad to have found Mack Legal and will happily use their services again, when required.”

Affinity Water, Head of Talent Acquisition, April 2020

“I called upon Mack legal again after working with them in my previous companies.  Once again it was good to work with Chris and his team to source our recent UK legal counsel.  Professional team who found some excellent candidates for us to interview and select from. Thank you one and all.”

Fasthosts Internet Ltd, HR Business Partner – May 2020

“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Claire.  She is a trusted person in my network and she recently approached me about a unique General Counsel / Company Secretarial opportunity.  Having taken the time to get to know me, Claire understands my aspirations and motivations, and she has matched me up with a company where there is an excellent personal and cultural fit.  Claire is an absolute pleasure to work with, has provided excellent support throughout the hiring process and I particularly enjoy her great sense of humour. I would warmly recommend her to other General Counsel’s looking for support with their career.”

General Counsel / Company Secretary January 2020

“Mack Legal approached me in June 2019 knowing that I was looking to develop a new global in-house legal team. Having engaged a national legal recruiter (who had relied on advertising and their database) who were not getting results, it has been very refreshing to work with Chris at Mack Legal. Mack Legal took a very different approach, fully mapping the market and headhunting to find us the best legal talent both in the UK and internationally.

Chris remained our one point of contact globally, helping us to select and appoint our first Head of Legal for APAC, Senior Legal Counsel Spain / LATAM and, in the UK, two senior EPC / Construction Lawyers and an experienced Commercial Lawyer. I have been thoroughly impressed with Chris’ proactive approach, the quality of the shortlist on all occasions and the depth of market penetration he has achieved. He has also advised on salaries across multi jurisdictions, ensuring that we are competitive.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris and the team at Mack Legal for their in-depth market knowledge of the global legal renewables market. As a testament to this, for the last four appointments we have worked exclusively with Mack Legal.”
