Lawson Brown: Information for Candidates.

We all know a lawyer who has had a bad experience with a recruitment consultant. The consultant has promised the earth and delivered nothing, and then gone to ground and never taken their call again! It happens, but it shouldn't. At Lawson Brown Legal, it won't happen and here's why:

  • We will always give you honest and impartial advice about your options in the marketplace and how best to achieve your goals.
  • We will be frank with you as to whether we can help you to achieve your immediate goals - we will not promise something that we cannot deliver.
  • If you are more likely to succeed in your immediate aims by contacting firms direct, rather than through an agent, we will tell you, and try to point you in the right direction where possible. We'd like you to come back to us later in your career as a candidate, or perhaps as a client.
  • We are very happy to have a structured discussion with you about your aims and how we could help you to achieve them before you decide to send your CV and instruct us in relation to your search.
  • We will discuss and agree with you a clear recruitment strategy tailored to your aims.
  • We have extensive CV-drafting skills and we are happy to help you put together a clear, well-drafted CV. Click here for general CV drafting advice.
  • We will not release your details to any client without your clear prior authority.
  • We will provide in-depth advice on how best to present yourself at interview, based on our knowledge of the client, the opportunity, your goals and your strengths. Click here for general interview preparation advice.
  • We will provide honest feedback as soon as we receive it, good or bad.
  • We will give you constructive and impartial advice on offers that you receive and negotiate competently on your behalf to obtain the package that you deserve.
  • We will not steer you automatically in the direction of the highest offer but instead help you to come to a fully informed decision which is right for you and your career.
  • We will guide you through the resignation process and prepare you for any likely obstacles.
  • We will at all times conduct our business ethically and with integrity.
