“Norah really invested in me - she listened and understood whilst appropriately challenging me throughout the process. Norah was patient as she knew that I really wanted to get the decision for this move absolutely right. And she helped me find that perfect position because she has so much fantastic experience. Not only is Norah fabulous at her job but she is also now a friend for life!”

Candidate

“Norah is undoubtedly someone who helped me change my career and my life for the better! She is supportive, patient, and understanding, but also helps you see and realise your own value. Norah is an incredible person, and I feel very lucky to have her in my life!”

Candidate

“Norah has taken the time to understand our firm and culture and because of her extensive network and excellent judgement has been successful in recently placing a Partner with us.  Norah’s personal style, professionalism and integrity sets her apart. We are looking forward to working with her again.”

Law firm client

“I first met Norah when I was at rock bottom, professionally. From day one, I felt that she was on my side. My fight was her fight. She has such empathy and genuinely cares about her clients. She gave me so much of her time, it felt like I was her only client (I wasn’t). At all times counsellor, sympathetic ear and shoulder to cry on, cheerleader and visionary, Norah worked her extensive network tirelessly to help me decide on my next move and she didn’t stop until I found it.”

Candidate

“Norah is a fierce and fearless champion of women in the law and her (free!) Female Counsel events have broadened my network and provided valuable professional and coaching insights. She is a fabulous person and I am lucky to think of her as not just a recruitment consultant, but a friend.”

Candidate

“Norah has guided me every step of the way and was happy to be patient when I was unsure and to push me when I needed pushing. She has ultimately helped me realise a role that I didn’t think was attainable by helping me see my true value.”

Candidate

“With Norah’s help I now feel confident that I can rise to the challenge of my new position and I couldn’t be more excited for the next phase of my career. ”

Candidate

“As anyone who has moved firms as a partner will know, it is not something you undertake lightly, and it is certainly not for the faint hearted. Norah understood this and, unlike most recruiters I have come across, Norah took the time to meet me in person to get to know me and what I was looking for.”

Candidate

“I have had the pleasure of working with Norah for many years and throughout various stages of my own career. Her ability to combine professionalism with such a deeply personal approach is truly admirable and I feel confident that I can always trust in her sound judgement. It is easy to see why Norah attracts such an incredibly high quality of candidates. I look forward to many more years of working together. ”

Law firm client

“You have been completely wonderful throughout this process. From the initial brainstorming, to the lengthy interview process, to the tricky decision making and never ending notice period. You have been an amazing support - very knowledgeable and well connected. You are also so empathetic and understanding”

Candidate

“When I talk about you as a recruiter, it feels like the term completely undersells you. You’ve been an agony aunt, a ray of sunshine and a voice of reason. Most importantly for me, I’ve been able to be 100% open with you about being a single mother and a corporate partner”

Candidate

“Norah is unlike most other recruitment consultants. She is extremely knowledgeable and completely trustworthy! A change of firm is a big decision and you want to have someone advising you who truly has your very best interests at heart. The fact that she specialises in female hires is a bonus. She champions talented women - what’s not to like about that?!”

Candidate

“Norah is an excellent recruiter who offers the perfect level of expertise and communication. When you work with Norah you know you are getting an honest and reliable service and can be confident that she is trying to find the perfect match for the candidate and the firm.”

Law firm client

“I worked with Norah around the time of my recent move. I had been with my firm for almost 20 years so it was a very difficult decision to make. Norah was instrumental in helping me to reach the decision. I believe that the motivators for women contemplating making a move can be very different to those for a male partner. Norah was very sensitive to this and to my concerns. She understood things from my perspective.”

“Norah provides a personal touch to recruitment which she achieves in her commitment in getting to know you and understanding your key drivers. She has an excellent insight into the obstacles faced by female partners in the legal market and she gave me invaluable guidance throughout the recruitment process.”

“Norah helped to make a full on, time consuming process manageable coupled with a good sense of humour”

“Norah took the time and trouble to understand me as a person and then provide invaluable insight into firms and likely fit. A calm, patient and positive person to have in your corner. Someone who cares enough to want to ensure you make the right decisions.”

“Managing the partner recruitment process can be challenging. There are often tough decisions to be made which, without expert advice and support, can lead to a time of uncertainty for laterals. Working together with an agent such as Norah, who has the experience and empathy to help identify these issues, overcome challenges and work collaboratively with clients, is a key factor in ensuring success for my firm's recruitment strategy.”

“I would highly recommend Norah to all ambitious lawyers at any stage in their career, especially those at a very senior level.”

“Norah is a first class professional. She has great integrity. I trusted her fully from the moment I met her and the result she has achieved for me has exceeded my expectations.”

‘The difference with Norah is she not only understands the market but also has deep insight into the experience of female lawyers within it. She is more than a recruiter. She is a mentor, coach, facilitator and advocate for female partners’
