VIEW ALL TESTIMONIALS

"Jon was invaluable in helping me to secure a new role in a very niche, highly competitive sector. In doing so, Jon was very supportive, helpful and attentive. I would therefore recommend JPL highly."
Director, Legal, Hedge Fund
"JPL's knowledge of the market and of the partners within firms was extremely impressive in comparison to other recruiters with whom I worked. He is very personable and comes across as authoritative and persuasive. Jon is certainly someone in whose advice I had complete confidence and whom I could trust to best promote me with highly sophisticated potential employers."
Deputy Legal Director, International Corporation
"I found Jon to be proactive in helping me find my ideal role - his knowledge of the industry was fundamental in him identifying the best position for me. He understood the type of work I do and this gave me real confidence in him. He was supportive and pleasant to work with as well as being contactable and responsive. He really did make me feel like he was keen to find me a solution that suited me and the firm he placed me with - and 6 months later I'm settled in and enjoying my job. I would highly recommend him."
Director, Regulatory, Compliance and Investigations, FTSE 100 Business
"Jon recently placed me into an in-house litigation role within a large corporate. His advice and guidance throughout the recruitment process was extremely helpful. He was very responsive and focussed on understanding what I was looking for in terms of my move in-house. I'd certainly recommend his services."
Regional General Counsel & Head of Legal, Industry Conglomerate
"Jon initially contacted me to discuss the possibility of a new role at a large company. Even though I was not looking for a career change and it took me some time to make up my mind, I found Jon to be very competent and responsive without being pushy. His detailed guidance in navigating me through the recruitment process was essential in helping me secure the position. Jon is a trustworthy professional and I highly recommend his services."
Vice President, Legal, Major Bank
"Jon is both patient and tenacious (yes, the mix is possible) managing to stay the course in a long recruitment project whilst remaining energised and focused, nudging it along where he can. Won't let it fade off radars and always looking for new leads or intelligence along the way."
Partner and Head of Financial Services Industry Group, Global Law Firm
"Jon placed me in my current role. He was very professional, courteous and helpful throughout the process and I would be delighted to work with him again."
Chief Investment Officer, Third-Party Litigation Fund
"Jon is one of only two people that I would trust with my own career and the recruitment of team members. He is a true specialist with a deep understanding of the market for litigation and contentious regulatory. His advice has been invaluable to me over a number of years. His candidates always match up to the brief and even where they are not an obvious fit, Jon always has a sensible justification for proposing them. I also trust him completely - not something I would say of many recruitment professionals."
Partner and Head of Compliance & Investigations, Global Law Firm
"We can recommend Jon highly. He understands the requirements of the business very quickly and he is highly resourceful in sourcing top quality candidates. First rate."
Business Founder & Former Chief Executive, FTSE 250 Business
"I would highly recommend Jon from the perspective of a candidate. He appears to understand the white collar crime market in a way few of his peers do."
Financial Crime Partner, International Law Firm
“Jon is a real professional in the field of legal recruitment. He understands what we need and brings high quality candidates. He also helps throughout the process. Highly recommended.”
Partner and Chair of the European Competition and Antitrust Litigation Practice, Major US Law Firm
