Testimonials

"Andy Wintle provided me with a tailored, responsive and thoroughly professional service from the start. Unlike the many 'cowboy-recruiters' I came across during my job search, Andy took the time to understand my specific needs and quickly earned my trust. He knows the legal recruitment market well and worked diligently to find the right role for me. Andy will be my first port of call if I ever find myself in the same position in the future."

Magic Circle Lawyer into City firm




"I have used Andy Wintle at First Counsel during my last two moves. Firstly into a fee-earning role and subsequently into my current role as a PSL. On both occasions I was very impressed by the diligence and openness with which he handled my search. He gave me a range of options, highlighted the "Cons" as well as the "Pros" and gave me detailed information on each role as I went through the process. The service I received was really comprehensive and I felt that Andy had a deep understanding of his market."
