I was looking for an experienced Costs Draftsman to join the team, so I contacted Clayton Legal. Matt understood my needs very quickly and was able to match up a candidate who he saw would fit in, not only in terms of experience but also in personality. Matt has an understanding of the Costs profession and the needs of the employer, which is vital to put across suitable candidates, and therefore, I would recommend him to others.

I required assistance with the recruitment of a Costs Draftsman and the role was heavily time pressured. Matt was very quick with responses and all feedback was clearly communicated.
Clayton Legal have been excellent in supporting our recruitment needs for quite a few years now and they have never failed to deliver professional advice and assistance.
