Sarah started at DMJ as a researcher in the Private Practice team in September 2021, after achieving a first-class LLB law degree from Leeds University.

Sarah enjoys art (both creating it and viewing it), playing guitar and travelling.

Sarah decided to embark on a career in legal recruitment because it combines her interest in law with the ability to develop strong client relationships.

“We are thrilled that Sarah has joined our Private Practice team. Her positive attitude and legal background will serve her well and I’m excited to watch her career develop?.”

Marc Tobias – Managing Director, DMJ Recruitment

 

This time last year, I was approaching the beginning of my final year at Law school at the University of Leeds and all I could think about was what I would do post-graduation. I found myself at an interesting crossroad. I loved studying law and had developed an interest in business and advising clients, through my vacation scheme with a Magic Circle firm, but I decided at the end of my second year that I was no longer interested in becoming a lawyer. I wanted a career where I could build strong relationships with clients, rather than only advising them on small areas. I knew I wanted to continue working in the legal sphere, but not in a law firm, so I began my career search with this in mind.

I tued my attention to other options that embroiled a commitment to strong client relationships and found myself considering recruitment. I really liked the combination of resilience, interpersonal skills, and the sales aspects that make up this work. I’d developed experience in these areas during my degree, and work as a first-generation Brand Ambassador with a top US firm, and realised that recruitment was an excellent place to apply the skills that I enjoy, and to make a tangible impact.

After deciding on recruitment, I needed to find the right company for me, and that decision was made easy by DMJ. Not only can I apply my legal knowledge here, but the encouragement of shared success and constructive relationships amongst staff really appeals to me. All throughout my interview process I felt extremely comfortable, supported, and valued, and that has only continued since starting here.

In my first few months, I’ll be focusing on building a detailed understanding of the legal market, spring boarded by my degree knowledge. I want to begin employing my skills to develop strong client relationships, and I intend to accomplish this through research, practise, trial and error, and soaking up the knowledge from everyone around me in the office. I am delighted to be joining this team, and to see what the future holds.
