Sally Gardner

Director

Working with private practice clients, Sally helps lawyers at all levels – from partners to the newly qualified – make their next career move. Sally has an international portfolio of clients and recruits into London, mainland Europe, Turkey, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Australia.

 

Over her career Sally has built lasting, long-term relationships with candidates and clients. People regularly return to her for career advice and support with recruitment issues. She has first hand experience of international markets having worked in London, Hong Kong and Vietnam and offers candidates insights into cultural differences and the practicalities and realities of moving internationally as a lawyer.

 

Sally has over 20 years’ experience in recruitment. This includes establishing the Hong Kong legal division at another leading legal recruitment firm. She started her working life as a litigator in what is now Squire Patton Boggs.

  • Sally was wonderful to work with. She understood what I was looking for and went to great lengths to make sure my application was being seen by the right people in the right timeframes.

    Disputes & Investigations Associate, Magic Circle Firm

  • Sally helped me look for an NQ position at the end of my training contract and she was incredibly helpful. She has great market knowledge and reach, is highly responsive, trustworthy and provided invaluable help when it came to preparing for interviews. On a human/inter-personal level, Sally stands out from other recruiters. She took the time to understand my position, background, goals and motivation at the outset, and I felt she was genuinely keen to help me find a position that was right for me. Sally's sense of humour was also a lovely addition to what can otherwise be quite a daunting process. I would highly recommend her.

    Commercial Property Associate, UK Firm

  • Sally was tremendously helpful while I was looking for positions in London. She always made herself available to guide me, answer my many queries and took the time to understand my requirements and career motivations. She has great market knowledge, always gave practical advice and went to great lengths to ensure that my application reached the right people. I would highly recommend her.

    Energy & Infrastructure Partner

  • Marsden offers something quite unique; a personal service and a truly global footprint. They invested time at the outset to get to know me and understand my experience. They listened to my goals and suggested several paths to achieve them. They were equally as happy to not put me forward for opportunities they thought were not suitable as they were working proactively and tirelessly on those that were. With Jonathan in London and Sally in Asia they were able to offer a round the clock service; from coffee and croissant breakfast meetings to midnight interview preparation calls to 6am good luck texts. Despite the tough economic climate Marsden delivered exactly what I wanted and they promised: relocation from London to Singapore and an opportunity to work for a top tier international firm. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    Silver Circle Corporate Lawyer, Singapore

  • Sally and her team delivered a friendly, attentive as well as effective service in helping me land this job. Sally is professional and trustworthy and I would recommend her services without hesitation.
