I instructed Karen on a search for a senior lawyer to set up and lead the legal function in the new global body for tennis integrity. This was a niche global search with tight deadlines which required expert knowledge of the marketplace and a keen sense of how to access the right legal talent. Karen and Marsden came highly recommended. She and her team presented an excellent, diverse and qualified long list and then managed the process through to the successful hire of the best candidate. I really enjoyed working with Karen and would recommend her to anyone seeking to make a senior legal hire.

I have worked with Karen over a number of years and the key skill she has as a recruiter is a desire and a capability to understand the brief and translate that into producing meaningful shortlists and advice on candidates. This is, in my experience, a skill that all recruiters and headhunters claim, but few can deliver on; Karen does so in spades. She is a pleasure to work with and endlessly enthusiastic, which is of course a huge bonus.

Marsden, and Karen Glass in particular, came highly recommended by a former colleague. From the very first conversation, to our chosen candidate accepting, it could not have been a better process. It was clear from the get-go that Marsden had a deep network of general counsels and real insight into what it takes to be successful in an organisation like ours. We were really impressed by the long list; Karen worked with us to get to an excellent short list, supported us through the interview process and steered us through our chosen candidate accepting our offer. We could not have asked for better support.
