I have dealt with Aaron over many years and have always found him to be extremely helpful and he is willing to go the extra mile for his clients. His attention to detail in terms of ensuring the best fit between lawyer and firm, preparation for interview and trying to achieve a successful outcome cannot be faulted. With Aaron’s assistance what is usually a stressful process was made much easier and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I cannot recommend highly enough the services of Aaron Balfour.  He is a terrific recruiter with an in-depth knowledge of the market derived from years of experience in the industry and as a solicitor.  He is incredibly proactive and his contacts include everything from magic circle and top U.S. and mid-Atlantic firms, to silver circle and beyond. He makes you feel like his only client and really takes the time to understand your objectives and how best to achieve them.  Personable and down to earth, you are in safe hands with him.
