Graham Tinning

Senior Consultant

Back to top

Graham arrived in London from the Northeast to study Geology and subsequently made the logical career step to join a City Law firm! He followed this in 1983 by moving into legal recruitment.

He has valuable experience with some of the pioneers and biggest names of the past and present legal market and his remit includes (but is not restricted to) secretarial and support recruitment. Subsequent studies (Information Studies and Management) have also left him well placed for handling Legal IT recruitment assignments. (There are still relevant departments founded by Graham at two former consultancies with which he worked).

Graham currently acts for law firms ranging from the largest in the world through the national, to some extremely small niche practices providing the same quality service to all. His approach to candidates is characteristically pragmatic and constructive, aiming to allow job hunters to make informed and intelligent choices regarding their career move.
