Overview of Laura
My career in recruitment began at Sellick Partnership when I joined as a Resourcing Consultant back in 2011. From then, I was promoted numerous times before becoming Associate Director of the Legal Division in 2019.
In October 2021, a decade after embarking on my journey with Sellick Partnership, I was promoted to the Board of Directors where I now assist with strategic, commercial decisions regarding the company’s future, as well as continuing to support the legal recruitment teams and our dedicated in-house legal compliance team.
I have won many company awards over the years, including: Highest Biller, Highest Billing Team and Sales Manager of the Year. More recently, I was awarded the Geoff Crichton Award which recognises my outstanding contribution to Sellick Partnership.
My team specialise in the provision of locum, temporary, contract and permanent legal professionals within the public, higher education, in-house and not-for-profit sectors. They cover numerous areas of law, including but not limited to: childcare, adult social care, contracts, property, housing, education, employment, planning, litigation and prosecutions.
I am also the Board sponsor for Sellick Partnership’s Charity Champions, something I am incredibly passionate about and proud to be a part of! I believe it is so important to contribute within your community if you can, and making this accessible for our Sellick Partnership employees is a priority for me.
Outside of work I can most likely be found walking my dogs, on the netball court or if I am lucky scuba diving!

Latest Jobs
Laura could not have been more helpful in finding a placement for me, leading to me eventually securing a permanent paralegal position. Within two days from my first conversation with Laura, I had an interview with the hiring organisation and was offered the 3 month placement. Laura was able to arrange a highly competitive salary for me and kept me well informed right up until the first day of my employment. Additionally, she took the time to contact me when the COVID-19 pandemic hit to ensure I was well and that the necessary safety steps were being taken by the hiring organisation. I would highly recommend using Sellick Partnership when seeking employment in the legal sector, in particular Laura as she was very friendly, approachable and prompt in replying to any email or query I had.
Laura is a very knowledgeable and customer-focussed professional who goes above and beyond for her clients whenever possible. She responds quickly and appropriately to customer demands and applies her wealth of experience in the HE sector to assist universities up and down the country to fill gaps in the workforce within their legal and research contracts functions. The consultants that I have had the benefit of working with, as supplied by Laura have always spoken highly of her and her support of them during their placements. In short, I would highly recommend Laura’s services to anyone struggling to recruit in a competitive and fast-changing market.
Laura is a great person to work with. She excels in finding good matches by getting to know you and her contacts of prospective employers. Have always found her to be an upbeat, positive person, and full of suggestions. She knows her legal market well!
