Sarah King

Dr Sarah King taught at university level for several years, then qualified as a lawyer and spent five years at City firm Gouldens where she specialised in commercial property. She became increasingly involved in the firm's graduate recruitment programme and in 1996 joined EJ Legal. She became a director of the Company in 1997 and now specialises in partnership recruitment in London. She has been involved in many of the highest profile lateral and team hires of partners in private practice in recent years. Recently Sarah, who has researched the issues of recruitment and retention in law firms and the impact of corporate cultures on fee earners, has been asked by a number of City partnerships to address them. Sarah has just hit middle-age and is still trying to adjust to a life of being older than many of her partner candidates and existing without Westlife and Bacardi Breezers..
