Matt Curness

Director of Recruitment

With a career spanning more than 25 years as a Senior Clerk in leading Commercial and Chancery Chambers and more recently as a legal consultant, Matt has unrivalled knowledge of the Bar and wider legal sector.

Matthew’s impeccable reputation and extensive network mean he is ideally placed to work with and advise GRL’s clients across a full range of recruitment requirements.  In particular Matt focuses on Barrister and Barrister Team moves, senior management and business support roles and lawyer and law firm recruitment – Matt also works across GRL’s Change Management and Consultancy projects.

Matt has been acknowledged by Legal 500 as ‘outstanding’ and ‘commercially minded’.

“Many specialist recruiters often claim ‘expert market knowledge’ of the London legal marketplace, but few rival GRL’s depth of experience”
Chambers Director, Leading Common Law Chambers
"Such helpful people and such a lovely team of recruiters! Would definitely recommend GRL as a company. Matt, Paul and Becky have been amazing and extremely helpful."
GRL Candidate - Junior Clerk
“GRL are responsive, helpful, and transparent and have the highest level of integrity”
Deputy Senior Clerk, Leading Common Law Chambers
“Paul provided step-by-step guidance from outlining potential openings, to the interview process and finally accepting the contract. Very professional and nurturing - highly recommend.”
GRL Candidate - Junior Barristers' Clerk
“I have no doubt that without GRL's valuable input Chambers would not now be leading the way in our sectors as we presently are”
Head of Chambers, Leading PI and Civil set
"Becky and Matt have been extremely helpful throughout the recruitment process, providing me with the necessary tools to be successful. They are always there for support and guidance and made the whole recruitment process much easier, I would definitely recommend if candidates are looking to get in to the legal sector."
GRL Candidate
"GRL confidently and seamlessly guided us through the crucial process of recruiting a new Chambers Director”
Head of Recruitment Committee, Leading Commercial and Civil set
"GRL Legal have been great throughout the whole process. Nick and Ed were in constant communication with me by email/phone and have been a massive help in securing my new role! Many thanks."
GRL Candidate
“What sets GRL apart is their unique understanding of the Bar and the issues that both members and staff face, in their daily working lives”
Senior Clerk, Leading Public Law, Employment and Commercial Chambers
"I couldn’t be more grateful with the team at GRL in helping me secure a fantastic new job. They went above and beyond in ensuring I was placed in the best suited position for me whilst also meeting all my personal needs. The communication was exceptional and so friendly/personable. I couldn’t fault them. Thank you so much!"
GRL Candidate
“GRL are proactive and often come to us with ideas that are beneficial to both parties”
Practice Director, Leading Commercial Chambers
“Paul and Becky were great! The communication from both was excellent, from the first online meeting, to receiving a phone call with a job offer. I was only under GRL Legal for a few weeks before being invited to three interviews and accepting a job offer, all with the help of Paul and Becky. Since starting my new job, Becky has been in contact to check in, which was really nice. I couldn't recommend GRL Legal enough!”
GRL Candidate
“It’s been a real pleasure working with GRL. We have found it a very smooth process; you obviously know the Bar very well indeed and that inspires a lot of confidence. I also appreciate the way that, as promised, you sent us an array of candidates, which allowed us to probe what we really needed. We are very happy with our ultimate recruitment of our new Head of Operations and feel very positive about her working within our existing team, which as you know was a priority.”
Head of Chambers, Leading Civil Barristers' Chambers
