Overview of Katie

I am an experienced legal recruitment specialist and Associate Director at Sellick Partnership, leading the Private Practice Locum division across the North West and South West. Since entering the recruitment industry back in 2016 and joining Sellick Partnership in 2017 as a Recruitment Consultant, I have developed a proven track record in delivering high-quality interim and fixed-term talent solutions, progressing through multiple promotions to my current leadership role.

I manage a team of specialist Consultants dedicated to supporting private practice firms with flexible and effective locum resource. I work with a broad variety of law firms, from regional high-street practices to major international and city firms, placing skilled legal professionals into both short-notice assignments and longer-term placements.

My approach is proactive, relationship-focused and underpinned by my strong understanding of the legal market. I pride myself on delivering a responsive and compliant service, providing candidates with tailored guidance and access to meaningful interim opportunities, while advising clients on market trends, capacity planning and talent strategies.

My specialist areas span:

  • Property Law (Residential Conveyancing and Commercial Property)
  • Family Law
  • Private Client
  • Litigation
  • Employment
  • Corporate and Commercial
  • Personal Injury

With extensive market knowledge and a strong track record of supporting private practice firms, I am a trusted advisor to both clients and candidates seeking a partner who understands the fast-paced demands of locum recruitment in today’s legal landscape.
