Strategy and thought leadership for the legal industry.
Motive Legal Consulting
My name is Mark Brandon. I’m managing director of Motive Legal Consulting Ltd, which I founded in 2010 to provide strategic advice, recruitment support and thought leadership for law firms and legal industry suppliers.
In my thirty years in the legal industry, I spent twelve years as a journalist, editor and publisher then eight years as a recruiter in the City of London, placing partners and teams into UK and US law firms.
I’m best known for my work on The Legal 500 (editor), The Lawyer (journalist/columnist), The In-House Lawyer Magazine (Editor) and as series editor of The Insider’s Guides to Legal Services.
At Motive, clients have included a wide range of top US and UK law firms, boutique firms and legal start-ups, recruiters and a range of suppliers to the legal industry.
