I started Thomas Telman in 2015 placing solicitors in private practice as a legal recruitment consultant, however in 2019 I stopped all recruitment.
Why?
I wanted to understand why capable law firms were still struggling to attract and retain talent even when pay, work quality, and reputation were strong.
That led me to study workplace culture in law firms in depth. I interviewed dozens of managing partners, HR directors, and practice leaders to understand where leadership intent and team experience were diverging. Those insights became the foundation of TrustLytics®.
I began writing and speaking about leadership, trust and engagement across the UK including speaking at the Law Society People Conference.Â
My specialist subject is helping leaders see their blind spots which is the gap between intent and impact that quietly shape trust, culture, and performance.
