About Henley Reid
When Henley Reid’s Managing Director, Samantha Cowling (BA, LLB), was practicing as a corporate lawyer in London in the early 2000s, she noticed a recurring theme within the legal sector.
Law firms and corporate legal teams were achieving transformative business results when they engaged the best legal minds. Yet even after the most exacting recruitment and interview process, high attrition rates were endemic across the sector.
Samantha made the switch into recruitment and executive coaching to resolve what seemed like a costly mismatch of expectations between firms and lawyers. Drawing on her first-hand knowledge of the legal sector’s business pressures, she offers a highly consultative service that aligns the interests of all parties, plus an excellence coaching program that then keeps everyone accountable to their long-term goals.
Her legal solutions firm, Henley Reid, takes its name from some of the places instrumental to Samantha’s growth as a corporate lawyer and specialist in legal talent.
