I am a Senior Recruitment Advisor at Simmons Adaptive; the flexible talent programme for Simmons & Simmons.
My role focusses on sourcing, placing, and managing talent for interim legal positions, both within the firm and for our clients. After graduating in 2017, I joined a legal recruitment agency specialising in the public sector, where I developed expertise in connecting top talent with central and local government clients In 2021, I joined Simmons Adaptive, bringing my recruitment expertise to a broader range of industries. I work collaboratively with our Partners to deliver tailored people solutions that keep both our clients and consultants at the heart of our decision-making process. Since joining, I’ve been promoted to Senior Advisor, where I support the training and development of new team members and initiatives to drive the success of our team. One of the most fulfilling aspects of my role is using my recruitment expertise to help the firm achieve its DE&I goals. I’m deeply committed to this cause and actively contribute to firmwide networks such as the Muslim Network, where I co-hosted the 2024 Iftar Dinner for Simmons and its clients. My work with initiatives like the Young Talent Programme and the School Mentoring Programme has allowed me to guide aspiring legal professionals, offering interview tips and career guidance to young talent. I am also proud to speak on panels at both the firm and my University, discussing important topics such as Muslim representation in the City and alternative career paths for women in law.
