Luke Thompson

• Founding Director

Luke is the founding Director of Introlegal.

As a former Matrimonial Solicitor/Partner in both the regions and London he has an excellent understanding of the legal industry and the requirements of his clients and candidates alike. Luke prides himself on upholding exceptional client care.

Having practiced law for in excess of 10 years he is always empathetic to candidate’s needs. Luke is also fortunate in that a large number of his clients are former professional contacts during his time in legal practice. Such relationships continue to go from strength to strength due to his knowledge and understanding of the legal industry and that of his client’s needs/ ethos.

Introlegal was founded in 2019 – Luke started Introlegal with a vision of creating a boutique legal recruitment consultancy and not just another agency. He is immensely proud of the service Introlegal provides.

Outside of the office Luke enjoys time with his wife, teenage children and family dog namely, Lawson. Luke is a keen metal detectorist and lover of history. When not sipping on a new red wine Luke can often be found in a muddy field (when time permits) searching for a Roman coin – sadly no gold hoard yet!

Natalie is also a qualified commercial property solicitor. Natalie trained at Addleshaw Goddard and stayed for 3 years post qualification. She then moved to Seddons in the West End and worked in their very busy commercial real estate department for seven years.

Natalie is a mum to two toddlers and after having her second baby in 2020, she made the decision to change career and move into Legal Recruitment. She has always excelled in business development and now she gets to connect and engage with like-minded people daily which she loves! Natalie has used the network she built up over the years to assist candidates with unique opportunities. She particularly enjoys acting as confidante and advisor to solicitors from NQ through to Partner.

Having been a solicitor herself for such a long period of time, it allows her to have that invaluable insight into what it is her clients are looking for in a candidate. It also helps her to understand what her candidates’ needs are; and often challenge a lot of those ideals.

In her spare time, Natalie enjoys weightlifting, walking in Epping Forest, listening to podcasts, cooking, and sampling red wine!
