# Hewetson & Co
Hewetson & Co is a specialist legal recruitment firm based in London's financial district, dedicated exclusively to the UK Bar. For 25 years, Guy Hewetson and Tony Stephenson have positioned themselves as the pre-eminent headhunters for barristers' chambers, earning recognition as Advocate Silver Patrons within the legal sector.
The firm serves silks, barristers, chambers management, and administrative staff across premier commercial and specialist sets. They manage complex chambers moves, tenant placements, and senior leadership appointments. Their client base includes high-profile practitioners in commercial law, employment litigation, banking, offshore finance, and business law.
What distinguishes Hewetson & Co is their authentic, discretion-focused approach. Rather than transactional recruitment, they act as strategic advisors who challenge clients when necessary and navigate sensitive chambers transitions with complete confidentiality. Their intimate knowledge of Bar culture and relationships—built over two decades—enables them to match practitioners with chambers that align with their practice and values.
The firm's reputation rests on delivering seamless placements whilst maintaining the discretion paramount to chambers dynamics. Testimonials from banking silks and leading commercial sets emphasise their integrity and industry leadership. Recent placements include specialist barristers joining prestigious chambers like 42BR Barristers and Devereux Chambers.
Hewetson & Co operates under the principle of "authenticity without compromise," serving as trusted advisors rather than mere recruiters within the competitive UK Bar landscape.
