Chloe Smith

Senior Consultant

Who am I and what can I do for you?

I’m a specialist legal recruiter responsible for the recruitment of legal professionals at all levels across Yorkshire and the North East.  My focus in Yorkshire is solely on non-Solicitor candidates, to include Chartered Legal Executives, paralegals, experienced non-qualified fee earners, Costs Lawyers and compliance specialists.  In the North East, I recruit at all levels from paralegals to qualified Solicitors, Senior Associates and Partners with a focus on the contentious markets.  I work with clients looking to recruit candidates into personal injury, commercial and civil litigation, property litigation, insolvency, costs, family and compliance.  

What team are you part of, and what is the best thing about your team?

I work in the Private Practice East Division, and am based out of our Leeds office. The best thing about our team is how well we all work together. We all get on so well, we work hard but have a great laugh and can count on each other through the good and the bad times.

5 words that describe me?

Open, Honest, Lively, Carefree, Funny (if I do say so myself)

A memorable event, day or memory at Sacco Mann? 

I think the most memorable event for me was when we went to Carlton Towers for our end of financial year celebrations.  We did life drawings, ate some great food, lots of wine, and a huge party it was a fabulous weekend.  The best memory was doing outdoor games in torrential rain, driving around the field on mini petrol cars and trying to navigate archery in gale force winds!

What else should you know about me?

In my spare time I love to wild camp! I love to take a rucksack, fill it with boil in the bag meals, coffee sachets, a roll mat and a sleeping bag and take myself into the mountains for the evening.  I also love to travel, sightsee and am a huge adrenaline junkie.  I love to spend time with friends and family, and am a huge lover of Sacco Mann nights out, particularly those that end in karaoke!




  • Likes: Holidays, blue skies, cocktails, coffee, cheesy chips.
  • Dislikes: Traffic jams, train cancellations, flight delays, dentists and paying for parking.
  • If you weren’t in this career, what else would you do and why? I honestly think I’d be a wedding or events planner. I’m always the designated party planner, responsible for organising parties, birthdays, holidays, nights out, weekends away, events and on a larger scale my wedding! I love to make plans, and more so when I see plans come together. I like to make sure everyone is having a good time, I’m a people pleaser so think I’d be great at this job.
  • What’s your favourite animal? It has to be dogs! I’ve always grown up with dogs, boxers, bull mastiffs and on the other end of the size chart a toy poodle! Dogs are the most loving animals and really do become part of the family. I used to spend my weekends volunteering at the RSPCA as a dog socialiser, which is essentially sitting with the dogs in their pens, playing with them, having cuddles and giving belly scratches, preparing them for life with a loving family – it was the most rewarding job.
