Twenty minutes.
Off the record.
No pitch.
A confidential conversation with Syed Nasser, Director of Talent at gunnercooke. Focused on your practice, not our proposition.
At your pace.
Slots across UK, European and US business hours.
A different kind of first conversation.
Most partners who make the move tell us this one was easier than they expected. Here is why.
Confidential and off the record
Twenty minutes, no obligation, nothing shared with your current firm. Your enquiry stays with the recruitment team.
About your practice, not our pitch
We spend most of the time listening — what you have built, what you want next, where the current structure is pulling against you.
Followed up only if you ask
If it is useful, we take it further. If it is not, we leave it there. No sequences, no chasing, no unsolicited emails afterwards.
The point is not to persuade you.It is to answer the questions the website cannot.

Syed Nasser, Director of Talent.
Syed leads senior lateral hiring at gunnercooke. He speaks with partners considering platform firms every week — which means he has heard most of the questions already, and knows which ones are worth spending the twenty minutes on.
The conversation is not a recruitment interview and it is not a sales call. It is a chance to understand how the gunnercooke model would work for your practice specifically — the economics, the support, the move itself — before you decide whether to take it any further.
Most partners who join tell us the first conversation did one of two things. Either it answered the one practical question that had been blocking them, or it made clear this was not the right move at this point. Both are useful outcomes.
Clarity on the economics
How the fee-share model would work for the size and shape of practice you have today.
Clarity on the fit
Whether gunnercooke is right for your practice, or whether another route makes more sense.
Clarity on the move
What the practical steps involve, what support is in place, and what the first six months typically look like.
Three things we try to leave you with.
Not a decision — a decision does not get made in twenty minutes. But enough to know whether a longer conversation is worth having.
An honest view
Where gunnercooke is a fit and where it is not — based on what you tell us about your practice.
Specific numbers
How the economics would work for a practice of your size, not a generic range.
A clear next step
If it makes sense to continue, you leave the call knowing exactly what happens next. If it does not, you leave knowing that too.

Before you book, here is what the conversation is for.
The practical answers to the questions most partners want to ask before committing twenty minutes.
No. It is a confidential, exploratory conversation. There is no CV required, no formal process, and no commitment to continue. If you decide the model is not right for you, the conversation ends there.
No. Every conversation is held in confidence by the gunnercooke recruitment team and never shared externally, with your firm, or with any third party.
Nothing formal. A rough sense of your practice size, your main client types, and what you want more or less of in the next five years is enough. Syed does the rest.
If it looks useful at the end of the twenty, you can book a longer follow-up on the spot. Most partners find twenty is enough to work out whether a longer conversation is worth having.
Email [email protected] and we will arrange something that works around your diary — including evenings and weekends if that is easier.
