Barbara Kirchner studied law at Cambridge University before joining Allen & Overy where she worked as a corporate lawyer in the London, Frankfurt and Prague offices. Prior to joining Shilton Sharpe Quarry in April 2003 she worked at another leading recruitment consultancy, recruiting lawyers at all levels for both private practice and in-house roles. Barbara is now based in our Munich office and specialises in in-house recruitment at all levels of seniority. She speaks German, English, French and Hungarian.

"There are many things which SSQ does differently to most other legal recruitment consultancies. What I find most motivating however is the quality of our team - I am constantly impressed by the level of expertise and market knowledge each individual SSQ consultant offers, as well as by the excellent work and enthusiasm of our support staff. That's very inspiring."
