It’s a privilege, albeit sometimes a very hard one, to help guide and support people at what can be some very distressing parts of their life. I have laughed and cried with clients and rejoiced with them when their case was concluded. I have been part of the Forrest Williams family since March 2012 and have grown my career through their support, it really is a great place to work! Joining Forrest Williams was an amazing opportunity to help the people we serve and know that what I do matters to other people too. Aside from a few modules on EU law at university, I joined with no formal legal training but what I did have was a background in customer service and corporate relations and the desire to learn. I found that learning about the law in my role as a paralegal gave me the desire to go back to university (alongside all of my ‘mum duties’) to qualify as a solicitor after 4 years of study.

Highly recommend. They were very understanding, put me in touch with the right specialists and were good at keeping me regularly updated with my case, which took over two years.
