Our practice has always found the service to be very friendly, helpful and informative. The feedback and guidance from both Judith Curran and Laura Claridge has been very clear and it really helps to ensure we are following the employment law. Guidance on wording letters has also been beneficial. A great support and nothings ever been too much trouble. Would definitely contact them should we need future employment support.
