Would absolutely recommend Clayton legal, I had a first rate service from Justine Forshaw she was amazing and went above and beyond her duties helping me out and even helped me outside of her working hours, she couldn't have done more for me and I now have a great job because of all her help. Go to Clayton legal for any help with your future employment issues.
Legal Assistant, Liverpool
Highly recommend Justine Forshaw at Clayton Legal! she was incredibly helpful and professional throughout, nothing was too much trouble if i had any extra questions or help with anything she was straight on it and always very quick to reply to any emails. The amazing service did not stop there, once i had secured my new position Justine emailed me on several occasions over the first few weeks of my new role and asked how i was getting on, which i did not expect at all. If you're looking for help to secure a new role that's suited to you then definitely go through Clayton Legal. Thanks again for all your help Justine!!
