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!!
