This would entail reading case files, briefing counsel, attending counsel, and taking statements from clients and instructing experts.

After studying law at university she chucked it all in to move to Italy and teach Italian business people how to do their jobs in English. After ten years of wine and sunshine, she returned to the UK and is now a recruitment consultant and freelance writer. At least until that unfinished novel makes her a millionaire.

TESTIMONIALS

Thank you for your assistance and I will use you again when the need arises, I find you a very efficient and friendly company.

Senior Partner, South Coast, June 2023

For locums we use Jonathan Fagan at Interim Lawyers. Heï¿½s a nice, helpful guy and his fees arenï¿½t too bad (for an agent!)

Law firm, 2019

I was a bit apprehensive at first when you initially emailed me as I thought this would be another generic email and I have unfortunately previously had some poor experiences with recruiters. That is not to say that all recruiters out there are the same but I can honestly say WITHOUT A DOUBT you have been the most pleasant recruiter I have dealt with; very efficient and found me the ideal role very quickly. This is testament to your capabilities and I am deeply grateful for this opportunity. Thank you so much once again for your efforts Emma.
