Testimonial
Laura-Kate has been amazing in helping me find my first legal job since finishing university. After finding jobs that she thought I would be suitable for she put my name forward and then I was constantly kept in the loop with updates at each stage of the process. Even after getting the job, Laura-Kate checked in with me to check I was ready and with general reassurances. I was helped with interview preparation and given tips and then was helped transition as smoothly as possible into my new job.
