Contract Of Employment
While searching for a solicitor who dealt with employment law on line, the searches came up with Goodharts and a lot of the reviews mentioned Marie Colquhoun. I contacted them by telephone and Marie called me back the same day.
I outlined what l needed and Marie went through the process with me giving clear and professional advice. Marie’s communication was first class and she pushed for changes on my behalf. Would highly recommend as having Marie in your corner would make all the difference due to her great legal knowledge.
