Legal Secretary at Michael Cook Law Firm Limited

Layla Hutchinson

Legal Secretary

Layla joined Michael Cook Law Firm in August 2024 as a Legal Secretary having spent the previous 2 years within an employment law environmental working. Outside of work Layla is Season ticket holder with Sunderland AFC (go to home and away games) and can always be found at a concert of some sort. Experience After leaving college I gained a Business Administration Apprenticeship at another law firm in 2022 which is where I gained the basics of life within a law firm. As I found myself eager to learn I was promoted to legal assistant in November 2023. I have since gained a wider insight into the legal profession by also assisting in the private client sector within Michael Cook Law Firm which I also find extremely rewarding.

Excellent communication

5

I highly recommend Michael Cook firm and more specifically Layla and Sophie who have helped deal with 2 of my home moves so far. Layla emails and contacts myself to give regular feedback and how the case is progressing and I feel confident that I can get a swift reply when I email. Sophie when I’ve been in a rush or no printer has printed information off for me to collect and gone through it with me if needed.
A very positive experience.

I found Michael Cook to be an excellent solicitors, communication was excellent, very clear documentation to complete. Any calls to the office were answered very promptly, and person answering could always answer any questions I have straight away.
