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
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.
