References can be supplied from current clients and you can read some testimonials here. All enquiries are welcome and if you're not quite sure where to begin just ask. Typically our services just cost around a third of what you would pay a solicitor. We do not seek to replace the specialist legal advice of a solicitor which may occasionally be required, we simply aim to be your Virtual HR Director.
