As an MD of a U.S. broker I met Jean when I was ignorant and lost when it came to UK employment law. She and her team were professional, creative and right on the money when we needed fast accurate advice. I have dealt with Jean many times over the last 20 years including employment and contract questions and litigation help and direction. I trust her completely and she has a perfect record with me and my colleagues for efficient, cost effective , reliable advice and execution. I can whole heartedly recommend her to consult on any corporate, legal issue.
