I have worked with the Employment team at Clarke Willmott over the last few years and have found them to be not only responsive and commercial to my needs, but the team also demonstrate a deep understanding of the business and the industry in which I operate. They are very much results orientated, which I find to be extremely helpful when looking to navigate through tricky employment law and HR issues. With a strong emphasis on client care, the team are always a pleasure to deal with.
