Imogen was able to help us out at short notice over a tricky employment issue that we had no previous experience in... dealing with. It was a very stressful time, not knowing what we would do. Having someone to communicate with over the weekend and early morning was very reassuring. We found Imogen to be very knowledgeable and intuitive in the advice she gave.
Imogen has also updated our Contracts of Employment. We feel these are more professional and now include sections we would not have thought about ourselves. It it great to know that Imogen is on hand should we need further advice in the future.read more
