Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The team is very responsive and pragmatic. I like the detailed breakdown contained in their estimates, which allows our team (which has some internal employment law capability) to make sensible decisions about what parts of a matter to take on ourselves and what to instruct CT on.'
- 'I work with Vonda Engels who is not only very expert in her area of expertise, but has the added factor of quickly "getting" the complex structure of our organisation, and who is also very enjoyable on a personal level to work with.'
