Testimonial:

"Moving away from traditional private practice to * Law has been a really positive experience for me.  I have been exposed to a greater variety of work - I am still doing transactions but alongside that I have been doing a greater mix of reorganisations, restructuring and reward work.  I enjoy the opportunity to work with colleagues in other practice areas such as tax and consulting and to be more involved at the early stage of projects.  * Law has a great culture, the Manchester team is very collegiate and great to work with.  We also work nationally so there is lots of opportunity to work with * Law colleagues from the other offices.  * Law has great ambition to expand and it would be a great opportunity to be part of that."
