After not getting much help elsewhere for an ID1 Form, I reached out to Clarkson Wright & Jakes Notaries who were really helpful despite it being a quick, off service and were able to help me complete the form with a friendly and approachable manner. Thank you Alis and Andrew.

I highly recommend Faye Shortall as the solicitor for employment matters. She helped me to go through settlement agreement stress free with full understanding of my options. She was supporting me with negotiating, giving very valuable insights. Thank you Faye for assisting in this journey, you made it easy and enjoyable with full benefits.

I am so pleased with the services provided by CWJ, firstly in helping me with the probate of my mothers estate, and then with the conveyance service when the time came to sell the property.

The main channel of communication has been through email, my choice, and responses have been received within a couple of hours.

I heard about CWJ through my local rugby club who they have supported, through sponsorship, for many years now. This is important to me, and I like to use local companies that invest and are committed to the local community.

In summary, a very professional and knowledgeable law firm with a big friendly heart.
