The delivery was relatable in its style and content and I welcomed the openness of my exchanges with Julie Temple. An excellent course in a challenging and ever changing workplace environment. Attendee of BLHR equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace training.

Julie and her team were an invaluable support to HR consultants during the challenging times of Covid. Being based in Swansea, I had not come across the firm or Julie before and at the end of the pandemic, I reflected on how much time and effort Julie had invested to ensure that people in HR and Employment Law were as well briefed as they could be about the relentless updates and changes to legal requirements. During the presentations, Julie always ensured that the contents were current, applicable and explained in an easy way to understand. Covid was a challenging time for everyone, not least for those of us whose clients were looking to us for up to date guidance and reassurance in extremely turbulent times. My calm, reassurance and knowledge came from Julie. Julie presents in such a reassuring, down to earth manner. At the end of any zoom meetings, Julie always makes time for Q&A's and nothing seems too much trouble and neither does any question perplex her! On behalf of the many HR specialists who felt supported unconditionally through the pandemic, thank you Julie.

I have always found Birkett long to be extremely professional, helpful and knowledgeable on all the various occasions that I have used their services and would not consider using any other legal firm. Their expertise is first class.
