Testimonials
From Andrew Stone, managing partner of Cooke Painter Ltd
As a small firm of High Street solicitors, we have found Connect2Law very useful indeed. From time to time, work comes in which is too specialised (or esoteric?) for us to deal with. Connect2Law means that we are certain that our clients are being directed to a firm who can deal with their niche requirements and also means that we are sure we will not lose our clients to a competitor firm. In addition, we even receive a commission for our trouble! It really is a win-win setup from our point of view.
From a former partner at John Hodge & Co
Connect2Law is a superb concept that has really worked for us. As a way of offering services to existing clients that may be outside our scope (and yet retain those clients), as a marketing exercise, as a way of making connections in the local legal community and as a way of saving money it makes total sense.
As active members of Connect2Law we can provide our clients with a complete service.
Our relationship with Veale Wasbrough Vizards means that when we make a referral we know that it is going to be acted upon swiftly and without any hassle to us or our client. The courses that are offered are always well run, informative, are an easy way of collecting CPD points and a great way of meeting other practitioners. And they’re free! Joining Connect2Law was a very easy decision to make and one that has provided us with real benefits.
