Two fantastic results achieved for our clients in the High Court in the past 7 days. Both clients were expertly represented by counsel Lili Prais, Advocate and Stephanie Clinkscale, Solicitor Advocate respectively and ably supported by Kirsty Harper. As we prepare to celebrate our first birthday at CSG Legal our reputation as a firm continues to grow and I am grateful to have such hard working and dedicated colleagues who take pride in providing first class legal representation to our clients.
