Just before Christmas there was a bit of a disaster at our former law chambers where we had been happy tenants for nearly a dozen years and we found ourselves in need of an immediate new home.
We became virtual tenants of Wolf Law Chambers, and honestly, they’re really a wonderful service.
They support tenants with mini websites – my firm never had one before – and today I was alerted to this lovely Instagram post.
Thank you Wolf Law Chambers – this is a very uplifting bit of cheer in our day.
