Q: What do I do if I can’t fulfil an assignment?

A: There will be occasional times as a locum solicitor when you will not be able to fulfil an assignment for one reason or another. It is absolutely vital that you contact us by phone, text and/or email as soon as possible so that we can find a replacement. We can be contacted Monday – Sunday between the hours of 08.00 – 17.00hrs on 0207 127 4343.

The best way of contacting us to notify outside these hours is by email. We regularly pick up messages.

We would naturally appreciate you keeping all cancellations to a minimum wherever possible. We penalise any locums who pull out on us without a very good reason and will certainly avoid using them again in future.

TESTIMONIALS

…still with us are the 3 senior property and private client locums you placed with us – all three excellent and long term- many thanks.

Long term locum placement

Can I say that I have enjoyed working with Interim Lawyers and Ten Percent Legal over the last couple of years, your no nonsense, keep it simple approach is such a refreshing change from other agencies I have used.

No Nonsense Recruitment

I have recommended you and said you were the agent to approach. I hope that was the correct procedure. Somebody has to say how valued you are by small firms.

Recommendation

Thank you for your assistance and I will use you again when the need arises, I find you a very efficient and friendly company.

For locums we use Jonathan Fagan at Interim Lawyers. He’s a nice, helpful guy and his fees aren’t too bad (for an agent!)

I was a bit apprehensive at first when you initially emailed me as I thought this would be another generic email and I have unfortunately previously had some poor experiences with recruiters. That is not to say that all recruiters out there are the same but I can honestly say WITHOUT A DOUBT you have been the most pleasant recruiter I have dealt with; very efficient and found me the ideal role very quickly. This is testament to your capabilities and I am deeply grateful for this opportunity. Thank you so much once again for your efforts Emma.
