  • The secondees that we have had from Pinsents Vario have been very experienced, self-motivated and competent. They are also extremely personable and immediately slotted straight into our team, which was great. Our senior lawyer secondee is able to work very autonomously and has quickly built up strong working relationships with the internal clients as if they were a staff lawyer.
