What questions do you ask our clients?
When we talk to referees, we keep our conversations open-ended to try to ensure that we speak about all firms that have put forward this individual as a reference.
We essentially want to determine:
• The nature of the relationship between the firm and referee
• The type of work that the firm has handled for the referee in the last year or so (if applicable)
• The referee’s views on the quality of the service provided (including constructive criticisms)
